The Role
Our AI team builds applied AI products at Felix – LLM-powered experiences for patients, and the systems behind them that let a small team serve a growing patient base. As an Engineering Manager on the AI team, you will lead a team shipping AI into a regulated healthcare environment, where accuracy, safety and auditability matter as much as speed. You’ll be responsible for delivering on and helping define the AI roadmap, partnering closely with Product, CX, Clinical and Pharmacy to decide where AI creates real leverage.
You will
Lead and grow a team of engineers building AI-powered features and platform capabilities across the patient and operations experience
Define, build, and optimize the systems behind our AI products; evaluation, prompt and model management, retrieval, guardrails, and monitoring
Set the bar for how we measure AI quality, and build the evaluation practices that let us ship changes with confidence
Own the operational side of running AI in production: model upgrades, cost and latency tradeoffs, and the observability to catch degradation before patients do
Partner with Clinical, Pharmacy and CX teams to keep humans appropriately in the loop, and to make sure what we build holds up to clinical and regulatory scrutiny
Lead team ceremonies and planning alongside product
Brainstorm features and initiatives with product and designers, helping set and guide the AI roadmap
Take part in all engineering-related and business-related decisions, with the expectation that you’ll grow as a leader and engineer
Mentor and be mentored by other engineers
You have
3+ years as an engineering leader or manager
Hands-on experience shipping LLM-based or ML-driven products to production, not just prototypes
Real opinions about evaluation: how to measure quality, and how to avoid shipping on vibes
Strong judgement on where AI is the right tool
Leadership skills in unblocking and leading development teams
Clear communication around technical concepts and ability to collaborate with Product
Familiarity with evaluation, observability and experimentation tooling
Experience with both front-end and back-end technologies
Nice to have: experience in a regulated domain such as healthcare, fintech or insurance
Benefits
Full medical, dental and vision benefits
Maternity/paternity policy
4 weeks vacation (3 weeks anytime + 1 week during the holidays)
