# Founding AI Engineer

- **Company:** Convoy
- **Location:** Mount Pleasant Township, PA, United States
- **Salary:** $145,000 - $165,000
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Data Infrastructure, Large Language Models
- **Published:** November 2, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.juju.com/job/2_167708724

## About the Role

* You've shipped real AI in production - LLM-powered, agentic, tool-using systems serving real users. You've hit the hard parts (evals, latency, reliability, hallucination, cost) and shipped anyway.

 * You've been a founding or early engineer at a startup - or an exceptional engineer at a top company itching to build from zero. You move fast and own outcomes end to end.

 * You're fluent with data, and you've worked with messy, regulated, high-stakes data. Healthcare claims (837/835/834), clinical, or RCM experience is a real requirement here - you own the data foundation as well as the AI, and the AI is only as good as the data under it.

 * You're US-based and authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship, now or in the future.

## Description

You're our founding AI engineer - the person who owns the intelligence layer of the product. You'll design and ship the agentic systems that read our healthcare data, reason over it, call tools, and put decisions in front of finance and operations leaders: LLM orchestration, retrieval, tool-use contracts, evals, guardrails, and the inference stack. You'll also own the data foundation that makes the AI trustworthy - the messy, high-stakes healthcare data (claims, clinical, RCM) the models run on. No inherited stack, no playbook. A direct line to the CTO and your fingerprints on every decision that matters.
