About the role
About Take2 AI
Take2 is an AI agents platform purpose-built for healthcare recruiting. Take2’s agent network automates the end-to-end recruiting process, from sourcing and screening to credential verification, scheduling, and onboarding.
We work with enterprise healthcare customers, including some of the largest health systems in the USA.
About The Role
Take2 AI is hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Applied AI with deep experience applying agentic AI solutions with multi-agent / RAG in production to design, build, and scale the AI systmes powering Take2's autonomous healthcare recruiting platform.
You'll own applied-AI work end-to-end — from prototyping and model selection through production reliability — as we scale from thousands to millions of candidate conversations.
This role is high-ownership, hands-on, highly technical, and perfect for someone who thrives in a startup environment, playing a key role from design through production with significant ownership over technical execution and direction.
What You’ll Do
- Design and build applied AI-powered features and agentic workflows — tweak systems, use RAG, build intra-agent networks & communication — and ship them to production
- Select, integrate, evaluate, and tune models for the right balance of quality, latency, cost, and reliability across voice AI pipelines (STT/TTS/VAD)
- Build evaluation, guardrail, and observability systems to ensure AI behavior is measurable and safe at scale
- Own the backend services and data/inference pipelines that serve applied-AI features in production
- Collaborate closely with product and founding engineering to rapidly prototype and deliver with significant ownership over technical direction
Location & Flexibility
We’re NYC-based and work hybrid (in-office Mon-Thu). We value in-person collaboration but also trust people to manage their time responsibly.

About Take2 AI
Take2 AI is building the future of healthcare recruiting through autonomous AI agents. Our platform automates the entire hiring process — from job posting to job offer — helping hospitals and health systems hire faster, reduce recruiting overhead, and fill critical clinical roles more quickly.
Our Mission
We're raising the bar for the healthcare industry in America. Our AI agents conduct thousands of candidate conversations each month, and we're scaling to millions. Beyond efficiency, we're expanding access — enabling candidates like single mothers juggling multiple jobs to interview after hours and be judged fairly, because our AI operates 24/7.
Our Culture
Take2 is a high-velocity, lean team where everyone's work directly impacts the bottom line. We move fast — we raised our $14M Series A from Human Capital (early Elon Musk backers) in just one month and are on track to hit Series B within a year. We're AI-native in how we work, encouraging the team to leverage cutting-edge tooling to move faster. Every team member has enormous ownership — not just over tasks, but over actual business outcomes.
Who We Are
Founded by Stanford MBA alums and backed by leading Healthcare VC investors and HR leaders from top 10 Health Systems, we're a ~22-person team growing rapidly. We believe in hiring people who are curious, high-velocity, and passionate about building something meaningful at the intersection of AI and healthcare.
