Description This is the first hire of its kind at Vi: a hands-on technical leader who will sit between engineering, product, and customer operations, owning the end-to-end deployment of AI agents within client environments. You’ll be embedded with enterprise customers to identify, design, and implement the first use cases that prove ROI, while continuously uncovering new automation opportunities to expand value creation. You’ll shape what “AI deployment” means at Vi, building the playbook for future hires as this function scales globally.

• Technical Execution & System Integration
• Understand and lightly contribute to code where needed (Javascript, Python, APIs, data integration pipelines).
• Ensure technical feasibility, scalability, and security of deployments in healthcare environments.
• Partner with the Operate and Product teams to evolve the shared agentic capabilities of Vi’s platform.
• Commercial Expansion
