Job description

Position Overview :

We are hiring a highly motivated AI Integration Developer Intern for a 4-month internship, with the potential for full-time employment. This role will involve integrating AI modules into our Patient Support Tool to help with tasks such as insurance form automation, data extraction, and conflict detection (e.g. if a doctor orders medications that a patient is allergic to). You will play a pivotal role in building scalable and secure AI systems that interface seamlessly with other platform components.

Key Responsibilities :

1. AI Module Integration :

  • Integrate Speech-to-Text capabilities for recording and transcribing doctor’s orders using APIs like Google Cloud Speech-to-Text, OpenAI Whisper or Azure Cognitive Services
  • Deploy OCR functionalities to digitize brochures and handouts, leveraging libraries like Tesseract or Google Vision API or OpenAI API
  • Build APIs to connect AI modules with the platform’s backend, ensuring efficient and secure data transfer
  • Develop pipelines to automate :
  • Conflict detection by comparing patient records with new medical orders (e.g., drug interactions, allergy checks)
  • Insurance form auto-completion, using predefined templates and extracted patient / doctor data

3. Backend Development :

  • Design scalable backend services for handling data processing, storage, and retrieval of AI-generated insights
  • Implement robust APIs for inter-component communication, ensuring alignment with security and compliance standards
  • Use containerization tools (e.g., Docker) to deploy AI modules in a cloud-native architecture
  • 4. Compliance and Security :

  • Ensure all data pipelines adhere to healthcare regulations like HIPAA and GDPR
  • Implement data encryption (in transit and at rest) and role-based access controls to safeguard sensitive information
  • 5. Testing and Debugging :

  • Write unit tests for AI modules and integration tests for end-to-end workflows
  • Set up tools to monitor performance under high-load conditions, identify bottlenecks, and optimize data pipelines
  • 6. Collaboration :

  • Partner with the NLP AI Developer to ensure smooth integration of AI functionalities like summarization and chatbot responses
  • Work closely with the DevOps team to automate deployment workflows using CI / CD pipelines
  • 7. Documentation and Reporting :

  • Maintain clear and detailed documentation for data automation workflows, APIs, and integration points
  • Generate analytics reports on the performance and usage of automated features for stakeholders
  • Required Technical Skills :

  • Experience with AI tools for Speech-to-Text and OCR (e.g., Google Vision API, Azure Speech Services, OpenAI API)
  • Proficiency in backend development using Python or Node.js
  • Familiarity with RESTful APIs and data exchange formats like JSON, XML, and HL7 FHIR
  • Strong understanding of database technologies (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB)
  • Knowledge of containerization (e.g., Docker) and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Preferred Technical Skills :

  • Experience with EHR systems and healthcare interoperability standards
  • Familiarity with AI-driven conflict detection systems and rules engines (e.g., Drools)
  • Understanding of CI / CD pipelines and DevOps workflows
  • Soft Skills :

  • Detail-oriented with a focus on building scalable, maintainable systems
  • Ability to work collaboratively across teams and adapt to shifting priorities
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive approach to addressing challenges
  • Common Internship Details :

    Qualifications :

  • Current enrollment in or recent graduation from a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or related field
  • At least 1-2 years of academic or practical experience in AI / ML development
  • Internship Benefits :

  • Hands-on experience solving real-world challenges in healthcare technology
  • Mentorship from senior engineers and AI specialists
  • Opportunity to transition into a full-time role after successful completion of the internship
  • Location and Work Environment :

  • Hybrid working environment
  • Flexible hours with daily stand-ups and weekly progress reviews
