Job Description

• Drive AI innovations that make high quality mental healthcare more accessible. • Be the founding member of our AI technical team, defining and executing its roadmap. • Lead cross-functional efforts spanning engineering, clinical, compliance, and product teams. • Define and lead the AI roadmap across experimentation, model evaluation, deployment, and iteration. • Architect systems to support safe and scalable LLM interactions—including prompt chaining, memory retention, and RAG pipelines. • Develop strategies for model selection and cost-effective inference at scale. • Design and implement experiments to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and impact of AI innovations. • Build and scale a high-performing AI team across machine learning, data science, MLOps, and backend infrastructure. • Serve as the AI technical authority in conversations with external vendors, cloud partners, compliance officers, and executive stakeholders. • Partner with legal and clinical teams to ensure HIPAA compliance, BAA alignment, and safe handling of sensitive patient data.

Job Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in AI/ML roles, with at least 3 years leading cross-functional teams including engineering, product, and research.
  • A successful track record of shipping production-grade AI systems—ideally in healthcare, mental health, or another mission-critical domain.
  • Deep technical fluency in LLMs, retrieval systems, and safe interaction design—with an ability to lead architectural decisions and implementation.
  • Experience building or managing AI teams from 0→1, with a strong recruiting eye and mentorship skills.
  • Familiarity with ethical AI, including red-teaming, bias mitigation, explainability, and escalation protocols for risky outputs.
  • Strong understanding of healthcare compliance (e.g., HIPAA, PHI), including how to architect systems with auditability and patient safety in mind.
  • A pragmatic approach to experimentation and iteration—balancing cutting-edge AI with operational feasibility and clinical guardrails.
  • Exceptional communication skills—able to convey technical decisions to both engineers and executives, and lead strategic conversations with confidence.

Benefits

  • Excellent benefits: medical, dental, vision, effective day 1 of employment
  • 401K with match
  • Generous PTO plus paid holidays
  • Paid parental leave
  • Professional development opportunities
