About the role

About Us

We’re on a mission to transform pharma services — the backbone of how new therapies reach patients. Vitalis is a Series A company backed by Kleiner Perkins and other leading Tier 1 VCs / angels across both AI / technology as well as Healthcare.

Vitalis is currently fully remote, but we foresee being hybrid in the near future and will ask employees to come in 3 days a week to an office in NYC or San Francisco. Even when hybrid, we will maintain a commitment to flexibility.

What You’ll Do

  • Work directly with non-technical specialists to understand their work deeply enough to know what should be automated, what should stay human, and where that line sits
  • Design and implement agentic workflows for real, complex tasks
  • Design the AI infrastructure behind the platform, including evaluations, compute (GPU/CPU), DevOps, and model and eval cost tradeoffs
  • Build the integrations that connect agents to existing systems — often legacy software with messy APIs, or none at all
  • Map acquired companies' workflows alongside non-technical users and turn their pain points into reusable platform capabilities, not one-off tools
  • Act as a "shadow CTO" for acquired companies and join the COO on technical due diligence for new acquisitions

What We’re Looking For

  • 6+ years of professional software development experience shipping products to customers where reliability is critical
  • Hands on experience building and shipping complex gen AI products
  • Strong familiarity with LLMs and agentic research
  • Experience monitoring product usage and working closely with users to increase satisfaction
  • Customer first mindset - you understand a product is only as good as it improves our customers’ experience

Nice to Have

  • Experience designing for highly specialized non-technical users
  • A background in operations or services businesses
  • Experience with adaptive memory or personalization systems
