• Job type: Full Time
• Experience level: Lead
• Salary: Not specified
• Degree requirement: No Education Requirement
• Tech skills: Cloud
• Location requirements: Hybrid, Sao Paulo, Brazil

About the role

• Staff Software Engineer leading agentic AI implementation at Atria Health. Focused on technology workflows and cross-functional collaboration for innovative healthcare solutions.

Responsibilities

• Define the strategy and lead the implementation of emerging technologies across our Technology organization and Atria as a whole
• Identify the highest-leverage opportunities to apply agentic AI across Product, Design, and Engineering
• Architect and ship the systems that make those workflows faster and better
• Establish the measurement, evaluation, and security standards that let us scale confidently
• Apply agentic AI across Atria’s technology workflows
• Identify high-leverage opportunities, define where human oversight is required, and establish clear metrics proving improvements in speed, quality, and reliability
• Explore and drive high-impact applications of agentic AI across other parts of Atria
• Architect and build Atria’s internal platforms for agentic workflows
• Design reusable services, APIs, patterns, and interfaces that support AI-assisted workflows
• Create systems that can safely combine context across code, documentation, design files, collaboration tools, analytics, and other internal sources
• Define integration patterns that allow new workflows to be added without rebuilding core primitives every time
• Establish evaluation frameworks for agentic systems
• Define how output quality is measured and how systems are monitored over time for drift, regressions, and operational failures
• Instrument workflows with meaningful metrics tied to adoption, cycle time, review efficiency, quality, reliability, and user trust
• Define where agents can act autonomously, where human approval is required, and how those boundaries are enforced in tooling
• Create playbooks, standards, and training that help engineers, product managers, and designers adopt effective AI-assisted ways of working
• Serve as a trusted technical leader across teams, influencing direction through strong judgment, credibility, and hands-on execution
• Mentor engineers through design guidance, implementation partnership, and thoughtful code review

Requirements

• ~8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time as a senior or staff-level IC
• A track record of owning and shipping complex, cross-functional initiatives from idea through rollout and adoption
• Meaningful hands-on experience building with AI, LLM-powered, agentic, or workflow-automation systems in real environments
• Comfort operating in ambiguous domains and making strong decisions with clear tradeoffs
• Strong product judgment: you know how to choose problems worth solving, not just technologies worth exploring
• Deep experience using modern AI tooling as part of the software development process (AI-assisted coding, agentic workflows, automated debugging, code generation, and workflow automation)
• Strong full-stack engineering skills: you can design services and APIs, build user-facing interfaces, integrate third-party systems, and wire up telemetry and monitoring
• Deep familiarity with modern systems design, including reliability, observability, security, performance, and cost
• Deep experience with at least one cloud provider and infrastructure-as-code
• Practical understanding of patterns relevant to agentic systems
• Excellent debugging and incident-response skills; you are comfortable digging into logs, traces, analytics, and system behavior to understand what is actually happening
• Proven ability to lead through influence across multiple teams and disciplines without relying on formal authority
• Clear written and verbal communication; you can explain complex technical topics to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
• Comfort collaborating with clinicians, operations, research, product, and design partners in a high-context environment
• A pragmatic mindset that balances long-term architectural quality with iterative delivery and fast learning
• A strong instinct for measuring impact and changing direction when the data says a system is not creating enough value
• Nice to Have: Experience in healthcare, digital health, or other regulated domains (HIPAA, PHI, SOC 2, etc.).
• Nice to Have: Experience evaluating vendors and open-source tools and making sound build-vs-buy decisions
• Nice to Have: Experience extending AI-assisted workflows to paying customers

Benefits

• Excellent health and wellness benefits, 100% paid by Atria effective date of hire
• Flexible Time Off
• 401k contributions and 4% match starting after 6 months
• Opportunity to participate in continuing medical education programs for maintenance of Continued Medical Education and CEUs for professional licensure
