ABOUT US

At Vida, we help people get better- and we're helping the healthcare system get better, too.

Vida is a virtual, personalized obesity care provider that uses evidence-based treatment to help patients manage obesity and related conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety and depression. Vida's team of Obesity Medicine-Certified Physicians, Registered Dietitians, Expert Coaches and Licensed Therapists takes a whole-person approach to care, helping people lose weight, reduce stress and improve their overall health.

By combining advanced technology with top-notch healthcare providers, Vida is breaking down the barriers that have historically kept people from getting the best care. It's trusted by Fortune 100 companies, major national payers and large providers to enable their employees to live their healthiest lives.

Vida's technology organization is rebuilding its data platform, with a strong emphasis on protecting patient data, governing how data can be shared, and enabling self-serve analytics. AI/ML are central to the future success of the product and business. This role takes a hands-on approach to ensuring the platform is built so these strategic capabilities can be added safely and quickly.

Responsibilities:

  • Contribute across the platform build: data ingestion, transformation, a canonical data model and entity resolution, an event backbone, configuration as code, and API and serving layers.
  • Strengthen DevOps and reliability: CI/CD, infrastructure as code, environment management, and observability across metrics, logs, traces, and service level objectives.
  • Partner with Security and IT: data classification and access control enforcement, secrets and key management, and controls aligned with HIPAA and HITRUST.
  • Lay the groundwork for the AI/ML platform: model serving and an inference gateway, feature and training data pipelines, model lifecycle (registry, evaluation, deployment, monitoring), and LLM integration with grounding and guardrails.
  • Keep protected health information inside controlled boundaries, favor in-VPC or local inference where required, and make sure that adding ML never opens a path for data to leak.
  • Work with existing team leads to continue raising the AI and ML fluency of the platform, security, and DevOps teams as you work alongside them, and set the patterns others will build on.
  • Additional responsibilities as needed.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's Degree at a minimum.
  • 7-10+ years of experience in building and scaling production-grade machine learning or AI systems.
  • Demonstrated experience as a generalist Software Engineer across backend, infrastructure, and data.
  • Substantial hands-on experience building and deploying AI/ML systems in production, including MLOps, model serving and inference infrastructure, feature and data pipelines, and integrating models into real applications.
  • Strong cloud experience, ideally on Google Cloud (Vertex AI, BigQuery, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL, GKE), with AWS or Azure equivalents also welcome.
  • DevOps and reliability skills: CI/CD, Terraform or a similar tool, containers and Kubernetes, and production observability.
  • Solid data engineering: SQL, pipeline tooling such as dbt, and data warehousing.
  • A security mindset and comfort working in a regulated environment with sensitive data. Familiarity with HIPAA or HITRUST is a plus.
  • Experience with LLM applications, including retrieval, evaluation, guardrails, and knowledge graphs.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and a bias for shipping. You can go deep in one area and still move fluidly across the stack.

Preferred:

  • Experience with entity resolution or master data management.
  • Experience in healthcare or another regulated data domain.
  • Experience with GraphQL or a federated serving layer.
  • Experience with privacy enhancing technologies.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
