Continuously evaluate and improve agent performance, accuracy, and safety through structured experimentation and analytics.
Voice Automation & Infrastructure
Architect advanced IVR modernization strategies and intelligent voice workflows.
Optimize ASR (speech-to-text) and TTS (text-to-speech) systems to meet healthcare-grade accuracy and reliability standards.
Integrate conversational AI into enterprise contact center platforms and CPaaS environments.
Ensure seamless interoperability with EHR/EMR systems using healthcare standards such as FHIR and HL7.
Design scalable, fault-tolerant architectures supporting high-availability healthcare operations.
Healthcare AI & Compliance
Develop NLP pipelines for clinical document summarization, coding support, PHI detection, and structured data extraction.
Architect HIPAA-compliant AI systems with secure data handling, encryption, and role-based access controls.
Implement monitoring, observability, and analytics frameworks to measure operational efficiency and patient experience outcomes.
Maintain alignment with evolving healthcare AI regulatory and compliance requirements.
Platform & Developer Enablement
Contribute reusable AI templates that power no-code and low-code deployment models.
Build and maintain APIs and SDK integrations that allow enterprise customers to embed AI capabilities rapidly.
Collaborate cross-functionally with product, solution engineering, and co-creation teams to accelerate customer time-to-value.
Mentor junior engineers and define best practices for deploying Agentic AI in regulated industries.
Provide internal technical leadership on scalable AI architecture and deployment standards.
Required Qualifications
