Architect AI Training & Execution Harnesses: Design and build robust, scalable developer harnesses and evaluation pipelines (Evals) to fine-tune, evaluate, and deploy domain-specific AI models and agents safely and efficiently. Design & Systematize "AI Skills": Translate complex domain knowledge and proprietary business logic into structured, reusable toolsets, prompt frameworks, and APIs ("skills") that enable AI models to perform specialized engineering and business tasks. Mandatory Qualifications (The "Must-Haves"): Experience: 12+ years of software engineering experience with at least 3+ years operating at a Senior, Lead, or Staff level. Java Mastery: Deep expertise in Java (8/11/17+), including memory management, concurrency/multithreading, and JVM tuning.

PHISHING SCAM WARNING: ModMed is among several companies recently made aware of a phishing scam involving imposters posing as hiring managers recruiting via email, text and social media. The imposters are creating misleading email accounts, conducting remote "interviews," and making fake job offers in order to collect personal and financial information from unsuspecting individuals. Please be aware that no job offers will be made from ModMed without a formal interview process, and valid communications from our hiring team will come from our employees with a ModMed email address (first.lastname@modmed.com). Please check senders’ email addresses carefully. Additionally, ModMed will not ask you to purchase equipment or supplies as part of your onboarding process. If you are receiving communications as described above, please report them to the FTC website. It takes more than just a great product to modernize medicine. It takes a great team. Introduce yourself to our recruiters and we'll get in touch if there's a role that seems like a good match. The work we do makes a difference.
