Internships· Certifyos

AI Intern

Opportunity Overview CertifyOS is hiring an AI Intern for a 6-month contract to build, test, and deploy machine learning services on its provider data platform. This is a fully remote position focused on production engineering, not academic research. You will own features end-to-end, from working with stakeholders to deploying services on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). CertifyOS builds the data infrastructure that powers modern healthcare. The company's API-first platform automates provider licensing, enrollment, credentialing, and network monitoring by connecting directly to hundreds of primary data sources. Healthcare organizations use this to maintain accurate, compliant, and reliable provider networks at scale. The company is backed by leading investors and built by a team with deep experience in provider data systems. Their vision is simple: one API, one provider ID, frictionless provider data. The role sits at the intersection of software engineering and machine learning. You will write production-ready Python code, design evaluation pipelines, and operate ML services on GCP tools like Cloud Run, GKE, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, BigQuery, and Cloud Storage. The focus is on strong engineering, testing, and robust evaluation rather than novel model architectures. You will collaborate with product, operations, engineering, and data teams to clarify requirements and iterate on solutions. Working remotely means you set your own schedule, but you will need to communicate clearly across time zones. The team values authenticity, accountability, collaboration, results, and openness to feedback. This is a high-ownership environment where you drive projects with limited supervision. If you have experience deploying ML workloads on GCP and writing clean, tested Python code, this is a chance to work on infrastructure that impacts millions of patients.
