About
the Role As Director of AI Engineering at Parachute Health, you will be a dedicated AI builder. This is a hands-on engineering role, not an advisory or program-management one: you will find the places where AI-native systems can remove operational waste, then personally design, build, and deploy them. You will write production code, wire up agentic systems, and be accountable for systems that are live and running across the organization. You will lead a small pod of 2-4 engineers that embeds with business functions across the company, ships AI-first solutions, and equips each team to maintain what you've built before moving on to the next opportunity. Your impact will be measured in throughput and leverage gained by those functions.
What you'll do Design, Build, Harden and Deploy End-to-End: Personally ship agentic solutions from scoping the problem and selecting the right tools through production code, orchestration layers, testing, and handoff to a maintained system. Own the AI Automation Roadmap: Within a transformation engagement, identify and prioritize automation opportunities within internal operations (supplier onboarding, clinician activation, sales, finance, and support) and sequence a roadmap of the highest-leverage builds. Lead the Pod as a Player-Coach: You are the first engineering hire of the AI transformation team. Directly manage a team of 2-4 engineers while staying hands-on in the work. Set the pace, hold the code quality bar, and model the velocity standard: days, not weeks. Turn Problems into Systems: Conduct discovery with internal teams, map current-state workflows, find the highest-leverage intervention points, and design, build, test and hip end-to-end AI-first processes. Scout the Tooling Frontier: Influence company-wide decisions on new models, orchestration frameworks, agent toolkits, and workflow platforms, and bring the right ones to Parachute's specific operational challenges.
