[Hiring] Principal Engineer, Agentic AI @WebPT

Role Description

We are looking for a technical leader and subject matter expert in Agentic AI, responsible for defining the architectural goals and implementation strategies for our AI-driven workflows.

• Perform deep dives into clinical business needs—such as ambient listening, scheduling, and documentation—before selecting the appropriate LLM orchestration tools and strategies.
• Work closely with product managers and data scientists to translate complex business problems into scalable, agentic solutions that enhance clinical efficiency and the patient experience.

What You’ll Be Doing As A Part of Our Team

Architectural Strategy & Agentic Design

• Problem Decomposition: Excel at decomposing complex clinical workflows into discrete, reasoning-based AI agents, organizing the architectural strategies needed to implement them.
• Agentic Orchestration: Define the root business problems and use that knowledge to design integrated AI solutions (e.g., ambient listening for documentation or automated waitlist management) across multiple applications.
• Reference Architecture Alignment: Work with the company’s architecture team to ensure AI agents are built on shared services and systems, reducing waste and maintaining a cohesive software ecosystem.
• Innovation & Competitiveness: Set goals around emerging AI standards and agentic frameworks to keep the business competitive in the rapidly evolving AI-native EMR market.

Execution & Partnership

• Collaborative Leadership: Partner with internal Data Scientists and third-party AI engineers to drive project execution, serving as the technical anchor for the team during the staff augmentation phase and beyond.
• Agile AI Development: Apply agile and lean principles to AI development, timeboxing experiments and focusing on delivering immediate clinical value through iterative agent refinement.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Work with stakeholders outside of engineering to align AI capabilities with Product and UX goals, ensuring agents are streamlined and intuitive for healthcare providers.
• Documentation & Evangelism: Maintain strong documentation practices to evangelize new AI development patterns and gain adoption of agentic practices across the department.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, AI/ML, or a related technical field
• 10+ years of professional engineering experience, including significant time spent in a Principal Engineer or Lead Architect capacity
• Deep technical proficiency in designing multi-agent orchestration systems
• Hands-on experience with frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI)
• Proven ability to provide technical "anchor" leadership in a hybrid environment
• Expert-level ability to take a messy clinical workflow and decompose it into a structured data model and a sequence of AI-driven reasoning steps
• A track record of "Deep Dives" into complex business domains
• Experience moving AI from "prototype/notebook" to "production-grade"

Requirements

• Familiarity with clinical documentation standards, HIPAA compliance, and the nuances of EMR data sets
• High-level understanding of retrieval strategies (RAG) to support agentic reasoning and long-term memory
• Previous experience leading a hybrid team of internal and external resources

Culture is at our Core

• Service: Create Raving Fans
• Accountability: F Up; Own Up
• Attitude: Possess True Grit
• Personality: Be Minty
