✨ AI Insights & Summary
This remote AI Engineer role at Dexter Health offers a compelling opportunity to be at the forefront of AI innovation within the healthcare sector. You'll play a crucial hands-on role in transforming ambitious product ideas into production-ready AI features, directly contributing to the company's mission of reducing administrative burdens for caregivers. If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-trust startup environment and are eager to make a tangible impact using cutting-edge AI development tools daily, this position is an exceptional choice.
About Dexter Health
At Dexter Health, we build AI-powered software designed to alleviate the administrative workload in healthcare. Our core mission is to empower caregivers by freeing up their time to focus more on patient care.
About the Role
We are seeking a highly motivated and independent AI Engineer to accelerate the development of new AI features and enhance the performance of existing AI workflows. This is a practical, hands-on engineering position focused on building and shipping AI products, rather than pure research or prompt engineering. You will collaborate closely with product and engineering teams, taking significant ownership of your work. The role demands comfort with rapid iteration, making critical technical decisions in ambiguous situations, and daily utilization of AI development tools.
Responsibilities
As our AI Engineer, you will:
- Build new AI-powered product features from concept to production.
- Improve existing AI workflows for quality, reliability, latency, and user value.
- Design and implement LLM-based workflows, structured outputs, validation logic, and fallback behavior.
- Develop evaluation loops, tests, and quality checks for AI-generated outputs.
- Integrate AI capabilities into existing product and backend systems.
- Work with commercial and open-source LLMs without being tied to a specific provider.
- Support self-hosted model workflows where they offer advantages in quality, speed, cost, or control.
- Debug AI feature failures across inputs, outputs, data, backend logic, and user flows.
- Utilize AI development tools as a core part of your daily workflow.
- Ship features rapidly while maintaining high production quality.
Requirements
We prioritize speed, intelligence, ownership, and product impact over formal seniority. We seek individuals who operate with founder-like urgency, figure things out, make progress under ambiguity, and care deeply about outcomes.
Must-Haves:
- Strong software engineering skills, particularly in Python or a comparable backend language.
- Experience building AI-powered product features or LLM-based workflows.
- Ability to rapidly translate ambiguous product ideas into working software.
- A solid understanding of how to design, test, validate, and improve AI outputs.
- Experience integrating AI workflows into production systems.
- Strong debugging instincts across application logic, data, model outputs, and user-facing behavior.
- Experience with evaluation, testing, validation, or quality checks for AI-generated outputs.
- Serious, daily experience using AI development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, or similar.
- High intelligence, fast learning speed, a bias for action, and an ownership mindset.
- Comfort with ambiguity, rapid decision-making, and a high-trust startup environment.
- Clear written and spoken English communication skills.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience with frontend or full-stack product development.
- Experience with self-hosted LLMs, model serving, inference optimization, or similar systems.
- Experience with open-source LLMs and related deployment workflows.
- Experience improving the latency, cost, quality, or reliability of AI systems.
- Background in healthcare software, healthcare data, or regulated environments.
- Experience with structured data extraction, documentation automation, voice workflows, or workflow automation.
- German language skills.
- Knowledge of nursing homes or elderly care workflows.
This role is probably not for you if:
- You are primarily seeking an ML research role.
- You are a prompt engineer without strong coding skills.
- You need detailed specifications before making progress.
- You prefer slow, highly structured corporate environments.
- You are mainly looking for management, not hands-on building.
- You want to use AI tools only occasionally instead of as part of your daily workflow.
- You optimize for perfect process over fast, reliable execution.
Benefits
- Remote work.
- Fair compensation based on skills, experience, and location.
- Ownership of important backend systems.
- Work on software used in real healthcare workflows.
- Modern AI-native development workflow.
- Room to grow with the company.
Why Dexter Health?
Caregivers often spend excessive time on documentation, coordination, and administrative tasks. We develop technology to significantly reduce this burden. AI is fundamental to our product, but impactful AI features require more than just demonstrations. They necessitate strong engineering, rapid iteration, rigorous evaluation, production-level thinking, and deep ownership of user outcomes. If you are passionate about building AI product features that ship, improve real-world workflows, leverage AI tools daily, and take ownership within a fast-moving team, we encourage you to apply.
