You'll collaborate across engineering, product, and data science teams to turn prototypes into production-grade systems that drive real-world clinical and operational outcomes.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
- Lead development of cloud-based Ruby on Rails applications that integrate AI/ML (GenAI, predictive models, NLP) capabilities using frameworks like LangChain.
- Build LLM-powered agents using modern agentic frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or CrewAI to enable advanced automation and reasoning capabilities in Mindoula's behavioral health technology platform.
- Collaborate with data scientists to turn models into robust, scalable APIs and user-facing tools within our Rails ecosystem.
- Design and implement web application features that enable care teams to engage members more effectively using AI-driven insights.
- Architect secure, performant backend services and relational databases in a HIPAA-compliant environment.
- Ensure robust DevOps, testing, and monitoring pipelines for AI features in production.
- Translate clinical, business, and user requirements into full-stack solutions, balancing speed, safety/governance, and sustainability.
- Establish processes for human-in-the-loop feedback, governance, and review cycles to ensure AI applications remain safe, ethical, and aligned with clinical, business, and user needs.
- Contribute to build vs. buy/license decisions by evaluating technology options, defining criteria, and advising on trade-offs for AI applications .
- Document development patterns, model interfaces, and deployment pipelines to support collaboration and continuity.
- Participate in agile ceremonies, sprint planning, and cross-functional brainstorms with product, clinical, and operations teams.
Education & Work Experience:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- 3+ years of professional experience building and maintaining Ruby on Rails applications, preferably in a cloud-native environment.
- Strong familiarity with Gen AI foundation models framework like LangChain, PostgreSQL, Redis, Sidekiq, and RESTful API design.
- Solid understanding of modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React) and front-end integration.
- Developed and integrated RESTful APIs to interact with AWS Bedrock foundation models (e.g., Claude, Meta), enabling AI-driven application features
- Familiarity with AWS (ECS, RDS, Bedrock, S3, Lambda) or comparable cloud environments.
Additional Requirements:
- Passion for delivering software that impacts real lives, especially for vulnerable or underserved populations.
- Experience integrating AI/ML models (e.g., GenAI, NLP, recommender systems) into web applications.
- Understanding of data security, user permissions, and audit trails in a healthcare or regulated setting.
- Strong git workflow, testing practices, and familiarity with CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, CircleCI).
