Engineer in Residence, Medication AI

Job description

**Engineer in Residence, Medication AI** Older adults taking multiple medications are often unsure what they take, why, and what symptoms or conflicts to watch for. Caregivers and clinicians work from fragmented information. This role is to build a conversational medication companion for older adults in Taiwan, with summaries that improve continuity of care. **What You'll Build** - A medication workflow that explains what older adults take, why, and what conflicts to watch for. - A voice-friendly or chat-based Traditional Chinese interface designed for lower-digital-literacy users. - Caregiver and clinician views that turn medication, symptom, and adherence logs into useful summaries. - A safe triage and clinic-routing workflow that fits Taiwanese care patterns and can expand into broader chronic-care coordination. **What You'll Do** - Own the product across conversational experience, medication logic, patient and caregiver workflows, integrations, and deployment. - Design for trust, clarity, and low-friction use by older adults rather than assuming power-user behavior. - Decide where GenAI adds value and where deterministic safety checks should dominate. - Work with patients, caregivers, and clinicians to learn where the product reduces confusion and where it creates risk. - Work with AI Fund's build team on wedge selection, local market fit, and what could become a durable chronic-care platform. **What You Need** - Strong product engineering experience in health technology, messaging, or conversational systems. - Demonstrated experience building GenAI systems for safe summarization, voice or chat interfaces, retrieval, evals, and guardrails. - Strong UX judgment under trust and accessibility constraints, especially for older or lower-digital-literacy users. - The ability to build both patient-facing simplicity and caregiver or clinician-facing structure. - You know how to use AI coding assistants and modern AI tools to move quickly without losing safety judgment. - Mandarin fluency and the ability to work on-site in Taipei for the duration of the residency. **Helpful But Not Required** Experience in medication management, care coordination, elder care, or chronic-disease support products. Experience with speech interfaces, multilingual UX, LINE, WhatsApp, or family-sharing workflows. Founder or founding engineer experience in consumer health or workflow-heavy products. **Who This Is For** A builder who wants to work on a hard, human problem where clarity and trust matter more than novelty. Someone who can combine product empathy, technical depth, and operational realism in a healthcare product. **What To Know Upfront** - This is a 12-week, full-time, on-site residency in Taipei, Taiwan, and product decisions must fit local care workflows and patient expectations. - Not every residency becomes a company. The goal is to pressure-test the idea quickly and honestly with real users and domain experts. - You will be building an AI Fund idea, not bringing your own startup idea into the program. - The process typically includes a Builder Event or equivalent working conversation, then a 48-hour Builder Challenge, then panel review with AI Fund build leadership. - The compensation is intentionally modest during the residency because the upside, if the idea works, is a founder-level role. **Compensation** $10,000/month for 12 weeks ($30,000 total). This is a contract role during the residency. If the build leads to a funded company, the next step is a founder-level role with meaningful equity upside. We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
