[Hiring] Senior AI Engineer @Emosapien

Role Description

As a Senior AI Engineer, you’ll help shape the intelligence behind our AI-powered therapy co-pilot platform. You’ll design, build, and improve the models that automate session documentation, deliver real-time therapeutic insights, and support patients beyond the therapy room.

• Build and refine AI models for automated session documentation (notes, treatment plans, insights) using speech, text, and structured data.
• Develop real-time recommendation systems that support clinicians during sessions with safe, contextual suggestions.
• Design patient-engagement models that provide personalized exercises, reminders, and emotional support between sessions.
• Own the full lifecycle of model development, from research and experimentation to evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.
• Work closely with engineering and product to integrate AI into features used daily by therapists and patients.
• Implement strong guardrails, privacy-first architecture, and explainable AI practices suitable for mental-health workflows (HIPAA-like expectations).
• Optimize inference performance, reliability, and accuracy for large-scale use.
• Stay across breakthroughs in LLMs, speech models, and therapeutic AI tools, and introduce the right innovations at the right time.

Qualifications

• Strong experience in building and deploying machine-learning systems (LLMs, NLP, speech models, recommendation systems).
• Solid software engineering background in Python and frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, or similar.
• Experience with cloud environments (AWS preferred), MLOps, and scalable model-serving pipelines.
• Understanding of data privacy, compliance, and secure handling of sensitive information (mental-health and healthcare environments require a privacy-first mindset).
• Familiarity with model evaluation, prompt optimization, safety testing, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
• Experience working with behavioral or healthcare data is a plus.

Requirements

• You enjoy solving meaningful problems that improve people’s wellbeing.
• You think beyond the model, how it behaves, how it fails, and how clinicians rely on it in real life.
• You’re comfortable working autonomously in a fast-growing early-stage environment.
• You communicate clearly and collaborate well across engineering, design, and clinical teams.
• You’re motivated by impact and enjoy shaping the foundations of a product and culture.

Benefits

• Mission-driven work – Every model you build helps reduce burnout for therapists and improves mental-health outcomes for patients.
• A product with depth – You’ll work across documentation automation, real-time insights, patient engagement, and remote-therapy optimization.
• Small team, massive impact – You’ll shape architecture, standards, and product direction from day one.
• Room to innovate – We actively encourage experimentation with new architectures, model types, safety frameworks, and LLM techniques.
• Autonomy with support – Clear outcomes without micromanagement.
• A human-centered AI philosophy – We design AI that supports clinicians rather than replacing them.
• Flexible remote-friendly environment – Work in a way that supports your creativity and wellbeing.
