OVERVIEW OF THE ROLE:
We are seeking experienced AI Engineers to support a public sector healthcare initiative, delivering production-grade AI solutions in a highly regulated environment. This role focuses on real-world impact, building systems that operate within strict privacy, security, and governance frameworks.
This is not a research role—you will be responsible for deploying and operationalizing AI in production within an enterprise Azure ecosystem.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING IN THE ROLE:
• Design, build, and deploy production AI/ML solutions in Azure
• Work with Azure ML / Azure AI services across the full lifecycle (training, deployment, monitoring, retraining)
• Integrate models into secure enterprise systems (APIs, backend services, data pipelines)
• Handle healthcare and regulated data, ensuring compliance with privacy and security standards
• Collaborate with data engineers on large-scale data platforms (e.g., Databricks, ETL pipelines)
• Implement responsible AI practices, including explainability, bias mitigation, and auditability
• Work within public sector delivery structures, engaging with architects, developers, and non-technical stakeholders
WHAT SKILLS / QUALIFICATIONS YOU’LL NEED TO DO THE JOB:
• Proven experience delivering AI/ML solutions in production environments
• Hands-on experience with Azure ML / Azure AI (strongly preferred)
• Experience working with regulated data environments (healthcare, government, or similar)
• Strong understanding of model deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management
• Experience integrating AI into operational systems, not just building models
• Ability to work in structured, compliance-driven environments
Nice to Have
• Experience with clinical/NLP data or healthcare analytics
• Familiarity with FHIR and healthcare interoperability standards
• Exposure to population health, risk modeling, or patient outcomes use cases
• Experience implementing GenAI/LLM solutions in secure enterprise environments
