About Amigo

Amigo builds AI agents that deliver healthcare autonomously—AI doctors, AI nurses, and AI care coordinators. Our agents handle clinical workflows and patient engagement across the entire patient journey: pre-visit intake, triage, care navigation, post-visit care plans, side effect management, and medication adherence. Context-aware with memory across sessions and the ability to take clinical action.

We own outcomes, not just delivery. For our customers, we're responsible for agent performance: clinical safety, continuous improvement, measurable patient outcomes. Agents operate autonomously within bounded clinical domains, with clear scope and handoff protocols. That scope expands as we validate performance across populations.

We're fresh off our Series A from Tier 1 investors like General Catalyst, GSV Ventures, SVA, and CohoVC. Our work is validated with leading academic medical institutions. We're currently reaching 1M+ patient interactions every 90 days, and are on track to 10x this year.

About this role

As a Clinical Research Scientist at Amigo, you'll lead research on clinical AI safety, evaluation frameworks, and evidence generation. You'll design studies that validate agent performance across patient populations, develop metrics for clinical quality, and publish findings that advance the field. Your clinical expertise ensures our agents meet the standards required for autonomous operation in healthcare.

This role bridges clinical practice and AI research. You'll work directly with our agent engineering and data science teams to translate clinical knowledge into measurable evaluation criteria and safety guardrails.
