Artera is hiring a Senior AI Builder to build the agentic systems that deliver exceptional patient experiences for our customers - scheduling, referral coordination, medication refills, billing, payment estimation and more. You'll be a fully contributing builder inside a customer-facing squad bringing AI-native fluency in delivering end-to-end on your customers’ needs - owning initiatives from customer discovery through production operation, onboarding new customers onto what you build, and shipping enhancements that keep pace with the technical possibilities for a named subset of our provider customers. Your creativity should be boundless, your
desire to deliver world class solutions unmatched, and your initiative and accountability to those outcomes as a new bar for our customers they themselves aspire to. At this level, you'll own customer outcomes independently , bringing the curiosity of a product manager, the discipline of a project manager, and the agentic fluency of an engineer to your work. You'll develop real subject-matter expertise and long term relationships with senior healthcare executives, and internally teach and support newer builders and experiment and advocate for novel agentic techniques that make every Artera customer even more successful.
Responsibilities
Ownership: Design, build and ship agentic features that handle real patient conversations end to end, from problem framing through production operation Strategy: Identify customer pain and create a roadmap for solving their problems. Program Management: Own the evaluation story for what you build: define what good looks like, build the harnesses and test cases yourself, and measure helpfulness and safety rather than asserting them. Agentic Development: Build novel solutions for named customers; translate their operational reality into technical solutions that you yourself architect and code with our internal agentic systems. Continuous Improvement: Contribute to our reusable foundations - shared agent patterns, evaluation tooling and internal libraries - so each new workflow is faster and safer to build than the last Move quickly on reversible decisions, and escalate with a proposed course of action when they are not AI-native: your work across all dimensions will be inherently reliant on AI-native tools primarily using the CLI; which means you will own a greater breadth and volume of responsibility than a typical technologist. Domain Expertise: Operate what you build: participate in on-call for your surfaces, investigate incidents to root cause, and eliminate recurring classes of failure rather than individual instances Mentorship: Raise the engineering bar around you: review others' work, mentor less experienced builders, and improve the team's testing and evaluation practices Leadership: Pick up problems in or next to your scope without waiting for permission, and stay with them through to resolution

Owning technical decisions across a portfolio of customers, beyond a single solution at a time & designing the architecture behind a solution before writing code Curiosity of a product manager and discipline of a project manager: asks "why" before "how," scopes and sequences work, communicates status, and lands the work. Factoring business needs, operating costs, and industry trends into technical tradeoff decisions Learning as much from what doesn't work as what does, and changing the approach because of it Demonstrated ability to raise the engineering bar around you: review others' work, mentor less experienced builders, and improve the team's testing and evaluation practices
Bonus Prior experience in healthcare technology, digital health, or patient-facing products. Hands-on experience building production agentic systems, RAG pipelines, or MCP-based tool integrations.

This role supports a federal-facing product and is considered essential to secure operations.

OUR APPROACH TO WORK LOCATION
At Artera, we believe the best work happens when people are truly connected. Our AI services model has shown what’s possible when small, focused teams move fast together - the speed of collaboration, pace of career growth, and quality of what we build can become stronger when teams share space. As we grow, we want every new teammate to feel part of an in-person community from day one.
That’s why we are focusing our U.S. hiring in three cities, where we are investing in offices and building strong local teams:
- Santa Barbara, CA (Our HQ)
- Seattle, WA
- Kansas City, KS/MO
Unless a role’s posting states otherwise, new U.S. roles are based in one of these three cities, and candidates should reside in (or be willing to relocate to) one of these areas. Each location follows an in-person schedule that reflects how our local teams work best; we’ll walk you through what to expect for your specific role and city during the interview process.
Focusing on offices and hiring in a few locations, rather than spreading thin across many cities, lets us invest deeply in each one so every team has real community, mentorship, and momentum in person.
