Agent Engineer

About Amigo

Amigo builds AI agents that deliver healthcare autonomously—AI doctors, AI nurses, and AI care coordinators. Our agents handle clinical workflows and patient engagement across the entire patient journey: pre-visit intake, triage, care navigation, post-visit care plans, side effect management, and medication adherence. Context-aware with memory across sessions and the ability to take clinical action.

We own outcomes, not just delivery. For our customers, we're responsible for agent performance: clinical safety, continuous improvement, measurable patient outcomes. Agents operate autonomously within bounded clinical domains, with clear scope and handoff protocols. That scope expands as we validate performance across populations.

We're fresh off our Series A from Tier 1 investors like General Catalyst, GSV Ventures, SVA, and CohoVC. Our work is validated with leading academic medical institutions. We're currently reaching 1M+ patient interactions every 90 days, and are on track to 10x this year.

About this role

As an Agent Engineer at Amigo, you'll implement production AI agents using our architecture and verification framework. You'll work directly with clinical teams and enterprise customers to build agents that handle complex, specialized services with measurable reliability. This role requires strong technical implementation skills combined with the ability to translate domain expertise into working systems that maintain perfect compliance in regulated environments.

What you'll do

• Implement context graphs that enable agents to select the right reasoning mode (lookup, pattern recognition, exploration) based on problem complexity

• Build and optimize agent configurations, including static personas, dynamic behaviors, and functional memory systems

• Design bounded Operational Patient Domains (OPDs) with explicit inclusions, exclusions, capabilities, and escalation rules

• Implement verification loops and simulation-based testing to validate agent performance against customer KPIs

• Write Python code for tool integrations and API orchestration within customer environments

• Build evaluation suites that gate deployments using customer-specific success metrics

• Collaborate with domain experts through structured interviews to capture reasoning patterns and clinical protocols

• Support technical power users through git-based workflows for rapid iteration

• Implement adversarial testing to systematically identify and prevent failure modes

• Ensure agents maintain audit-ready provenance with version pinning and evidence links

• Contribute to systematizing implementation patterns across different problem domains

What we're looking for

• 2+ years of production software engineering experience

• Strong Python skills including proper use of typing, and experience building highly reliable systems that interact with external APIs (schema design, retry strategies, error propagation)

• Experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, and building on AI platforms

• Ability to implement systems with strict reliability requirements

• Understanding of testing and verification methodologies

• Experience working directly with customers or stakeholders to deliver technical solutions

• Familiarity with git workflows and collaborative development

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills for complex systems

• Ability to balance theoretical concepts with practical implementation constraints

• Clear technical communication for both engineering and non-technical audiences

Nice to have

• Experience in regulated industries (healthcare, finance, legal)

• Background with simulation, synthetic data, or evaluation frameworks

• Understanding of distributed systems and service-oriented architectures

• Experience with observability and monitoring in production environments

• Familiarity with compliance requirements (HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR)
