What this job asks for AI summary
This is the first internal full-stack engineering hire at a healthcare concierge company, reporting directly to the COO and working onsite five days a week in Stamford, CT. The role centers on designing and shipping production AI agents, agentic healthcare navigation workflows, and an internal ticketing/messaging platform in a HIPAA-regulated environment. It suits an experienced individual contributor comfortable making independent technical decisions across the full stack while collaborating with an external engineering team.

Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Applied AI Engineer' / 'Full Stack AI Engineer' carries no explicit seniority level; advertised seniority is treated as Unspecified. The 3–6 year experience range and individual-contributor framing support a Mid-level classification, even though the scope (first internal engineer, reporting to COO, owning architecture) skews toward the upper end of Mid.
HIPAA compliance is listed as a hard requirement in the 'You're a Strong Fit If' section and is central to the role's regulated environment; it is captured as a required skill representing the compliance capability gate rather than a named tool.
LangChain is listed with 'LlamaIndex or equivalent' in the stack narrative rather than a formal requirements section; however, LLM orchestration frameworks are clearly central to the AI-agent work described throughout the posting. LangChain is marked required with LlamaIndex as an alternative, reflecting the 'or equivalent' framing.
GitLab, Jenkins, Sentry, TestRail, Jira, Confluence, and ElevenLabs appear only in the 'Our Stack' narrative section and are therefore marked preferred rather than required.
Cursor and Claude/GPT appear under 'You're a Strong Fit If' but are framed as 'part of how you work every day' — a workflow preference rather than a hard gate — and are marked preferred.
The role is explicitly onsite 5 days per week at Stamford, CT headquarters; remote is false.
Healthcare tech or benefits domain background is listed as a fit signal but explicitly includes 'or a strong interest and willingness to go deep,' so it is not captured as a hard-gated skill.
