Lead Software Engineer, AI Applications

Being sick or injured is painful. Getting better shouldn’t be.

Most industries have been transformed by new technology. Healthcare is still waiting — and you can help change that.

Our mission is simple but ambitious: make healthcare accessible, transparent, and effortless for all. We put the consumer at the center, move fast and partner with forward-thinking providers to deliver software that makes care better, faster, and more human. This is work with real-world stakes — and you can help lead the way.

As a key member of our engineering team, you’ll design and build systems that directly impact people’s lives. You’ll tackle complex, high-scale challenges in an industry that desperately needs innovation, using technology to reimagine the patient experience from the ground up.

Solv Health is seeking an experienced engineering leader to architect and build the core infrastructure powering our suite of AI/LLM applications. You will help define best practices around model evaluation, monitoring, testing, and deployment, ensuring our AI services run reliably at scale and deliver measurable value to patients and providers.
