Head of Artificial Intelligence

About the Role

Are you passionate about shaping the future of healthcare through cutting-edge AI? My client, a rapidly growing AI startup revolutionizing healthcare delivery, is seeking a dynamic Head of AI to lead and drive their innovative AI solutions. They're on a mission to empower healthcare providers by automating complex administrative tasks, minimizing misdiagnosis, and dramatically enhancing patient care and operational efficiency.

What You'll Own

As the Head of AI, you'll spearhead AI research, strategy, architecture, and implementation from the ground up. This role is highly hands-on—especially during the first year—as you build scalable, real-time AI solutions that seamlessly integrate into healthcare workflows.

• Collaborate directly with the CTO and co-founders to shape AI strategy and execution.
• Own AI development end-to-end, from initial research through deployment into production.
• Architect and optimize cutting-edge LLM integrations, prioritizing performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
• Drive AI-powered automation across electronic health records (EHR), voice assistants, and clinical decision support systems.
• Work closely with DevOps and cloud infrastructure partners to scale the AI platform effectively.
• Experiment, fine-tune, and optimize advanced LLM models (OpenAI, Together.ai, LLaMA).
• Identify and resolve AI and ML scalability bottlenecks in real-time environments.
• Recruit, build, and mentor a stellar team of AI engineers as the organization scales.
• Align AI capabilities strategically to accelerate business growth and revenue.

Who You Are

You're an innovative, entrepreneurial AI leader with a strong technical backbone, ready to take full ownership and drive immediate impact.

• Recognized expert in Generative AI (GenAI) with comprehensive experience across research, modeling, engineering, and production deployment.
• Prior founder, co-founder, or early-stage AI leader (sub-20 employees), comfortable navigating fast-paced, high-ownership environments.
• Proven track record designing, building, and deploying GenAI products end-to-end.
• Hands-on experience with LLMs, fine-tuning techniques, and AI/ML APIs such as OpenAI, Together.ai, or LLaMA.
• Strong backend and cloud infrastructure skills (Node.js, Python, Firestore DB, Google Cloud Platform).
• Experience optimizing performance and scalability of AI systems in production.
• Healthcare or EHR integration experience (Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth) is highly valued but not mandatory.

Tech Stack You'll Work With

• Databases: Firestore (Firebase)
• Backend: Node.js (server-side), Python (for healthcare integrations)
• Cloud Infrastructure: Google Cloud Platform
• AI & LLM Frameworks: OpenAI, Together.ai, LLaMA, and custom-built AI models
