Senior Backend Engineer

About Asha Health

Asha Health helps medical practices launch their own AI clinics. We're backed by Y Combinator, General Catalyst, 186 Ventures, Reach Capital and many more. We recently raised an oversubscribed seed round from some of the best investors in Silicon Valley. Our team includes AI product leaders from companies like Google, physician executives from major health systems, and more.

About the Role

We're looking for a Software Engineer to join our engineering team (currently 5 teammates). We're looking for someone who is an all-rounder, but has particularly exceptional backend engineering skills.

Our ideal candidate has built AI agents at the orchestration layer level and leveraged clever engineering techniques to improve latency & reliability for complex workflows.

We pay well above market for the country's best talent and provide a number of excellent perks.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will have the opportunity to build state-of-the-art AI agents, and learn what it takes to build an industry-leading multimodal, multi-agent suite.

You'll wear many hats. Your responsibilities will fall into 3 categories:

AI Engineering

• Develop AI agents with a high bar for reliability and performance.
• Build SOTA LLM-powered tools for providers, practices, and patients.
• Architect our data annotation, fine tuning, and RLHF workflows.
• Live on the bleeding-edge ensuring that every week, we have the most cutting edge agents as the industry evolves.

Full-Stack Engineering (80% backend, 20% frontend)

• Lead the team in designing scalable architecture to support performant web applications.
• Develop features end-to-end for our web applications (Typescript, nodeJS, python etc).

Requirements

You do not need AI experience to apply to this role. While we prefer candidates that have some AI experience, we have hired engineers before that do not have any, but have demonstrated that they are very fast learners.

We prefer candidates who have worked as a founding engineer at an early stage startup (Seed or Preseed) or a Senior Software Engineer at a Series A or B startup.

Perks of Working at Asha Health

#1 Build cool stuff: work on the latest, cutting-edge tech (build frontier AI agents with technologies that evolve every 2 weeks).

#2 Surround yourself with top talent: our team includes senior AI product leaders from companies like Google, experienced physician executives, and top 1% engineering talent (the best of the best).

#3 Rocketship trajectory: we get more customer interest than we have time to onboard, it's a good problem to have :)

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled AI Engineer. You will have strong fundamentals in applied machine learning. You will have a passion for building and deploying production-grade AI solutions for enterprise clients. You will be a key technical expert and the face of our company. You will directly interface with customers to design, build, and deliver cutting-edge AI applications. This is a customer-facing role. It requires a balance of deep technical expertise and excellent communication skills.
