Staff Software Engineer, AI Engineer
About The Position
Midi Health is the largest virtual care clinic for women in midlife navigating perimenopause, menopause, and other hormonal transitions. We combine expert clinicians, evidence-based protocols, and a modern technology platform to deliver care that has historically been underserved by the healthcare system. We're a fast-growing, mission-driven company building the infrastructure and products that define this new category of care. Hybrid by design. Two days a week in-office (Tuesday and Thursday) in Palo Alto or San Francisco. We believe high-trust teams are built in person and scaled remotely. AI-native engineering. We expect every engineer to be fluent with modern AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and similar) and to actively push the frontier of how we build software. Low-ego, high-curiosity. We approach disagreement with humility and technical rigor, not politics. We invest in each other's growth. Outcome-oriented. We move fast, own our work end-to-end, and balance speed with the durability that healthcare demands. You'll set the direction for how Midi builds with AI — across clinical workflows, patient experience, and operational intelligence. You'll own the architecture of our AI systems, the evaluation practices that keep them safe, and the standards that let every engineer at Midi ship AI features confidently. This is the role for someone who wants to define what AI engineering looks like in a modern healthcare company.
