About Us At Sully.ai http://Sully.ai, We’re Building the Most Impactful Healthcare Company on Earth We believe that access to a great doctor is a basic human right. Today, that’s not a reality. Delays, misdiagnoses, administrative chaos, and burnout plague the system. Our Mission: One Human, One Doctor. We build AI teammates that augment clinicians — scribes, nurses, receptionists, translators — all powered by our own world-class models and deployed in real-world care. Our Traction - 450+ organizations signed 16 months - AI agents cut admin by ~2.8 hours daily and reduce onboarding 85%. - 5M+ Clinical Tasks completed to date, serving 36+ specialties. - Raised $25M from YC, Eric Yuan, Amity, Semper Virens - Patented AI architecture (MedCon-1) outperforms GPT-4.5, Gemini, Claude on clinical reasoning tasks Sully requires A-players capable of 4 months = 1 year output. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - Build and scale automated evaluation pipelines (LLM-as-judge + human review) with clinical-grade benchmarks. HARD REQUIREMENTS - Proven experience designing agentic processes and LLM evaluation/benchmarking frameworks. - Strong Python and ML background (PyTorch/TensorFlow, Hugging Face, LangChain/LlamaIndex). - Demonstrated ability to design rigorous experiments and translate findings into production. - Track record of published research or deep applied work in LLMs and agent evaluation. - Strong communication and technical writing skills to articulate complex findings clearly. - First-Month Focus - Audit existing evaluation approaches for clinical and agentic tasks. - Define initial benchmarks and build early automated pipelines. - Partner with engineering to land first set of CI gates for accuracy, factuality, and safety. - 90 Days - Deliver a repeatable evaluation framework with automated pipelines in production. - Demonstrate measurable improvements in robustness, hallucination reduction, or safety. - Publish or present internal research findings that directly shape product reliability. - If you’ve ever said, “I want to do work that actually matters”, this is it. Let’s build something life-changing, together. KEY RESULTS (FIRST 90 DAYS) - Deliver a repeatable evaluation framework with automated pipelines in production. - Demonstrate measurable improvements in robustness, hallucination reduction, or safety. - Publish or present internal research findings that directly shape product reliability. Who Thrives Here - Entrepreneurial to your core: You think in outcomes, thrive in chaos, and take ownership without limits - Mission-obsessed: You’re here to save lives, not just ship features — patients and doctors are your why. - Impact-driven & fast-moving: You sprint toward hard problems and ship with sharp judgment. - Elite teammate: You raise the bar through high standards, direct feedback, and craft excellence.
