Sr. Software Engineer - Internal Efficiency

The role

You will embed with internal Lyra teams to map how their work gets done and find where AI can help. You will design, build, ship and iterate on AI-powered tools and automations, and own adoption and measurable efficiency gains.

What you will do

• Embed with internal teams to map workflows, find bottlenecks and scope AI-driven solutions with measurable efficiency outcomes
• Own the full lifecycle: discovery, prototyping, deployment, adoption, measurement and iteration
• Build and improve AI-powered tools, agents and automations that integrate with Python and Java microservices, web and mobile apps, and third-party systems
• Drive the integration of agentic software development across engineering
• Evaluate emerging AI tools and models; run fast experiments and turn winners into internal capabilities
• Define and track impact metrics such as time saved, throughput, quality and cost, and report them to stakeholders and leadership
• Create and refine technical designs with fellow engineers
• Collaborate with data science, product, design, security, and operational and behavioral health teams
• Follow best practices and quality and security standards, including responsible handling of sensitive data in AI workflows

Required qualifications

• BS in CS or related technical field
• 6+ years of experience developing enterprise or consumer web applications, ideally in Python or Java/Spring
• Hands-on experience building with LLMs in production, including agentic tools and frameworks, prompt and context engineering, evals, and workflows using Claude and Codex
• Ability to work directly with non-engineering stakeholders: elicit requirements, turn ambiguous business problems into shipped software, and drive adoption
• Strong judgment on where AI helps versus where it adds risk or noise, especially in healthcare
• Highly proactive and self-directed, with autonomy to decide what to build next and contribute across design, product, front-end, back-end and quality
