Senior AI Developer – Agentic Healthcare Application
C the SignsC the Signs is a cancer prediction system that identifies patients at risk of cancer at the earliest, most curable stage
• Architecting and Implementing Agentic Workflows • Design Autonomous Loops: Build stateful control loops (Perception -> Reasoning -> Action) where agents can interpret clinical data, plan necessary checks, and generate risk assessments. • Conversational Agentic workflow: Chatbot style user experience powered by LLM • GCP Integration: Leverage Vertex AI for model serving and LLM models for reasoning, optimizing for long-context windows to process complex medical history. • RAG & Grounding: Implement "Enterprise Grounding" using Vertex AI Vector Search to ensure all agent outputs are strictly cited against official medical literature (e.g., medical research and guidelines). • Data & Tool Integration • Structured Data Access: Build robust Python tools (Function Calling) that allow agents to securely query BigQuery or other datastores for patient demographics and symptoms. • Security & Compliance: Ensure all AI operations comply with HIPAA/GDPR standards, implementing strict PII masking and data governance within the Google Cloud environment. • System Reliability: Deploy agents on Vertex AI, Cloud Run, or GKE, ensuring low-latency inference and high availability for clinical users. • Agent monitoring: implement effective product environment AI Agent execution monitoring and alert system to ensure SLA, safety and security compliance • Leadership & Strategy • Mentorship: Guide a team of engineers in MLOps best practices (CI/CD for models, evaluation pipelines). • Evaluation: Implement "LLM-as-a-Judge" frameworks to automatically test agent accuracy against "Golden Datasets" of clinical cases.
ZeroFox protects organizations from external threats across the public attack surface, and we're building AI into how the company itself operates, not just what it ships to customers. You'll be the person who makes that real. This is a broad, hands-on engineering role. You'll assess business unit workflows, identify where automation creates real leverage, and build the systems that deliver it, whether that's an agent, a custom tool, an integration, or something simpler. You'll also evaluate whether enterprise data is ready for AI consumption and build the access patterns that close the gap. You'll make the judgment on the right approach for each problem, build it, and see it through to production. Some internal tooling may inform customer-facing capabilities over time, so you'll navigate that boundary as it comes up. What you'll do - Assess business unit workflows and identify where automation, agents, or custom tooling create real leverage - Design and build agents for internal operations: orchestration, tool-calling patterns, escalation paths, and human-in-the-loop gates - Build custom internal tools, integrations, and infrastructure that support business operations across functions - Evaluate enterprise data systems for AI readiness: quality, accessibility, governance, and latency. Build the access patterns that make enterprise data usable by AI systems. - Define the AI application lifecycle for internally-built systems: how artifacts get verified, tested, deployed, and maintained. Establish quality gates between prototype and production. - Define and enforce AI governance practices: agent permissions, escalation paths, decision audit trails, behavioral monitoring, and the boundary between autonomous action and human oversight - Build and operate internal AI infrastructure: self-service capabilities, deployment guardrails, observability, and cost management - Build tools and interfaces that make AI capabilities accessible to non-technical teams, translating business problems into working systems they can use directly
