Senior AI Engineer

About the Company

Redesign Health is a global venture builder that empowers founders to launch and scale transformative healthcare companies.  We help founders overcome the unique challenges of healthcare innovation with an ecosystem and suite of capabilities supporting ideation and diligence, commercial traction, and execution.  Since 2018, we have backed founders to launch more than 65 companies that have touched the lives of over 15 million patients and generated more than $1 billion in revenue. We believe we can create breakthrough innovations in global health technology through grit, technical excellence, and teamwork. We seek out builders who share our ambitious vision.

About the Job

We are seeking an ambitious, self-initiated, and product-minded Senior AI Engineer with a track record of AI excellence at top technology ventures to join our Engineering team. In this role, you will originate, lead, and deliver on critical, 0-to-1 AI projects across the company while maintaining the highest level of communicative and operational excellence in your relationships with your fellow leaders.

You will work closely with the Head of Technology at Redesign Health and will work hours overlapping with Eastern Time. You will participate in a hybrid work environment at the Redesign Health Bengaluru office.

What You’ll Do

Redefine how AI startups are built in healthcare. You will design and ship LLM-based technologies to unlock one of the world’s densest and highest-impact repositories of healthtech venture knowledge. You will constantly raise the bar on the level of technical sophistication that we embody and offer to our founders.

Architect the first AI-native healthcare venture builder. You will deeply understand the hardest parts of building global health technology ventures at scale and lead projects to supercharge our initiatives in areas from healthcare domain agentic deep research to LLM-led knowledge graph construction. 

Dream like an early startup engineer…but build with the institutional resources of an established player. You will build many (many) POCs, test hypotheses about the tools you build, and place informed bets about which problems need lower- or higher-fidelity solutions. You will be a walking, talking Center of AI Excellence and will credibly opine on what can be built, bought, or integrated.

What You’ll Need 

We value and actively seek exceptional talent from all backgrounds and experiences, recognizing that excellence takes many forms. While diverse journeys inspire us, we believe the most successful candidates for this role will share the following characteristics:

• You hold a graduate degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or a similar field from an IIT, or were in the top decile of your class at a major global university.

• You have spent 6+ years in a senior technical role at a major venture-backed startup. Bonus points if you have previously founded your own startup and built a product from 0-1, or have worked in an investment environment.

• You are an expert in Python (and relevant frameworks like asyncio, FastAPI, PyTorch) and in at least one agentic framework (e.g., LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK, autogen, Google ADK/A2A).

• You have a deep understanding of how LLMs work and have built multi-step agentic workflows more complicated than basic RAG.

• You have built stateful agentic workflows, MCPs, and LLM tool hooks; bonus points if you have a pre-LLM background in knowledge graphs and semantic search.

• You are proficient in and have built apps on the modern data stack, for example AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Flask, Pydantic, Pytorch, Tensorflow, LangChain, Scikit-Learn, Pandas, and others.

• LLMs are a crucial part of your development environment and you have customized and optimized your AI-enabled development workflow, for example via .clinerules or agents.md.

• You have outstanding communication skills and executive presence, enabling you to work effectively across a distributed team.

• Technology is one of your passions, but you find deep meaning in some other pursuit to which you’ve devoted your time, thought, and effort; for example a creative or athletic outlet or a family business.

Who You Are

This role will be a great fit if the following deeply resonates:

• You are a relentless, startup-native technologist with a high tolerance for ambiguity and an even higher speed of execution.

• You are a systems thinker whose happy place is imagining new ways of capturing and capitalizing on data. Where others see dormant, siloed information, you see the potential for API integrations, beautiful visualizations, and delightful, automated workflows.

• You were working on AI projects years before LLMs became ubiquitous.

• You have an outstanding executive presence and can skillfully elicit critical information about what to build. You help nontechnical leaders understand “the art of the possible” and they trust you because you deliver for them.

• You have thrived in a group of passionate, talented, diverse, and low-ego individuals because these kinds of people love working with you.

• You abhor the phrase “that’s not my job” because you take extreme ownership of your outcomes. No task is above, beneath, too easy, or too hard for you.

• You are deeply motivated to transform global healthcare and see technology as the true calling through which you can better the world.

• You are looking for something to commit deeply to. This role has an incredible growth potential alongside Redesign and its portfolio companies as we scale to be the world’s foremost healthtech venture builder. This role is not suitable for someone who has a side-hustle or part-time job.

• You have accomplished something that most people haven’t: whether you started a company, won an international academic award, performed music around the world, or overcame difficult circumstances to succeed, it is clear that you have dedicated your life to pursuing excellence in your craft.

It is rare to have an opportunity to truly, measurably change the world. We are so lucky to live in a time where all that stands between us and a lasting positive impact on billions of people is the right alchemy of passion, smarts, and hard work. We invite you to join us!
