About Amigo
We build AI that puts people first. Instead of just making organizations more efficient, we ensure AI systems actually help humans thrive.
We focus on healthcare because getting things right matters most there. Our technology gives organizations confidence that their AI is working correctly before they deploy it. We use advanced testing and verification to make sure these systems are reliable enough for critical decisions.
We operate globally and follow strict regulations. We've raised $6.5M from investors including General Catalyst and GSV Ventures. Our team comes from diverse backgrounds—tech, psychology, economics, healthcare, and policy—all working together to create AI that organizations can trust and that genuinely benefits people.
About this role
As a Simulation Systems Research Engineer at Amigo, you'll build the high-fidelity simulation infrastructure that enables our AI systems to provide statistical confidence in healthcare decisions. You'll design and implement systems that model complex healthcare environments, patient interactions, and deployment contexts under compute constraints. Your work directly enables the translation of simulated performance to real-world outcomes, forming the foundation of our approach to reliable AI in critical domains.
What you'll do
Build high-fidelity simulation systems that model healthcare environments and patient interactions
Create systems that simulate real-world edge cases: network failures, background noise, system crashes
Develop frameworks for testing AI behavior across diverse patient populations
Build tools for validating simulation accuracy against real-world healthcare data
Design distributed systems that can scale to millions of test scenarios
Collaborate with healthcare experts to ensure simulations capture critical clinical details
What we're looking for
Experience building complex simulation systems
Strong background in distributed systems and high-performance computing
Experience with simulation frameworks and modeling complex real-world systems
Knowledge of statistical sampling and Monte Carlo methods
Track record of building production systems that handle large-scale data processing
Nice to have
