Comfortable working in an early-stage environment where you'll help establish technical foundations, tooling, and best practices from the ground up. * Strong product judgement, including ability to distinguish between interesting ideas and high-ROI problems worth solving. * Demonstrated ability to understand complex workflows and translate them into product, technology, and process solutions. * Strong analytical orientation, with ability to define success metrics, use data to prioritize, and measure adoption and impact. * Low ego and high ownership - as ready to write documentation and fix what breaks as you are to design and architect the system. * Strong interpersonal and written/oral communication skills, including ability to run discovery with non-technical staff and translate technical constraints into plain language. Preferred Qualifications: * Experience building, deploying, or scaling technology-enabled solutions in complex or regulated environments. * Familiarity with Salesforce, Epic, or healthcare data (EHR, referral, or enrollment data). * Prior forward-deployed, embedded, or solutions engineering experience. ## Description * Support building a unified data and tooling layer on top of Habitat Health's existing infrastructure that AI tools can be built and deployed on cleanly and efficiently * Design, build, test, and ship production-grade AI tools, copilots, agents, and automations embedded in day-to-day work, owning each solution end-to-end from data layer through to interface. * Run structured evaluations against operational and clinical expectations, and debug failure modes before they reach users. * Maintain and improve what you build - monitor tools in production, fix what breaks, and write documentation that lets people use them without technical support. Workflow & Product Design * Embed with care and outreach teams, observe work as it happens, prototype solutions, support implementation, and drive adoption. * Map current-state clinical and operational workflows and redesign them - rethinking handoffs, decision points, and documentation, and combining AI and automation with the right operational changes rather than simply layering technology onto existing processes. * Identify and prioritize the highest-value opportunities to apply AI and technology, with a focus on efficiency, accelerating throughput and increasing quality of engagement and care. * Define and track success metrics, including adoption, throughput, cycle time, quality, administrative burden reduction, user satisfaction, and measurable business impact. * Partner closely with operations, technology & data, and legal & compliance to move quickly while maintaining quality, privacy, security, and regulatory standards., To help maintain a safe environment for our participants and team members, Habitat Health maintains vaccination and infection control policies applicable to certain roles and work locations.
