ViyaMD is building a physician-grade clinical intelligence platform for legal, insurance, and healthcare teams. We analyze large, messy medical record sets and turn them into clinically accurate timelines, reasoning, and insights in minutes.
We’re hiring for two senior roles:
# Staff Software Engineer: Own core product and platform systems: medical record ingestion, document understanding pipelines, backend/data infrastructure, clinical workflow, and production reliability.
We’re looking for:
- 5–8+ years of software engineering experience
- Strong Python/Typescript/backend engineering skills
- Experience with distributed systems, data-intensive apps, or large-scale document processing
- Ability to own ambiguous problems from architecture through production
- Interest in healthcare, clinical data, legal-tech, or AI products
# Staff ML Engineer: Own how ViyaMD evaluates and improves its clinical AI: define eval metrics, run model/agent evaluations, improve prompts and workflows, and close the loop through better retrieval, agentic systems, and fine-tuned models.
We’re looking for:
- 5–8+ years of professional experience
- Strong hands-on AI/ML evaluation experience
- Experience with LLMs, RAG, agents, fine-tuning, or applied ML systems
- Fluency in Python
- Healthcare or clinical experience is a strong plus, but not required
We’re especially excited about people who want to set the technical bar, work close to real users and data, and build AI systems that must be accurate and trusted in high-stakes domains.
You'd work directly with our founding team, with real influence over how we build. Comp: competitive salary, meaningful early-stage equity, and benefits. Email me at hari AT viyamd.com, if you're interested.
