About the Role
Vi is seeking a Senior Applied AI Engineer to build and deploy end-to-end AI agents for wellness clients. This role involves translating complex clinical workflows into technical designs, managing data ingestion, and maintaining production infrastructure for real-time agent operations.
Skills
Full job details
We’re looking for a senior engineer who can take Vi’s AI agent capabilities and make them work in production. You’ll build and ship intelligent AI agents for Wellness clients — owning everything from data ingestion and CRM integration to real-time agent infrastructure. This is a client-facing role: you work closely with enterprise customers to understand their workflows, then you build AI orchestrated workflows that automate them.
You’re comfortable with databases, data pipelines, AI/ML tooling, agent configuration, and the messy realities of integrating with healthcare data systems. You ship fast, you think in products, and you don’t wait for specs.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and deploy AI agents for Wellness clients, end-to-end.
- Translate client workflows into real agent workflow design. Run technical sessions with clients' clinical, IT, and ops teams; converting needs into prompts, tools, retrieval shapes, and vector stores.
- Integrate with client data systems including CRMs and build the ingestion pipelines to support them.
- Write the production stack - agent runtime, routing, orchestration, evals; help build out the ML side in Python (training, embeddings, model registry); compose declarative guardrails & integrations within workflows.
- Design and maintain databases (relational and caching layers) that support both real-time agent operations and compliance audit trails.
- Codify per-client configuration patterns into reusable components so each new client onboards faster than the last.
- Collaborate with product, account management, and platform engineering to translate field learnings into platform improvements.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years in a production engineering role shipping customer-facing software. Solutions engineering or consulting backgrounds qualify if you were writing and deploying production code, not just scoping it.
- Fluency in wide range of programming languages (Javascript/Node, Typescript, Python, etc)
- Experience building and operating real-time systems: WebSockets, streaming media, event-driven architectures, or high-throughput API services.
- Production integration work with CRM platforms (Salesforce, HubSpot, or similar) or data warehouse/lake connectors (Snowflake, Databricks, S3).
- Have built retrieval and ingestion paths that feed agents reliable context with correct guardrails & caching in place.
- Working knowledge of data engineering patterns: ETL/ELT pipelines, data quality checks, ingestion from heterogeneous sources.
- Comfort with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP): containers, CI/CD, monitoring, and basic security practices.
- Strong client-facing communication: you can run a technical working session with a customer’s IT team and translate what you learn into engineering decisions.
- Startup disposition: you build, you ship, you fix what breaks. Low ego, high agency.
Nice to Have
- Voice or telephony infrastructure experience: building or operating real-time call systems at scale.
- LLM orchestration and agentic system design: prompt engineering, function calling, structured output, guardrails.
- Experience with workflow engines, rules engines, or state machine architectures.
- Product sensibility: you think about user experience, not just system architecture. You’ve influenced product direction through technical insight.
