Flagship Agent: Up To Date Expert AI In Health, we’re launching Up To Date Expert AI —a medical research and clinical reasoning agent that transforms the world’s most widely used point‑of‑care knowledge resource into a real‑time medical assistant. Millions of physicians will rely on it to accelerate differential diagnosis, refine treatment decisions, and reduce cognitive load—while maintaining rigorous safety, privacy, and guideline fidelity. Improvements you ship (latency, reliability, hallucination reduction) will translate directly into faster, higher‑quality patient care at global scale. Tech stack You don’t need to know all of these on day one, but you should be ready to learn quickly. • Type Script, Node.js, React, Python, Lang Chain/Lang Graph, MCP/A2A, Rust • AWS (primary), Azure, GCP; Docker, Terraform, Git Hub Actions • Document DB, DynamoDB, Open Search, Azure AI Search • Azure OpenAI, AWS Anthropic, Google Gemini • Git Hub, Confluence, Slack What you’ll do • Design and implement full‑stack applications, AI agents, and platform components that enable rapid GenAI agent development, validation, and deployment. • Build developer tooling, CI/CD, and observability for safe, fast iteration (evals, canaries, rollout/rollback, cost and quality telemetry). • Apply secure SDLC and privacy‑by‑design practices (threat modeling, least privilege). • Collaborate with product, UX, and domain experts to deliver customer‑focused solutions with measurable outcomes. • Apply current LLM patterns (RAG, retrieval, routing, tool‑use, evals) to deliver measurable customer value—faster, more reliable AI systems; reduced time‑to‑decision; improved trust/safety metrics; and lower cost per query. • Lead by example through writing high‑quality, maintainable code that demonstrates engineering craftsmanship.
