Armory Applied AI Engineer at Armory builds architected AI systems for US healthcare transactions. The role involves understanding customer needs and developing scalable components for healthcare infrastructure.

Responsibilities

As an Applied AI Engineer, you play two roles: a field product engineer who viscerally understands what customers actually need, and a systems builder who makes it real. You work across a tight-knit team of engineers, strategists, and business development, taking raw signal from the field and metabolizing it into what needs to be built, not one-off solutions, but components of an architected system. Every piece of code you ship compounds into the machine we're building for US healthcare.

Qualification

Strong engineering fundamentalsBias for leverageProduct senseClear communicator

Required

Strong engineering fundamentals: 2+ years building production software. You can architect a system, reason about how the pieces fit, and hold a clear line on engineering principles.
Bias for leverage: you like pulling a thread all the way and making hard things repeatable, so the next problem is easier than the last.
Product sense: you don't just build the ticket; you notice what the platform actually needs and build toward it.
Clear communicator: you explain technical decisions plainly, and you raise problems with the product or the plan early rather than working around them.
