The Role:
As a Staff Machine Learning Engineer on the Frontier AI team at Ambience, you will tackle the most challenging model quality issues across our clinical AI products, including foundational coding models, adaptive scribing, voice agents, long-context chart understanding, and clinical reasoning. This role focuses on research direction, designing learning loops, and driving comprehensive improvements in model quality over time.
Ambience delivers advanced clinical AI solutions in real-world healthcare environments. The models that fuel our products operate under unique constraints, including proprietary ontologies, complex electronic health record (EHR) data, stringent compliance requirements, and clinician workflows where both latency and accuracy are critical. You will leverage your deep research instincts and engineering rigor to push the boundaries of what is possible.
Our engineering roles are hybrid, requiring in-office attendance at our San Francisco location three days a week.
