Position Summary: We are looking for a Lead AI Engineer in Bangalore to help build Messaging 3.0, our next-generation intelligent patient communication platform. You will design and build production-grade AI agents end to end — from LLM orchestration, tool integration, and evaluation to guardrails, observability, reliability, and production operations. You will also be the technical lead for this initiative, setting the technical direction and mentoring engineers through influence rather than formal authority.
In your first 90 days, you will help establish the foundation for the AI-driven Intelligent Messaging platform, including core services, supporting services, Temporal workflows, and two initial agents: the Notification AI Agent and Cadence Outreach AI Agent.
Over your first year, you will take these agents to production and build next-best-action intelligence so they can act autonomously and reliably toward the intended outcome of each message. You will also ensure the new architecture continues to support the important use cases handled by our existing legacy monolith and microservices.
About the Team: The Messaging team is building Messaging 3.0 — moving from static notifications and campaign-based outreach to intelligent, agent-orchestrated patient communication.
Our AI agents will use patient context, preferences, workflow state, and tools to:
This is a mix of greenfield and brownfield development. You will build new services while also replacing or wrapping existing systems that support live patient messaging in production today.

About athenahealth
Our vision: In an industry that becomes more complex by the day, we stand for simplicity. We offer IT solutions and expert services that eliminate the daily hurdles preventing healthcare providers from focusing entirely on their patients — powered by our vision to create a thriving ecosystem that delivers accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all.
Our company culture: Our talented employees — or athenistas, as we call ourselves — spark the innovation and passion needed to accomplish our vision. We are a diverse group of dreamers and do-ers with unique knowledge, expertise, backgrounds, and perspectives. We unite as mission-driven problem-solvers with a deep desire to achieve our vision and make our time here count. Our award-winning culture is built around shared values of inclusiveness, accountability, and support.
Our DEI commitment: Our vision of accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all requires addressing the inequities that stand in the way. That's one reason we prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion in every aspect of our business, from attracting and sustaining a diverse workforce to maintaining an inclusive environment for athenistas, our partners, customers and the communities where we work and serve.
What we can do for you:
Along with health and financial benefits, athenistas enjoy perks specific to each location, including commuter support, employee assistance programs, tuition assistance, employee resource groups, and collaborative workspaces — some offices even welcome dogs.
We also encourage a better work-life balance for athenistas with our flexibility. While we know in-office collaboration is critical to our vision, we recognize that not all work needs to be done within an office environment, full-time. With consistent communication and digital collaboration tools, athenahealth enables employees to find a balance that feels fulfilling and productive for each individual situation.
In addition to our traditional benefits and perks, we sponsor events throughout the year, including book clubs, external speakers, and hackathons. We provide athenistas with a company culture based on learning, the support of an engaged team, and an inclusive environment where all employees are valued.
