Description
About Stem Health
Stem Health is reimagining the primary care experience for individuals who want a more thoughtful relationship with their health. Physician-led and membership-based, we combine medical excellence with the warmth of hospitality anchored in a beautifully designed flagship clinic at First Canadian Place, opening September 2026. Our care model is relationship-based, data-informed, and built on time, trust, and exceptional service.
Why This Role Matters
Healthcare is full of moments where important information gets buried, handoffs create friction,
teams repeat manual work, and members are left carrying the burden of coordination. At Stem
Health, we believe AI can help change that if it is applied thoughtfully.
This role is about building practical, trusted tools that help our teams work with more context,
speed, and confidence. You might help a clinician quickly understand a members health
journey, support a care coordinator in managing follow-ups, automate repetitive operational
workflows, improve internal knowledge access, or create intelligent tools that make the member
experience feel more seamless. You will be close to the work, close to the users, and close to
the mission.
This is not a research role focused on training foundation models. It is a product-minded
engineering role focused on applying modern AI capabilities to real problems in a healthcare
environment where privacy, reliability, safety, and trust are not optional.
What You Help Build
•You will design and ship AI-enabled products and workflows that support Stem Health's clinical,
operational, and member-facing teams. Examples of what you may work on include:
• Internal AI assistants that help teams find, summarize, and act on information more
efficiently.
• Tools that support care coordination, follow-up tracking, appointment preparation,
documentation, and member support.
• Knowledge systems that make Stem Health's clinical, operational, and service information
easier to access and apply.
• Workflow automations that reduce manual effort and improve consistency across the
member journey.
•AI-enabled applications that integrate with Stem Health systems, data sources, and
operating workflows.
• Evaluation, monitoring, and guardrail systems that ensure AI outputs are accurate, useful,
secure, and appropriate for healthcare use.
•You will help take ideas from rough problem statements to working prototypes, then into
production-quality tools that are used, measured, and improved over time.
How You will Work
This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, operations, and care delivery. You will
spend time understanding how Stem Health actually works: how members move through care,
how clinicians prepare and follow up, how operations teams coordinate activity, where
information lives, and where workflows can be improved.
From there, you will design and build practical solutions connecting AI capabilities to data,
systems, APIs, internal tools, and business processes. You will test what you build with real
users, refine it based on feedback, and help ensure it fits naturally into how teams work.
You will also help establish the patterns and standards for how Stem Health uses AI
responsibly: access controls, human oversight, monitoring, evaluation, documentation, and
privacy-aware design.
What Distinctive Looks Like
You will be successful in this role if the tools you build make Stem Health better at delivering
care. That means:
• Clinicians and care teams can access relevant context more quickly.
• Members experience more timely, personalized, and coordinated support.
• Operational workflows become simpler, faster, and more consistent.
• Internal knowledge becomes easier to find and apply.
• AI systems are trusted because they are well-tested, monitored, and appropriately
governed.
• New ideas move from concept to real-world use without getting stuck in endless
experimentation.
•We are looking for someone who cares about outcomes, not demos.
Qualifications & Experience
What you bring
• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, AI engineering, data engineering, solution
engineering, automation, or a related technical discipline.
• Strong programming skills, especially in Python.
• Experience building and deploying production software or internal tools used by real
teams.
• Experience working with APIs, databases, cloud environments, and system integrations.
•Hands-on experience with modern large language model platforms OpenAI, Anthropic
Claude, or similar.
• Familiarity with AI application patterns: retrieval-augmented generation, structured
outputs, tool calling, prompt design, workflow orchestration, and agentic systems.
• An understanding of what it takes to make AI applications reliable, observable, secure,
and maintainable in production.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-
technical stakeholders.
•You do not need to have worked in healthcare before, but you should be motivated by the
complexity and responsibility of building technology in a healthcare setting.
What will help you stand out
• Experience building AI assistants, copilots, agents, enterprise search, workflow
automations, or knowledge management tools.
• Experience with frameworks and tools such as LangGraph, n8n, Logic Apps, vector
databases, evaluation frameworks, observability platforms, or cloud AI services.
• Experience working with sensitive data, regulated environments, or healthcare-specific
platforms — EMRs/EHRs, CRMs, scheduling systems, or member/patient engagement
tools.
• Experience designing human-in-the-loop systems where AI supports professional
judgment rather than replacing it.
• Experience bringing early-stage products from prototype to real-world adoption in a
growing organization.
Ideal Candidate
You like building from zero to one. You are curious about how care is delivered and humble
enough to learn from the people doing the work. You are technical, but not technology-first
you start with the problem, the user, and the desired outcome.
You move quickly, but thoughtfully. You are comfortable with ambiguity, but you do not confuse
speed with recklessness. You know that in healthcare, trust is earned through quality, safety,
clarity, and follow-through. You are excited by the idea of helping define how AI should work
inside a modern healthcare company not in theory, but in practice.
Why Join Stem Health
• Help build the AI foundation of a physician-led, membership-based clinic at First
Canadian Place opening September 2026 at a moment when the model and the
technology are both being defined from scratch.
• Your work will directly shape how we coordinate care, how we use information, how our
teams spend their time, and how members experience Stem Health this is applied AI
with real clinical and human stakes.
• You will be close to the mission, close to the users, and close to the problems not
building in isolation from a back office.
• An early-stage opportunity to help establish the patterns, standards, and culture for how
AI is used responsibly inside a growing private healthcare organization.
• Interested but not sure you meet every requirement? We still want to hear from you. We
care about people who are thoughtful, curious, practical, and motivated to build things that
matter.
