📋 Description

• Talkiatry is seeking a Director of AI to drive AI innovations that make high quality mental healthcare more accessible. • In this role, you’ll be the founding member of our AI technical team, defining and executing its roadmap, and lead cross-functional efforts spanning engineering, clinical, compliance, and product teams. • About Talkiatry: Talkiatry transforms psychiatry with accessible, human, and responsible care. • We’re a national mental health practice co-founded by a patient and a triple-board-certified psychiatrist to solve the problems both groups face in accessing and providing the highest quality treatment. • 60% of adults in the U.S. with a diagnosable mental illness go untreated every year because care is inaccessible, while 45% of clinicians are out of network with insurers because reimbursement rates are low, and paperwork is unduly burdensome. • With innovative technology and a human-centered philosophy, we provide patients with the care they need—and allow psychiatrists to focus on why they got into medicine.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in AI/ML roles, with at least 3 years leading cross-functional teams including engineering, product, and research. • A successful track record of shipping production-grade AI systems—ideally in healthcare, mental health, or another mission-critical domain. • Deep technical fluency in LLMs, retrieval systems, and safe interaction design—with an ability to lead architectural decisions and implementation. • Experience building or managing AI teams from 0→1, with a strong recruiting eye and mentorship skills. • Familiarity with ethical AI, including red-teaming, bias mitigation, explainability, and escalation protocols for risky outputs. • Strong understanding of healthcare compliance (e.g., HIPAA, PHI), including how to architect systems with auditability and patient safety in mind. • A pragmatic approach to experimentation and iteration—balancing cutting-edge AI with operational feasibility and clinical guardrails. • Exceptional communication skills you can convey technical decisions to both engineers and executives, and lead strategic conversations with confidence.

🏖️ Benefits

• Excellent benefits: Talkiatry offers comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans effective from day one. • 401K with match. • Generous PTO. • Paid holidays. • Paid parental leave. • Growth potential: As Talkiatry expands, you’ll have opportunities to enhance your skills and advance your career. • Meaningful impact: Help remove barriers to mental health care in underserved communities.
