Job Description
You will work embedded in the team of a large, established client in the US healthcare and insurance sector, an organization that moves slowly and where AI applied well can make a real difference. The goal is clear: understand deeply how the business works, find where it makes sense to bring in AI, and take it all the way to real production, not a pilot that ends up sitting in a drawer. Quality, speed and visible results matter from the first weeks.
What you'll do
• Real discovery work with the client: understanding their processes, their systems and where the bottlenecks are before proposing anything.
• Design and propose AI solutions grounded in business sense, not just technically elegant ones.
• Evaluate the proposed solution and carry it through to delivery.
• Be the technical face of the project in front of the client, with constant, clear communication.
What we're looking for
• Real hands-on experience building with AI (LLMs, agents, automation) in production environments, not just courses or small personal projects.
• Intermediate level with at least one solid client engagement, up to senior or lead. This is not a position for junior profiles; there is real architecture involved.
• Someone who uses AI naturally in their day-to-day work (Claude Code, Codex or similar) and can defend the decisions they make with its help.
• Fluent English, to work comfortably and directly with a client team in the US.
• Autonomy, independent judgment and a genuine drive to own an entire project, not just execute tasks.
• Care for quality and attention to detail: work that is clean, well explained and delivered on time.
• Clear, proactive communication with both business stakeholders and engineers.
You don't need
A fixed tech stack. How you think and how you communicate matters far more to us than the exact list of technologies you know.
Hiring Process
NodeX runs the evaluation directly, in the following steps:
• CV focused on projects: what problems the candidate solved and how, not only the technologies used. Please send CVs with real detail of the projects.
• Soft skills test.
• Technical exercise: improving an existing application, delivered as a zip plus a short PDF.
• Defense of the exercise in front of two engineers, to assess attention to detail and communication.
Response time from NodeX: within 48 hours per profile received, with interviews held within one week.
