Clinical AI Engineer

Who We Are

Healthcare needs a better rhythm: one that keeps care continuous and deeply human. Heidi is building an AI Care Partner that works alongside clinicians to make that possible.

We’re a team of doctors, engineers, designers, researchers, and creatives building tools that help clinicians stay focused on what matters most: their patients.

In just 18 months, Heidi has given back more than 18 million hours to healthcare professionals — supporting 73 million patient visits in 116 countries. Today, more than two million patient visits each week are powered by Heidi worldwide.

Backed by nearly $100 million in funding, we’re growing in the US, UK, Canada, and Europe, partnering with leading health systems including the NHS, Beth Israel Lahey Health, and Monash Health.

The Role

Working closely with the Product Lead, you will be an Engineer who operates at the intersection of core product development and clinical application.

This role requires formal medical training and real clinical experience. Your clinical background will directly inform how we design, evaluate, and ship AI features that support real-world care delivery. Experience working on clinical AI products is highly valued, as you’ll be shaping systems that must perform safely in production environments.

What you’ll do:

• Build end-to-end AI features: Architect and ship fullstack solutions (from React frontends to Python backend services) that leverage our voice AI and LLMs to automate clinical workflows.

• Operationalize Voice AI: Implement and fine-tune audio processing pipelines, ensuring our Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and LLM agents perform accurately in diverse, real-world medical environments.

• Bridge the gap between model and product: Translate complex feedback from clinicians into technical solutions, rapidly prototyping and deploying improvements to model behavior, prompting strategies, and audio handling.

• Optimise for real-time interaction: Tune fullstack performance to handle real-time audio streaming and token generation, minimizing latency so clinicians have a seamless conversational experience.

• Partner with implementation and clinical teams: Shorten the feedback loop by shipping critical integrations and feature requests from concept to production in days, not quarters.

What we're looking for:

• Mastery of Fullstack fundamentals: You are equally proficient in Python and modern frontend frameworks (React/TypeScript), capable of owning a feature from the database schema to the UI interaction.

• Medical degree with clinical experience, and ideally experience working on clinical AI products

• Applied AI & Voice fluency: You have a working knowledge of LLM integration (RAG, prompt engineering) and audio technologies (ASR, speech processing) and know how to build around their probabilistic nature.

• Pragmatic problem solving: You balance engineering purity with the need for speed; you know when to build a robust system and when to ship a tactical solution to unblock a customer.

• Cloud fluency (AWS or GCP): You can spin up your own infrastructure (containers, serverless functions) and manage CI/CD pipelines to get your code into the hands of users independently.

• Rigorous testing in production: You understand that "works on my machine" isn't enough; you implement observability and feedback loops to monitor how your AI features perform in the wild.

• Medical degree with clinical experience, and ideally experience working on clinical AI products
