Role
Who you are
- Leadership & Influence: A recognized leader, respected for technical ability, direction-setting, and ability to navigate ambiguity. Leads cross-team initiatives and influences without authority across engineering, product, operations, and medical
- Technical Expertise: recognized as an expert in their domain area but able to operate effectively in other domains when needed
- Execution & Ownership: Owns high-impact, cross-system projects. Drives progress across a domain and ensures delivery on both technical and business outcomes
- Force Multiplier: Uplifts not only engineers but also PMs and designers. Leads by example to raise the bar across disciplines
- Communication & Alignment: Communicates clearly across technical and non-technical audiences. Aligns stakeholders even when goals and definitions are evolving; creates clarity from chaos
- Systems Thinking: Designs scalable solutions with a deep understanding of interconnected systems. Anticipates downstream effects and communicates complex dynamics clearly
- Business Impact: Deeply understands business and operational goals. Connects them to day-to-day technical work, ensuring alignment and measurable outcomes
- Player & Coach: Seamlessly shifts between strategy and execution — no problem too big or small. Equally effective leading execution (e.g., as a pod lead) or through deep technical contributions
- Analytical & Data-Driven: Extracts and analyzes data independently. Synthesizes KPIs and qualitative insights to inform decisions and improve products
- Growth-Oriented: Continuously seeks new challenges and growth. Acts as a multiplier for the team’s impact and helps shape the technical culture
- Bias for Action: Delivers value iteratively, avoiding over-engineering. Breaks down complex problems into shippable steps and balances planning with execution
- 5+ years of experience as a high-performing builder in a fast-paced startup environment
- Deep familiarity with modern AI tools and frameworks (e.g., OpenAI, Llama, vector DBs, fine tuning pipelines, etc)
- Proven ability to technically lead teams going from zero to one—rapidly prototyping and delivering AI-driven features and systems
- Able to translate complex user needs into creative AI-driven features
- Skilled evaluating model performance, designing feedback loops, and managing trade-offs between speed, quality, and risk
- Comfortable working across the stack; experience with Ruby on Rails or similar backend frameworks is a plus
- Experience working in iterative environments, with a bias toward shipping value early and often
- Passionate about building technology that improves care for individuals navigating chronic health and social challenges—including homelessness, severe mental illness, and substance use disorder
What the job involves
- Pair Team is looking for a builder to deliver value at the intersection of healthcare and artificial intelligence. In this role, you’ll focus on fast iteration—prototyping and launching zero-to-one AI-powered experiences that directly improve outcomes for patients and unlock scale for our care teams
- You’ll leverage your deep knowledge of AI models, tools, and best practices to design intelligent workflows, automate decision-making, and enhance user experience
- From LLM-integrated features to behind-the-scenes intelligent routing, you’ll be a key agent of Pair’s AI strategy—helping us learn quickly, ship responsibly, and deliver high-quality results even in ambiguous or high-risk environments
- Drive end-to-end development of mission-critical, AI-powered features that improve patient outcomes and operational efficiency
- Lead rapid prototyping efforts while also setting the foundation for scalable, maintainable AI systems
- Apply modern AI patterns (LLMs, embeddings, RAG, agents, fine-tuning, etc.) in creative, practical ways
- Build robust evaluation pipelines to ensure trust, safety, and real-world utility of every AI feature we ship
- Build robust evaluation pipelines and quality gates to ensure we ship AI features that are trustworthy and useful especially in high risk care delivery scenarios
- Set technical direction and mentor others on AI development best practices, experimentation frameworks, and production readiness
- This is a unique opportunity to build mission-critical AI in one of the most meaningful sectors—using cutting-edge tools to increase access to care for vulnerable populations
