• Design robust, scalable, and privacy-safe AI-backed systems, with a focus on RAG pipelines.

• Collaborate closely on architecture and deployment strategies with our Solution Architect and work hand-in-hand with the AI, UX, Product, and external engineering teams to bring innovative ideas to life.

• Proven experience with RAG systems and chatbot-like tools in real-world applications.

• Strong familiarity with AWS services including Lambda, API Gateway, CloudWatch, S3, and OpenSearch.

• Knowledge of various databases such as Aurora, DocumentDB, and Neptune.

• A deep understanding of privacy and data protection requirements with healthcare information in combination with AI
