Trusted by 1,000+ specialties, FQHCs, health systems, and federal agencies, Artera strengthens and protects and enhances patient relationships across every interaction - from intake and scheduling to referral management, post-visit care, and more.

    Applicants must be currently authorized and have the ability to provide proof of full-time, long-term authorization to work in the United States. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship or support visa transfers now or in the future.

    Artera is hiring a Senior AI Builder to build the agentic systems that deliver exceptional
    patient experiences for our customers — scheduling, referral coordination, medication
    refills, billing, payment estimation and more.
    You'll be a fully contributing builder inside a customer-facing squad bringing AI-native
    fluency in delivering end-to-end on your customers’ needs — owning initiatives from
    customer discovery through production operation, onboarding new customers onto what
    you build, and shipping enhancements that keep pace with the technical possibilities for
    a named subset of our provider customers. Your creativity should be boundless, your

    desire to deliver world class solutions unmatched, and your initiative and accountability
    to those outcomes as a new bar for our customers they themselves aspire to.
    At this level, you'll own customer outcomes independently , bringing the curiosity of a
    product manager, the discipline of a project manager, and the agentic fluency of an
    engineer to your work. You'll develop real subject-matter expertise and long term
    relationships with senior healthcare executives, and internally teach and support newer
    builders and experiment and advocate for novel agentic techniques that make every
    Artera customer even more successful.

    Responsibilities

    Ownership: Design, build and ship agentic features that handle real patient
    conversations end to end, from problem framing through production operation
    Strategy: Identify customer pain and create a roadmap for solving their
    problems.
    Program Management: Own the evaluation story for what you build: define what
    good looks like, build the harnesses and test cases yourself, and measure
    helpfulness and safety rather than asserting them.
    Agentic Development: Build novel solutions for named customers; translate
    their operational reality into technical solutions that you yourself architect and
    code with our internal agentic systems.
    Continuous Improvement: Contribute to our reusable foundations — shared
    agent patterns, evaluation tooling and internal libraries — so each new workflow
    is faster and safer to build than the last Move quickly on reversible decisions, and
    escalate with a proposed course of action when they are not
    AI-native: your work across all dimensions will be inherently reliant on AI-native
    tools primarily using the CLI; which means you will own a greater breadth and
    volume of responsibility than a typical technologist.
    Domain Expertise: Operate what you build: participate in on-call for your
    surfaces, investigate incidents to root cause, and eliminate recurring classes of
    failure rather than individual instances
    Mentorship: Raise the engineering bar around you: review others' work, mentor
    less experienced builders, and improve the team's testing and evaluation
    practices
    Leadership: Pick up problems in or next to your scope without waiting for
    permission, and stay with them through to resolution

    Requirements

    5+ years of professional software engineering, data science, machine learning,
    product management, product design, or technical project management
    experience, or equivalent demonstrated output.
    Owning technical decisions across a portfolio of customers, beyond a single
    solution at a time & designing the architecture behind a solution before writing
    code
    Track record of shipping solutions end-to-end that ran reliably in production,
    including the enhancements that followed.
    Owning technical decisions across a portfolio of customers, beyond a single
    solution at a time & designing the architecture behind a solution before writing
    code
    Curiosity of a product manager and discipline of a project manager: asks "why"
    before "how," scopes and sequences work, communicates status, and lands the
    work.
    Factoring business needs, operating costs, and industry trends into technical
    tradeoff decisions Learning as much from what doesn't work as what does, and
    changing the approach because of it
    Demonstrated ability to raise the engineering bar around you: review others'
    work, mentor less experienced builders, and improve the team's testing and
    evaluation practices

    Bonus

    Prior experience in healthcare technology, digital health, or patient-facing
    products.
    Hands-on experience building production agentic systems, RAG pipelines, or
    MCP-based tool integrations.
    Familiarity with HIPAA, HITRUST, or FedRAMP compliance considerations in
    builds.
    Experience with EHR integrations (Epic, athena, eClinicalWorks, NextGen) or call
    center / CCaaS integrations.
    Experience writing evals and quality benchmarks for LLM-driven systems.
    $162,000 - $220,000 a year
    Cash compensation for this role will depend on location and experience level. There is also equity and a variety of benefits that are offered.
    This role supports a federal-facing product and is considered essential to secure operations. Candidates must meet eligibility for a government background check and comply with organizational security policies and federal data protection standards. The position includes responsibilities related to secure access, incident response, and operational continuity. Ongoing training and adherence to compliance requirements will be required.

    OUR APPROACH TO WORK LOCATION

    At Artera, we believe the best work happens when people are truly connected. Our AI services model has shown what’s possible when small, focused teams move fast together — the speed of collaboration, pace of career growth, and quality of what we build can become stronger when teams share space. As we grow, we want every new teammate to feel part of an in-person community from day one.

    That’s why we are focusing our U.S. hiring in three cities, where we are investing in offices and building strong local teams:

    • Santa Barbara, CA (Our HQ)
    • Seattle, WA
    • Kansas City, KS/MO

    Unless a role’s posting states otherwise, new U.S. roles are based in one of these three cities, and candidates should reside in (or be willing to relocate to) one of these areas. Each location follows an in-person schedule that reflects how our local teams work best; we’ll walk you through what to expect for your specific role and city during the interview process.

    Focusing on offices and hiring in a few locations, rather than spreading thin across many cities, lets us invest deeply in each one so every team has real community, mentorship, and momentum in person.
