Senior AI Software Engineer

The best of medicine should belong to everyone. Nobody dreams of becoming good at being a patient. We have people to love, things we want to do, and plans we hope to keep. Illness already asks enough of us.

xCures® exists to give healthcare the capacity to care for everyone. Healthcare has more to give. Too much of its time, money, and talent goes into unnecessary work that keeps people waiting and drives up the cost of care. Freeing those resources can make excellent care possible for far more people.

xCures understands a patient’s history across the places they receive care and keeps that understanding current. It puts trusted information in the hands of the people who need it, when they need it, and uses that knowledge to take on more of the administrative work around care. Every extracted data point traces back to the exact document and page it came from.

Our ambition is to empower doctors to make better decisions, enable researchers to develop better treatments faster, and help healthcare organizations serve more people with fewer errors and lower costs. We work with diagnostic labs, providers, telehealth companies, health systems, payers, and consumer health platforms. We are a fully remote, venture-backed team that holds itself to the same standard as our product: trustworthy, precise, and purposeful.

We are building for the lives people want to live.

xCures is looking for a Senior AI Software Engineer to help pioneer how AI gets used in one of the most regulated industries there is: healthcare. You will report directly to our Head of AI Engineering, designing and building systems that let us deliver more, faster, without giving up quality. You will help scale our technical foundation and performance as we grow. This is a chance to shape how AI-driven engineering works in a regulated space, and set the pattern the team follows.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own software design and architecture, making technical decisions that hold up as we scale
• Write and ship production code across features and bug fixes, moving quickly without sacrificing quality
• Identify and clear roadblocks, technical or cross-team, that slow down delivery
• Partner with stakeholders across teams to land on solutions that serve company priorities, driving initiatives from idea to completion with minimal oversight
• Champion adoption of AI-forward development workflows across the engineering org, measured by increased velocity and reduced backlog
• Contribute to new platform and product deliverables as our architecture evolves

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Hands-on experience building AI-powered workflows and software
• Experience with AWS and GCP
• Strong proficiency in an object-oriented programming language
• Deep knowledge of application security and defensive programming standards
• Experience with database design and scaling
• Demonstrated experience with software performance and optimization
• Experience working in a highly regulated industry (e.g., healthcare, finance)
• Experience with event-driven architecture or CQRS
• Strong foundation in core computer science fundamentals and algorithmic thinking
• An agile, systems-level thinker who can diagnose ambiguous problems and drive to a solution using first-principles reasoning
• Self-directed: able to figure out what a task requires, identify who to loop in for missing details, and execute end to end

Bonus Points:

• Experience with data science or data engineering work
• A metrics-driven approach to evaluating your own and your team's output
