[Hiring] AI Engineer @Bask Health

Role Description

We're looking for an AI Engineer, Merchant Copilots to build intelligent, reliable, and useful AI-powered assistants for Bask Health's merchant-facing platform. As the platform grows, we want to make these capabilities easier to access and use. You'll help build AI copilots that allow merchants to interact with platform information, understand complex workflows, and complete supported tasks through natural language and intelligent assistance.

This is a hands-on engineering role that combines large language models, backend development, tool calling, application integrations, and product engineering. You'll work with model APIs, retrieval systems, internal services, and structured business data to develop AI experiences that are deeply integrated into Bask's applications.

Your work may include:

• Conversational merchant assistants
• AI-powered platform navigation
• Business information retrieval
• Configuration guidance
• Operational summaries
• Automation for repetitive administrative tasks

You'll collaborate with product managers, backend engineers, frontend engineers, and applied AI specialists to understand merchant needs and turn those needs into reliable software features. You'll contribute to technical design, develop production code, test AI behavior, and improve systems based on real user feedback.

Because merchant copilots may interact with business information and platform configuration, you'll need to design appropriate permissions, confirmation steps, and safeguards. AI assistants should help merchants complete authorized tasks without making unapproved changes or exposing information from other merchant accounts.

We're looking for an engineer who enjoys building useful AI products, understands how to connect language models to real application functionality, and can turn complex merchant workflows into intuitive software experiences.
