Senior AI Engineer, Applied AI

WHY CLARIUM?

The healthcare industry overspends on its supply chain by over $25B each year, the result of fragmented data, inefficient workflows, and wasted supplies. Clarium is fixing that. Our AI-powered platform, Astra OS, gives hospitals end-to-end visibility into their supply chain operations, automating workflows and surfacing actionable insights so supply chain teams can focus on what matters most: patient care. We're trusted by some of the world's leading health systems, including Yale New Haven Health, Stanford, Geisinger, and Kaiser Permanente.

Founded in 2020, Clarium has raised $43M in total funding. Our Series A was led by Northzone, with participation from General Catalyst, AlleyCorp, Kaiser Permanente Ventures, Texas Medical Center Ventures, and 1984 Ventures.

• Design and build scalable backend services in Python and FastAPI
• Take full ownership of critical system components from REST APIs to AI agent implementation
• Collaborate with product managers and customers to ensure what you build maps directly to real-world healthcare workflows
• Participate actively in code reviews and sprint planning

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience
• 1+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying AI applications in production
• Solid understanding of backend architecture principles and AI application design
• Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs and integrating third-party services
• Strong command of database technologies (relational and/or NoSQL)
• Self-motivated, strong communicator, and a clear problem-solver

NICE TO HAVE

• Prior experience at an early-stage startup
• Familiarity with healthcare data or supply chain domains
