About Autonomize AI Autonomize AI is revolutionizing healthcare by streamlining knowledge workflows with AI. We reduce administrative burdens and elevate outcomes, empowering professionals to focus on what truly matters — improving lives. We're growing fast and looking for bold, driven teammates to join us. The Opportunity We're looking for a hands-on ML/LLM Engineer who’s excited to ship real-world applications — not just benchmarks. You’ll help us build and optimize AI-native systems that blend structured and unstructured data to power decisions in high-stakes domains. This is a mid to senior-level role for someone who’s ready to go deep on applied ML problems — from retrieval to routing to generation — and ship solutions that deliver impact. What you'll do

  • Own and optimize pipelines that combine classical ML and LLM-based systems (RAG, scoring, summarization, etc.)

  • Fine-tune and evaluate LLMs using both open-source and proprietary data

  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to build real-world applications in healthcare and biopharma

  • Implement retrieval strategies, prompt chaining, and inference orchestration for production use cases

  • Monitor and improve model quality, latency, explainability, and safety

  • Stay ahead of the curve in LLM evaluation, tuning, and agent-based architectures

Qualifications

  • 3–6 years of experience in applied ML, with at least 1–2 years working with LLMs

  • Strong Python skills and familiarity with ML/LLM frameworks (PyTorch, Transformers, LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.)

  • Comfort with embeddings, vector search, retrieval pipelines, and prompt tuning

  • Bias for experimentation, clarity, and pushing things into production — fast

  • Understanding of responsible AI practices, model evaluation, and observability

  • Experience in healthcare, compliance-sensitive data, or regulated environments What we offer

  • A chance to make a real impact in the future of healthcare

  • Autonomy, ownership, and the ability to chart your own growth path

  • Competitive compensation and benefits

  • 100% employer-paid health, vision, and dental insurance

  • Retirement plans (401k), disability insurance, employee assistance programs

How to Apply Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter to [email protected] explaining why you are the ideal candidate for this role. We are excited to meet someone who is eager to bring their skills, enthusiasm, and creativity to our team!
