Being a AI engineer at Usawa

An AI engineer at Usawa develops AI systems that support the core of Usawa’s clinical workflows. You will design, build, evaluate, and improve AI agents used in healthcare contexts, combining LLM-based systems and machine learning techniques to create AI systems that are support simple, reliable and tasteful product experiences.

What we’re looking for

We are looking for someone with strong AI engineering skills and good product judgment.

You will be developing and exploring novel ideas, mainly with applied AI (LLM-based) but you are expected to help develop and train the next step of Usawa’s custom AI/ML features.

Any projects, blog posts, or other demonstrations of great technical skills, curiosity, and creativity are taken into high consideration. We are looking for people outside the norm who can define the future of AI in healthcare, no matter your age or previous work experience. We believe that with a great team, anyone can punch way beyond their weight!

Technical skills:

• Experience building AI/LLM-based products or systems.
  • Applied AI/ML is the focus but technical expertise in the underlying mathematics and training processes is clearly a plus.
• Experience with prompt engineering, evaluation, observability, and agent workflows.
• Strong software engineering skills.
• Experience designing reliable AI systems in production.
• Ability to work with data, metrics, and evaluation pipelines.

We’re also looking for someone who:

• Cares deeply about what they are building
• Wants to build things properly, even when that means rethinking or rebuilding something
• Is allergic to tech debt and avoids shortcuts that create future problems
• Has a strong ownership and accountability mindset
• Obsessed with details, quality, and reliability
