About The Role

Our client is a stealth healthcare AI startup backed by a top-tier global venture capital firm, founded by experienced entrepreneurs with a strong track record in healthtech and large-scale consumer platforms.

Their mission is ambitious: to automate GP-level diagnosis using AI agents, transforming how healthcare is accessed and delivered globally.

This is a hands-on Principal Software Engineer role for someone who wants to operate at the intersection of AI, healthcare, and distributed systems, working directly with real hospitals and clinics to deploy production-grade solutions.

What You'll Work On

Deploy and refine enterprise-grade AI systems used in real healthcare environments
Build AI-driven patient communication and triage systems
Design and operate agent orchestration frameworks with strong guardrails
Develop secure healthcare data layers with strict privacy and compliance requirements
Implement low-latency voice and video systems for clinical use cases
Solve complex problems in distributed systems, scalability, and enterprise integration
Work closely with hospitals, clinics, and internal stakeholders to ship real-world solutions

Tech Stack & Focus

Primary language: Python (core requirement)
AI systems for patient communication and decision support
Distributed systems at scale
Secure data architectures for healthcare
Enterprise integrations and production deployments
Flexibility to use other languages where appropriate for senior engineers

What We're Looking For

Senior / Principal-level software engineering experience
Strong expertise in Python and production systems
Experience working with hospitals, clinics, or regulated healthcare environments
Proven ability to deploy and maintain enterprise-grade systems
Comfort operating in ambiguous, high-impact problem spaces
Strong ownership mindset and ability to work autonomously

Why This Role?

Direct impact on real healthcare outcomes, not experiments
Work on doctor-level AI agents, not superficial automation
Backed by top-tier investors with long-term vision
High ownership, high trust, and minimal bureaucracy
Competitive compensation with meaningful equity upside

Who This Role Is Not For

Engineers looking for purely academic or research-only roles
Candidates uncomfortable with production responsibility
Those preferring narrow scope or rigid processes

Apply now if you want to build AI systems that operate at the heart of healthcare — at scale, in production, and with real-world impact...
