Role Description
We are seeking an AI Engineer to own the technical operation and continuous improvement of Nsight's AI phone agents — the automated voice systems handling outbound and inbound patient calls across RPM and care management programs. This is not a passive vendor oversight role. You will be the hands-on operator of the system: fluent in the provider's UI, API, and webhook integrations, holding them to quality and HIPAA compliance standards, and driving measurable improvement in clinical voice interaction outcomes.
Reporting to the VP of Engineering, you will work closely with the EVP of Patient Experience and the R&D team to:
Configure and tune AI phone agents
Build PHI-safe audio processing pipelines
Architect quality intelligence systems
Automate downstream action on detected failures
This role operates inside an organization that runs at an AI-to-human engineering output ratio most teams haven't attempted. AI agents are first-class contributors to the pipeline here. You are expected to build and operate within that model from day one.
AI Fluency Requirement - Non-Negotiable
Nsight Health is an AI-first organization. Every member of our leadership and operations team is expected to actively use AI tools in their day-to-day work - not as a novelty, but as a core productivity multiplier. This role requires genuine curiosity about AI, comfort experimenting with tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and workflow automation platforms, and the judgment to know when AI helps and when it doesn't.
If AI makes you uncomfortable, this is not the right role.
Key Responsibilities
Vendor & Provider Management:
Serve as the technical liaison between Nsight and the IVA provider
Translate clinical and operational requirements into clear direction for the provider
Manage day-to-day performance against quality and HIPAA compliance standards
Define acceptance criteria and build layered test harnesses for all provider releases
AI Phone Agent Configuration & Optimization:
Rapidly become an expert in the provider platform
Configure and tune AI phone agents to meet clinical and operational goals
Actively influence the provider's NLU engine design
Alerting & Quality Intelligence:
Build and own the alerting layer
Continuously scrape provider data and classify failure patterns
Architect AI-driven quality intelligence pipelines
PHI-Safe Pipeline & Compliance:
Build PHI-safe audio processing pipelines using local speech-to-text
Maintain HIPAA-compliant data handling across all AI pipelines
AI-Native Tooling:
Build the tooling the work requires — semantic search, vectorized data processing, etc.
The Impact You’ll Make
Patient Experience at Scale:
The AI phone agents you configure and optimize are the first touchpoint for thousands of Medicare patients across 350+ clinics
Compliance by Design:
By building PHI-safe pipelines and holding the provider to documented HIPAA standards, you protect both patients and the organization
AI Operations Pioneer:
You will define what production-grade AI voice operations looks like in a regulated healthcare environment
