Optura is healthcare’s AI orchestration platform. We help healthcare organizations transform disconnected AI pilots into a unified, enterprise-scale program that delivers measurable value. Our platform enables teams to design, execute, and monitor intelligent agents that drive automation, insights, and action, while providing the control and observability needed to scale safely. Built for real-world complexity, Optura supports multiple model providers, integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure, and offers both SaaS and self-hosted options. Our mission: revolutionize how healthcare deploys and operationalizes AI in production. We’re looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to design, build, and operate the core services that power Optura’s AI Platform. In this role, you will own systems end-to-end. From model and agent orchestration to routing, reliability, and observability. You will partner closely with product and application teams to deliver secure, scalable, HIPAA-aware services.
