Job Description
## About Charta Health
In an industry where the focus should rightly be on delivering quality care to patients, healthcare providers remain burdened by the complexities of non-clinical operations. Charta is changing that.
We're building the operating system for modern healthcare organizations. Our AI platform streamlines critical workflows across revenue cycle, clinical operations, and administrative functions, helping providers and payers operate more efficiently and deliver better patient care. Backed by Bain Capital Ventures, Charta is on a mission to make every healthcare dollar accountable and every chart accurate, reimagining healthcare infrastructure from the ground up.
## About the Opportunity
As a Senior Forward Deployed AI Engineer at Charta Health, you will be at the forefront of deploying and customizing AI-powered solutions for our clients.

- Collaborate closely with healthcare clients to understand their workflows and identify opportunities to leverage AI and machine learning.
- Customize and deploy Charta Health's AI-driven platforms to address specific client needs.

- Explore and integrate a wide range of AI/ML technologies, adapting to the diverse needs of our clients.
- Provide technical expertise and support to clients, ensuring successful deployment and adoption of our solutions.
- Work closely with our internal engineering team to provide feedback and contribute to product development.
- Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in AI/ML and their applications in healthcare.
- Mentor and guide fellow engineers, sharing expertise in AI/ML, healthcare applications, and best practices to foster team growth and knowledge sharing.
- Contribute strategic ideas and technical insights to shape the product roadmap, leveraging client feedback and expertise in AI/ML advancements to drive innovation

- Experience with, or a demonstrated deep interest in, Large Language Models (LLMs) and prompt engineering.
- Adaptability and the ability to quickly learn and master new technologies and concepts.
- A priority on delivering business value over solving purely theoretical challenges.
- A desire to explore a wide range of technologies and problems, rather than specializing in one area.
- The ability to thrive in ambiguous environments and rapidly produce results.
- The ability to excel at breaking down complex projects into actionable steps.
- Resilience and resourcefulness, allowing you to overcome obstacles and find creative solutions.
- Ambition and a desire for a high-growth opportunity.
