Jose is a founding engineer with proven ability to build AI products end-to-end in regulated, high-reliability environments (emergency response systems, crypto wallet, telehealth-adjacent voice platform). His deep expertise in LLM agents, prompt engineering, RAG systems, and production AI orchestration directly matches the core responsibilities. The main gap is lack of explicit healthcare domain experience and clinical workflow familiarity, though his track record with mission-critical systems and multi-stakeholder coordination demonstrates the ability to learn healthcare requirements quickly.
Hook: You've built real-time AI systems at scale and shipped LLM agents to production—Ro needs exactly that to turn healthcare operations into AI-native workflows, and your founding engineer experience means you'll own the vision end-to-end.
Missing: Healthcare domain knowledge, HIPAA/regulatory compliance experience, Clinical workflow familiarity

Ro (ro.co) | direct-to-patient telehealth | NYC (hybrid, 2x a week in office) Lots of open eng roles :) but we want to specifically highlight a brand new one for us: - Senior AI Engineer: https://jobs.lever.co/ro/81dd41da-ba24-435b-83c4-bd19a312744b?lever-origin=applied&lever-source%5B%5D=Hacker%20News This is on a new team we’re building from the ground up. We've got an awesome Engineering Manager you'll work alongside, and you'll own AI features from prototype through production and spend as much time improving workflows with clinical operators as writing code. Most of your work will involve building orchestration layers, prompts, evaluations, retrieval systems, and tooling that make LLMs reliable enough for real-world healthcare operations.
