Tali AI is one of the fastest growing startups in Canada with the mission to use AI and make healthcare more accessible. We are building the AI platform for clinical workflows: automating data collection, processing, and sharing in healthcare, so clinicians can focus on actual care. Our platform is used by thousands of clinicians in Canada and the US, operating across dozens of specialties and deeply integrated with the fragmented landscape of North American health records systems. The technical north star is an operating system for clinical workflows: a platform that healthcare teams configure to automate their data work.
Real-time audio pipelines where latency is felt and accuracy has clinical stakes
Integrations with a fragmented ecosystem of clinical software: health records, billing, scheduling, referral management, and more
A privacy and compliance posture that has to be right by design
We're moving fast in a market that rewards speed, and operating in a domain where breaking clinician trust is not recoverable.
We're hiring a Staff Engineer who reports to the VP Engineering and works on our highest-stakes, most ambiguous technical problems. You lead through your output, your judgment, and the quality of the standards you set.
You’ll work on projects that are strategically critical and don’t yet have a clear shape. You de-risk them, make the irreversible decisions visible, and drive them to completion. Our engineering spans:
Reliability engineering
AI infrastructure and platform engineering
GTM engineering
And you operate across whichever of these a given problem touches.



You’ll work with a small and growing team that ships daily, reasons clearly, and cares about the clinicians and patients on the other side of every decision.
You use it to take on problems that would otherwise require a team, and you build the architectural foundations (specs, conventions, standards) that let others on the team do the same. Proven Technical Leadership:
You've shipped complex systems from ambiguous starting points. You've made high-stakes architectural decisions under uncertainty and can articulate the tradeoffs clearly enough that others learn from them.
You use AI to decompose large problems, maintain coherence across that execution, and apply genuine architectural judgment to what comes out. On problems that need it, you can define scope, make prioritization calls, and connect technical choices to outcomes without waiting for a PM. You make people around you better through the quality of your decisions, the visibility of your reasoning, and the standards you set in code review and architecture discussions.
You've taken ownership of a critical project and are driving it to completion with minimal oversight. Engineers who've worked with you are making better architectural decisions on their own.
Projects you've led are the reference point for how we execute well.



You're shaping technical strategy and the VP Engineering trusts you to run point on anything.
