Staff Software Engineer | Agentic Workflows

What You’ll Do
As a Staff Software Engineer at Machinify, you will lead the design and development of large-scale systems that bring cutting-edge AI into production to transform Payment Integrity and Audit solutions. You will:

• Lead development of document processing pipelines capable of annually handling hundreds of millions of documents, including medical records, claims, and benefits data.

• Design and implement agentic workflows that review and validate millions of healthcare claims per year, ensuring accuracy and payment integrity.

• Evolve our agentic ecosystem by driving innovation in prompt development lifecycle, optimal utilization of various flavors of multi-modal (text + vision) LLMs, context extraction, RAG, workflow orchestration frameworks, observability and logging, and explainability of LLM outputs.

• Collaborate across teams (Data Science, Data Engineering, and Product) to deliver robust, end-to-end AI-powered systems that automate complex workflows.

• Address critical infrastructure needs by tracking and reducing tech debt while strengthening system reliability and scalability.

• Mentor and guide engineers on best practices in designing production-grade AI systems, helping set technical direction for the team.
  

What You’ll Bring

• 6+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 2 years building agentic systems or AI-driven workflows in an enterprise setting.

• Strong programming expertise in Java and Python, with additional experience in Scala a significant plus.

• Experience designing and scaling large-scale, distributed systems and pipelines, ideally processing unstructured data such as documents or healthcare records.

• Proven ability to productionize AI/ML techniques (e.g., LLM prompt engineering, RAG, workflow automation, and agents) with a focus on reliability, observability, and explainability.

• Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana or similar) and passion for tracking metrics.

• Strong CS fundamentals, including data structures, asynchronous programming, and system design.

• Demonstrated success in reducing manual processes through automation, ideally in healthcare, fintech, or other regulated domains.

• Collaborative mindset with experience working closely with data scientists and cross-functional teams to translate requirements into technical designs and production systems.

• A passion for pushing the boundaries of AI to deliver better-than-human-level accuracy and efficiency at scale.
  

Technical Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

• Track record of building and shipping enterprise-grade AI/ML systems in production.

• Strong testing and code quality discipline, with experience contributing to and improving enterprise-grade systems.

• Experience with big-data tools and distributed systems frameworks (e.g., Spark, Flink, Kafka, Airflow, Ray) is a strong plus.
