Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

Tala Health was built to transform a healthcare system that remains slow, expensive and inefficient. Today's patients often face a fragmented system that requires juggling doctor visits, lab work, referrals and long wait times just to reach a diagnosis. With Tala Health, patients will receive a new kind of care experience that brings AI agents and clinicians together from the start to deliver accurate, personalized care faster. We are building AI agents to support the full arc of the patient journey.
