• The multi-modal communication layer, including our voice AI pipeline and asynchronous outreach channels
• EMR integration work, connecting Beni's intelligence to the clinical data that lives in practice systems (FHIR, HL7 and other applicable frameworks)
• Production reliability for AI outputs in a clinical context: evaluation frameworks, monitoring, and graceful failure handling
• Backend infrastructure that is scalable and provides the highest level of privacy and security
• Close AI native collaboration with the product team leveraging emerging technologies and workflows to accelerate shipping and deployment
• Code review, release process, and keeping dependencies patched across the services you own
• On-call rotation and incident response for production systems

Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical field
• Five or more years of professional software engineering experience, including at least two years building and operating AI or machine learning systems in production
• Hands-on production experience with LLM application development: orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation, tool use and function calling, and multi-step reasoning
• Strong backend fundamentals, including the design and operation of APIs, asynchronous and event-driven systems, and data pipelines in Python and/or TypeScript
• Experience deploying and operating services on a major cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including CI/CD, containerization, and infrastructure as code
• Demonstrated experience building systems that handle sensitive or regulated data, including encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access control, and audit logging

• Healthcare data and EMR integration experience: FHIR, HL7v2, and platforms such as Epic, athenahealth, or eClinicalWorks
• Working knowledge of HIPAA as it applies to engineering, and experience operating under a formal compliance program such as SOC 2 or HITRUST
• Real-time voice AI experience: speech recognition and synthesis, telephony (Twilio, LiveKit, SIP), and low-latency streaming pipelines
• Experience building evaluation and monitoring frameworks for non-deterministic model output
• Prior founding or lead engineer experience at an early-stage startup
• Cloud or security certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect, AWS Certified Security – Specialty, or CISSP
