Role
Who you are
- 2+ years of experience as a high-performing builder in a fast-paced startup environment
- Familiarity with modern AI tools and frameworks (e.g., OpenAI, Llama, etc)
- Proven ability to go from zero to one—rapidly prototyping and delivering AI-driven features and systems
- Able to translate complex user needs into creative AI-driven features
- Comfortable 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
- Rapidly prototype, test, and ship AI-powered features that solve real problems for patients and care teams
- Optimize for speed-to-learning—working in tight loops to validate assumptions and improve outcomes
- Apply modern AI patterns (LLMs, embeddings, RAG, agents, fine-tuning, etc.) in creative, practical ways
- Collaborate closely with product, engineering, operations, and clinical stakeholders to align AI efforts with user needs
- 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
- 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
- Impact & Growth: Operates with increasing scope and autonomy; Senior engineer is not a stopping point. Seeks feedback, takes on new challenges, and continues to grow
- Technical Leadership: Drives technical design and direction. Leads design discussions, navigates trade-offs, and aligns the team around sound architectural decisions
- System Design: Designs scalable solutions for moderate to high-complexity problems. Balances technical, operational, and cross-functional considerations (e.g., operations, medical)
- Highly Autonomous Execution: Owns projects end-to-end. Balances priorities effectively, delivers on proposals, and follows through with consistent, high-quality execution
- Problem Solver: Thrives in ambiguous environments, able to deliver high quality products even amid chaos. Balances speed and quality, knowing when to cut corners and when to invest in long-term solutions
- Technical Excellence & Range: Demonstrates expertise in at least one core area (frontend, backend, infrastructure), while also comfortable flexing beyond their specialty as needed to support broader goals
- Cross-Functional Trust Builder: Sets clear expectations with non-technical partners and builds strong cross-functional trust. Aligns technical work with business and operational outcomes
- Growing Team Leadership: Mentors junior and mid-level engineers, participates in technical reviews, improves team workflows or tooling, and helps drive technical standards through the team
- Data-Driven Mindset: Able to select and implement metrics that drive meaningful operational improvements. Uses data to inform decisions and measure impact
- Bias for Action: Delivers value iteratively, avoiding over-engineering. Breaks down complex problems into shippable steps and balances planning with execution
