• Work with modern AI frameworks including LLMs
• Ensuring adherence to standard best-practices for data security and encryption
• Support and evolve our AWS infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Terraform)
• Participate in code reviews, technical planning, and architectural discussions

Preferred

• Experience with LLM integrations, machine-learning algorithms, data vectorization, RAG
• Prior experience working with 3rd party APIs like Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet
• Experience building apps with health-tech systems, like Electronic Health Records (EHRs/Practice Management Systems).
