• Collaborate with developers, analysts, and SMEs to ensure seamless system integration.
• Implement bilingual support (English + Spanish) for provider‑facing interactions.

• Ensure HIPAA‑compliant design and secure handling of PHI.
• Document architecture, workflows, and operational guidelines for long‑term sustainability.
• Adhere to NDA requirements, and secure/VPN‑accessed environments.

• Hands‑on experience with OpenAI APIs and custom GPT development.
• Experience fine‑tuning LLMs for domain‑specific use cases.
• Knowledge of multilingual NLP/NLU;
  Spanish comprehension strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with ASR/TTS technologies.

• Strong experience in Python (preferred) and/or Node.js/JavaScript.
• Experience building RESTful integrations and working with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform).
• Knowledge of FHIR/HL7 or other healthcare interoperability standards.

• Understanding of Medicaid/Medicare processes, provider workflows, claims, and authorizations.
• Deep knowledge of HIPAA and secure data handling best practices.

• Previous experience implementing conversational AI in healthcare or provider portals.
• Experience in managed care or payer‑side systems.
• Experience with MLOps for deploying and monitoring AI models.
• Excellent communication skills for collaborating across technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

Your work will directly power more efficient provider support, reduce operational burden, and improve access to care for vulnerable populations.
