Tech Lead AI Platform & Integrations Engineer

THE OPPORTUNITY THAT AWAITS YOU

We're partnering with a health-tech consultancy delivering agentic AI systems into production healthcare environments. These are real deployments where performance, reliability, compliance, and integration quality directly determine whether AI succeeds or fails.

We're looking for a Tech Lead AI Platform & Integrations Engineer to own the engineering foundation behind these systems — leading platform architecture, backend integrations, runtime reliability, and the technical direction of AI delivery.

This is a leadership role for someone who can go deep technically while driving execution across critical systems. If you want to shape how production AI actually works in healthcare, this is worth serious attention.

WHAT YOU WILL BE BUILDING

• Production-grade LLM agent runtimes built for scale, resilience, and secure execution
• Platform observability including logging, tracing, latency analysis, usage, and cost monitoring
• EHR integrations with systems such as OpenEMR, Epic, and other healthcare platforms
• Speech-to-text pipelines supporting clinical and operational workflows
• Shadow deployments, canary releases, rollback strategies, and production hardening controls
• Secure cloud environments supporting healthcare-grade compliance expectations
• Integration architecture connecting AI systems to real-world product workflows
• Technical standards, delivery priorities, and engineering direction for platform growth

OUR REQUIRED EXPERTISE

• 6+ years backend engineering experience (Python strongly preferred)
• Proven experience acting as a technical lead or owning architecture decisions
• Strong understanding of async runtimes, concurrency, and distributed systems
• Hands-on experience with LLM / agent frameworks in production environments
• Strong cloud engineering experience (GCP strongly preferred)
• Experience integrating third-party APIs such as EHR or speech-to-text platforms
• SRE-style thinking around resilience, monitoring, incident readiness, and scale
• Strong stakeholder communication and ability to lead through complexity
• Master's Degree or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or a related technical field

YOUR REWARD

• Lead the platform layer that turns agentic AI into dependable healthcare products.
• Your work will determine whether intelligent systems can integrate, scale, and operate safely in real clinical environments.
• Join a fast-moving environment with strategic ownership, complex engineering challenges, and meaningful influence across product and platform teams.
• This is an opportunity to lead production AI where execution matters more than hype.
• Remote working based out of Stellenbosch Western Cape
• Competitive salary + Perks
