Senior Automation Engineer

We’re building the future of healthcare by giving every clinician the earth's finest AI Care Partner. In just 18 months, our clinical AI products have absorbed the administrative chaos of 73 million patient visits. Today, we support over 2.5 million patient sessions a week across 190+ countries. Healthcare systems are failing us; clinicians spend more time on documentation than on patients, and the human connection that makes medicine worth practicing is eroding. Our mission is simple: double the world’s healthcare capacity and strengthen the human connection at its heart.

The role involves building our own automation engine that works the EHR the way a person would: reading the interface, mapping the fields and pushing structured data into the record. This is a code-first role, not a low-code studio one. You'll build and harden ours in-house: the UI-automation layer, the mapping templates and the patient-matching logic that has to be right every single time, because it writes into a real patient record.

You will work hands-on with live NHS and private deployments where a native integration isn't on the table yet and automation is the route to going live. Sometimes that might mean being on site with our Commercial Team, watching how a coding team or clinic actually works rather than how the process doc says they do, and turning what you see into shipped automation within days.

You will work closely with the Product and Agents teams pushing this capability forward, taking the engine from working in a demo to working unattended, for every customer, at scale.

What you’ll do:

• Design, build, and maintain Heidi's deterministic automation engine for interacting with EHRs that lack a native integration.
• Build UI-automation flows across web and desktop systems that reliably push data into third-party software.
• Implement patient-matching and validation logic so data lands on the correct record every time, with patient data safety as a non-negotiable constraint.
• Prototype with AI-assisted tools to ship in days, then harden what works into production-grade code.
• Embed with health systems and their IT teams during live rollouts: map the real workflow on site, close the gaps, get them live.
• Engineer work queues, retries and exception handling so automations run unattended and failures are caught and explainable rather than silent.
• Harden flows against UI drift and edge cases, and decide with Product and Integrations where automation is the right route versus where a native integration should be built instead.
• Treat every automation as a product: instrument runs, measure reliability, and own the tooling and docs that let other engineers extend the engine to new EHRs.

What you'll need:

• Strong sense of ownership & strong problem-solving skills.
• Proof you build: a tool, a script, an automation that solved a real problem for real users.
• Production experience with UI automation: Playwright, accessibility-tree frameworks like FlaUI, or an RPA platform you've since outgrown.
• Python as your primary language; C# or TypeScript alongside it is a bonus.
• Deterministic-systems instincts: queues, retries, idempotency and exception handling.
• Comfort with brittle, undocumented or legacy third-party interfaces, and building reliable logic around them.
• Working fluency with LLM APIs and AI-assisted development.
• Data & application security knowledge, with a serious appreciation for handling patient data safely.
• Comfort working directly with customers and field teams when a deployment needs eyes on the actual workflow.
• Experience automating against regulated, high-stakes systems (payments, banking, healthcare) is a strong signal, not a requirement.

How we show up:

• Build for the next decade, not next quarter.
• Lead, don't wait.
• Follow the evidence. Trust the patient.
• Own the outcome.
• Ship, measure, go again.
• Live in clinicians' reality.
