Principal AI Engineer

The Opportunity Homecare Homebase (HCHB) is the software platform behind home health and hospice care across the United States, supporting scheduling, clinical documentation, coding, compliance and revenue cycle for agencies serving millions of patient visits each year. We are seeking a Principal AI Platform Engineer to build our AI software factory. This is a hands-on individual contributor role.

You will write code every day, ship the first working version of our agent platform yourself, and then teach engineering teams to build on it. You will have no direct reports at the start. The platform will run agents against our production codebase, with people writing specifications and validating results and agents doing most of the implementation.

You will also serve as the senior technical authority on AI built into our products. Our primary stack is .NET and Azure, with Azure DevOps, Kubernetes, Azure AI Foundry and MCP-based tooling, alongside other languages and frameworks. The agent platform must work across all of them.

This is a greenfield effort, so you will set the standards rather than inherit them. Is This Role for You? This role is for someone who builds.

You’ll set standards, shape how teams use AI and influence the roadmap, but you’ll do it through working code and reference implementations, not decks, review boards or org charts. If your recent work has mostly been leading teams, advising executives or designing solutions that others implement, this probably isn’t
