Who We Are Looking For:

Every day, Cambia's Applied AI Team is living our mission to make health care easier and lives better. We are looking for a senior technical leader responsible for designing, building, and productionizing AI applications that improve healthcare for Cambia members. This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you'll architect AI solutions, establish application engineering standards, and mentor teams while remaining deeply involved in writing production code. You'll work at the intersection of software engineering and AI, transforming prototypes and experimental models into robust, scalable applications that deliver real value. Working on top of Cambia's AI/ML platform, you'll collaborate with AI scientists, platform engineers, and product teams to build everything from GenAI-powered member experiences to intelligent automation systems. This role requires someone who can both ship production code and influence architecture decisions, who understands the full AI/ML development lifecycle, and who can translate complex technical concepts for diverse stakeholders. If you're a motivated and experienced AI Engineer looking to make a difference in healthcare, we'd love to hear from you! What You Bring to
