Senior AI Engineer

Senior (5 to 8 years)
Virta Health is pioneering a new standard of care for people to reclaim their lives. We are in the midst of a public health crisis: obesity rates are at an all-time high and over half of US adults have type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and despite billions spent on new treatments, outcomes are largely worse. Virta reverses these diseases and delivers life-changing results by pairing individualized nutrition with ongoing care from a clinical support team. We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and take back their lives.
As a Senior Software Engineer for AI & Automation on our AI Enablement Team, you will rapidly build impactful workflow and AI-driven product solutions from discovery to production readiness. You'll actively use cutting-edge AI tools including agents and LLMs to automate internal processes and enhance productivity. Working closely with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and stakeholders across diverse teams you'll autonomously craft solutions that reliably address real-world business challenges. This role is perfect for engineers motivated by tangible impact, autonomy, and continuous learning.
As an AI & Automation Engineer, you’ll embed with cross-functional teams to understand their most onerous manual processes, then prototype, deploy, and own automated solutions. In doing so you will provide invaluable feedback to our platform teams on gaps in our existing software delivery lifecycle.
Joining a new company and stepping into an impactful role takes time. Here’s what you can expect as you get started and begin making your mark:
Reverses type 2 diabetes through personalized care
Virta Health focuses on reversing type 2 diabetes through a combination of personalized nutrition, continuous remote care, and behavioral science. Their treatment is designed for individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, healthcare providers, and enterprise partners like employers and health plans. Unlike many competitors, Virta Health operates on a performance-based model, meaning they only receive payment if they achieve successful outcomes for their patients. This aligns their financial incentives with patient health improvements. The company's goal is to reverse type 2 diabetes in 100 million people, making their approach not just about managing diabetes but actively working towards its reversal.
