[Hiring] AI Engineer @Savant Bio

Role Description

We’re hiring an AI Engineer to improve the quality and efficiency of Savant’s clinical data platform. This is a generalist applied-AI role for someone who can move fluidly between software engineering, data science, experimentation, and production operations.

You’ll study how changes throughout our pipeline affect system performance, then design and ship improvements. That may mean:

• Changing how we prompt or structure interactions with LLMs
• How we retrieve, rank, and assemble supporting information
• How workflows are decomposed and controlled
• How outputs are validated and repaired

If you’re excited by the challenge of making AI systems measurably better, enjoy following evidence across the entire stack, and want your experiments to become real product capabilities, we’d love to hear from you.

Savant is based in NYC, and this role is remote-eligible. Preference will be given to candidates able to come to work in NYC.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in applied machine learning, AI engineering, data science, or adjacent software engineering roles
• Excellent Python and SQL skills
• Hands-on experience building production applications with LLMs
• Experience designing experiments and interpreting noisy, multidimensional results
• Familiarity with LLM evaluation, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, or MLOps
• Strong software-engineering fundamentals and the ability to ship reliable production code
• Intellectual curiosity, sound judgment, and taste

Requirements

• Knowledge of statistical inference, experimental design, or human-in-the-loop evaluation
• Experience building evaluation platforms, experiment tooling, or model-observability systems
• Familiarity with information retrieval, search, ranking, entity resolution, or knowledge systems
• Experience with clinical data, medical terminology, or other healthcare data
• Familiarity with HIPAA, de-identification, or quality controls for high-stakes data
• Experience in an early-stage startup or small, fast-moving technical team

Benefits

• Base salary for this role will be determined during the interview process and will vary based on multiple factors, including but not limited to prior experience, relevant expertise, current business needs, and market conditions.
• The expected base salary for the role will generally be between $175,000 to $250,000 per year, with meaningful equity.
• The final salary offered may be outside this range based on individual circumstances and business and market conditions.
• Base salary if hired is only part of the total compensation package, which may also include other components such as discretionary bonuses and Company-sponsored benefit programs.
• This position is at-will and Savant reserves the right to modify base salary (as well as any other discretionary payment or compensation program) at any time, including for reasons related to individual performance and business and market conditions.
