About Novoflow

Novoflow is building AI Employees for medical clinics. We see two industry-breaking problems: over 400 EHRs, 1000s of vendors, and millions of patients all lacking interoperability across healthcare, and a trail of operational inefficiency following it. We’re building the scalable, reliable, and safe AI infrastructure that solves this problem.

With multi-year contracts secured and strong investor backing from YC advisors and top investors, we’re scaling our engineering fast to meet skyrocketing demand.

About the Role

We’re seeking an LLM engineer with hands-on experience in architecting strong prompting for agents. This role isn’t as much of a customer-by-customer prompt tuning, but rather building scalable AI infrastructure for our computer agents through context, prompting, and adjacent backend engineering. If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

  • Design custom prompt frameworks for our various core infrastructure agents.

  • Build smart context engineering. This will be a mix between backend work and smart system design.

  • Realistically, anything that touches an LLM is in your realm of design. How can we tackle safety, reliability, and latency at scale..

  • Technical Leadership: Drive technical decisions and architecture design, shaping the foundation of our solutions.

  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with co-founders and other team members to translate business vision into actionable project plans.

  • Ownership: Take full product ownership from ideation to launch, including integration into existing systems.

2-10 years of hands-on general engineering + context engineering experience.
