You’ll spend meaningful time designing, writing, reviewing, and operating production code for customer-facing AI capabilities. You’ll also help the wider engineering organization adopt the patterns that make those capabilities reliable, safe, observable, and cost-effective.This is a hands-on, senior individual contributor role for an engineer who has spent the last few years actively building AI into real products—not just experimenting with models or defining high-level standards. You’ll have direct ownership of a high-impact product area while serving as a technical leader to influence how AI is built and scaled across Maple.You responsibilitiesAs a Staff AI Engineer, you will: Own a meaningful AI product area from problem discovery and technical design through implementation, launch, monitoring, and iterationPartner with Product and Design to understand user needs, identify where AI creates real value, and turn ambiguous problems into simple, useful experiencesDesign and build production AI systems using LLMs, agents, retrieval, tool calling, workflow orchestration, and human-in-the-loop patterns where appropriateWrite production code, review designs and pull requests, debug difficult issues, and participate in operational ownership after launchEstablish practical evaluation and monitoring approaches that measure product quality, safety, reliability, latency,



and costWork with Platform Engineering to make the right decisions about shared services, model providers, infrastructure, and ownership boundariesHelp teams make sound trade-offs across user experience, clinical quality, privacy, security, reliability, and AI unit economicsTurn successful product implementations into reusable patterns that help other squads move faster and more safelyMentor engineers and raise the technical bar through collaboration, design reviews, documentation, and example-settingPartner with Security, Privacy, Legal, and Clinical stakeholders on responsible handling of PHI and secure deployment of AI capabilitiesCommunicate technical decisions and product trade-offs clearly to engineers, product leaders, executives, and cross-functional partners What success looks likeIn your first 90 days, you’ll build context on Maple’s product, users, AI capabilities, and engineering environment. You’ll partner with a product squad to ship or materially advance one meaningful AI capability, establish a pragmatic evaluation and monitoring baseline for it, and build strong working relationships with Product, Design, Platform, Security, Privacy, and clinical partners. You’ll also identify opportunities to turn what you learn into reusable engineering patternsOver your first 12–18 months,you’ll demonstrate measurable product or workflow impact from the capability you helped ship and improve its quality, safety, reliability, latency, and cost through production learning. You’ll help multiple squads ship AI features that meet Maple’s standards for product quality, safety, observability, and cost. You’ll establish reusable approaches to evaluation, agent execution, monitoring, and operational readiness while staying close to users and product outcomes as your leverage increases across the organization.What you bring 8+ years of experience building and operating production software,
