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).
