ML/LLM Engineer – Applied AI

Position Overview

Autonomize AI is revolutionizing healthcare by streamlining knowledge workflows with AI. We reduce administrative burdens and elevate outcomes, empowering professionals to focus on what truly matters — improving lives. We're growing fast and looking for bold, driven teammates to join us.

We are seeking a hands-on ML/LLM Engineer excited to ship real-world applications — not just benchmarks. In this mid to senior-level role, you will build and optimize AI-native systems that blend structured and unstructured data to power decisions in high-stakes domains. You’ll tackle applied ML challenges ranging from retrieval to routing to generation, shipping solutions that truly deliver impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and optimize pipelines that combine classical ML and LLM-based systems (RAG, scoring, summarization, etc.).
• Fine-tune and evaluate LLMs using both open-source and proprietary data.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to build real-world applications in healthcare and biopharma.
• Implement retrieval strategies, prompt chaining, and inference orchestration for production use cases.
• Monitor and improve model quality, latency, explainability, and safety.
• Stay ahead of the curve in LLM evaluation, tuning, and agent-based architectures.

Required Qualifications

• 3–6 years of experience in applied ML, with at least 1–2 years working with LLMs.
• Strong Python skills and familiarity with ML/LLM frameworks (PyTorch, Transformers, LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.).
• Comfort with embeddings, vector search, retrieval pipelines, and prompt tuning.
• Bias for experimentation, clarity, and pushing things into production — fast.
• Understanding of responsible AI practices, model evaluation, and observability.
• Experience in healthcare, compliance-sensitive data, or regulated environments.

Benefits & Perks

• A chance to make a real impact in the future of healthcare.
• Autonomy, ownership, and the ability to chart your own growth path.
• Compensation: Competitive compensation and benefits.
• 100% employer-paid health, vision, and dental insurance.
