Jose is an exceptionally strong match with 12+ years of shipping production systems, proven expertise building AI products end-to-end (real-time voice, LLM agents, multi-channel systems), and deep technical breadth across Python, TypeScript, distributed systems, and large-scale data pipelines. His founding engineer role building Addie demonstrates exactly the kind of ambiguous problem-solving and full-stack ownership ViyaMD seeks, and his experience with clinical/healthcare-adjacent systems (emergency response, data analysis) combined with his M.S. in AI shows both domain understanding and the technical rigor required for high-stakes AI systems. The only meaningful gap is direct healthcare/clinical experience, though his background in safety-critical systems suggests he can rapidly master domain nuances.
Hook: Your founding engineer experience building end-to-end AI products with real-time systems and multi-channel delivery, combined with your depth in LLM agents and data infrastructure, makes you ideally suited to own ViyaMD's clinical intelligence platform.
Missing: Direct healthcare or clinical domain experience, Medical record processing or healthcare data standards experience

ViyaMD | Staff Software Engineer, Staff ML Engineer | SF Bay Area | ONSITE ViyaMD is building a physician-grade clinical intelligence platform for legal, insurance, and healthcare teams. We analyze large, messy medical record sets and turn them into clinically accurate timelines, reasoning, and insights in minutes. We’re hiring for two senior roles: # Staff Software Engineer: Own core product and platform systems: medical record ingestion, document understanding pipelines, backend/data infrastructure, clinical workflow, and production reliability. We’re looking for: * 5–8+ years of software engineering experience * Strong Python/Typescript/backend engineering skills * Experience with distributed systems, data-intensive apps, or large-scale document processing * Ability to own ambiguous problems from architecture through production * Interest in healthcare, clinical data, legal-tech, or AI products # Staff ML Engineer: Own how ViyaMD evaluates and improves its clinical AI: define eval metrics, run model/agent evaluations, improve prompts and workflows, and close the loop through better retrieval, agentic systems, and fine-tuned models. We’re looking for: * 5–8+ years of professional experience * Strong hands-on AI/ML evaluation experience * Experience with LLMs, RAG, agents, fine-tuning, or applied ML systems * Fluency in Python * Healthcare or clinical experience is a strong plus, but not required We’re especially excited about people who want to set the technical bar, work close to real users and data, and build AI systems that must be accurate and trusted in high-stakes domains. You'd work directly with our founding team, with real influence over how we build. Comp: competitive salary, meaningful early-stage equity, and benefits.
