AI EngineerAs an AI Engineer on our research team, you'll work on our hardest research and AI infra problems. You'll both help prototype new products and also work on turning prototypes into a high quality AI product. Hard problems include passing the healthcare billing Turing Test - would an insurance agent who is interacting with our AI or a healthcare biller who is reviewing the work of our AI think our AI is a human, and not an AI? More concretely, you will be working to improve our AI agent's quality so it acts more human-like and collects more accurate and detailed results from insurance.What you'll doMain focus is on improving models, LLM orchestration, prompt optimizations, evaluation framework, and AI infraEnable agent/workflow product engineersOwn and raise the bar on AI qualityOwn ultimate vision of end to end AI orchestration of modulesWork on hardest research problems (ie.
