Who We Are

Shae Group develops precision-adaptive AI systems, including digital twins and clinical AI assistants, designed to elevate wellbeing and improve clinical decision-making. Our technology stack requires secure, scalable, multi-tenant infrastructure with white-label capabilities, strong privacy controls, rigorous observability, and safety-first engineering principles.

Who You Are

You are a senior-level architect and technical leader who has delivered cloud platforms and production-grade LLM/agent-based capabilities. You excel at designing multi-tenant architectures, secure ingestion and data pipelines, observability frameworks, and safety/guardrail systems for LLM-driven features. You guide engineers, strengthen reliability, and work autonomously with a high attention to detail.

Responsibilities

• Lead architectural vision across multi-tenant, white-label, observable platform infrastructure using IaC, SLO management, and reliability frameworks.

• Translate LLM/agent innovations into user-facing features, including RAG pipelines, intelligent agents, eval systems, caching strategies, and guardrails.

• Architect compliant, secure data flows (wearables → pipelines → insights) with privacy-by-design and audit-readiness.

• Coach engineering teams, write ADRs, produce architectural diagrams, and support production hardening.

Must-have qualifications

• 8+ years building cloud-based products, with 3+ years in Tech Lead/Architect roles delivering LLM/agent systems in production environments.

• Strong background in system design, API architectures, MLOps/CI-CD pipelines, security foundations, and observability practices.

• Ability to provide architectural artifacts (diagrams, ADRs) and demonstrate experience implementing safety and hardening measures for LLM features.

Nice-to-have

• Experience in healthtech, regulated data systems, voice interfaces, or vector database technologies.

• Familiarity with digital twin frameworks or clinical AI workflows.

Compensation & performance bonuses

Retainer: USD $1,500–$2,500 per month (depends on seniority and scope).
Performance incentive: Annual bonus awarded for consistent KPI over-performance.

Payment & contractor terms

Independent Contractor role. USD payments via Wise or bank deposit. Monthly retainer invoice schedule. Paid time off for exceptional performance.

How to apply

• Submit two architecture diagrams + a 1–2 page ADR from previous work, and include a Loom walkthrough explaining an LLM feature you hardened for production.

• Self-schedule a 16-minute prescreen one-way AI video interview.

• Complete a 3rd-party personality assessment.

• If shortlisted, a relevant technical assignment will follow.

• If successful, hiring manager interview within 24–48 hours — rapid offers for outstanding candidates.

• Fast interview pipeline for top-tier applicants.

Closing note

This role is for senior engineers who build secure, scalable applied-AI systems. Strong architectural artifacts and real production experience are essential.
