Available Positions

Arkus AI is on a mission to revolutionise precision medicine through intelligent, AI-powered technologies. We are building autonomous AI agents and a robust AI agent platform to support clinicians, researchers, and healthcare administrators in solving some of the most complex challenges in medicine.

We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer who combines deep AI/LLM expertise with strong back-end engineering skills. In this role, you’ll play a critical part in the development of both the AI agents and platform infrastructure for the demands of real-world healthcare applications.

What You’ll Do
  • Design, build, and deploy intelligent AI agents capable of autonomous task execution, reasoning, and interaction
  • Architect and develop the AI agent platform, including APIs, orchestration logic, memory systems, and tool integrations
  • Build and maintain robust back-end services, databases, and cloud infrastructure supporting real-time AI operations.
  • Implement LLM-driven capabilities using APIs or open-source models, enabling agents to interact with external systems and healthcare data.
  • Develop scalable, secure, and maintainable systems with a focus on performance, privacy, and compliance.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team-wide standards and practices.
  • Build and improve RESTful APIs.
  • Design and manage databases (SQL).
  • Write unit and integration tests.
  • Lead junior developers
What We’re Looking For
  • 6+ years of experience in software or AI engineering, with a track record of building production-grade AI and back-end systems
  • Deep understanding of LLMs, agent architectures, and frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGPT, or similar
  • Strong programming skills in Python for AI, and Node.js/TypeScript or similar for back-end development
  • Experience designing and deploying RESTful APIs, managing SQL/NoSQL databases, and working with event-driven architectures
  • Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and observability tools (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus)
  • Strong experience with vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Pinecone) and retrieval frameworks
  • Bonus: Experience in healthcare systems (e.g., FHIR, EHRs) or regulated environments (e.g., HIPAA/GDPR compliance)
  • Ability to balance hands-on coding with system design and architectural planning
  • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
Why Join Arkus AI?
  • Help shape the future of AI agents in healthcare.
  • Work on cutting-edge problems at the intersection of AI and system engineering.
  • Join a fast-moving, mission-driven team with real clinical impact
  • Competitive salary, equity, and hybrid work flexibility
