About Bask Health
Bask Health is a software platform that enables entrepreneurs, doctors, and healthcare businesses to launch, manage, and grow direct-to-consumer telehealth businesses.
Our platform brings together patient experiences, clinical workflows, pharmacy operations, and commerce tools in one place.
We're an entrepreneurial, product-focused engineering team that values ownership, technical excellence, and building software that solves real problems. Engineers work closely with product teams and company leadership, take features from idea to production, and have a direct role in shaping the platform.
Engineering at Bask is AI-first and builder-led. We use tools like Cursor and Claude Code throughout development while maintaining high standards for reliability, testing, and software quality.
About the Role
We're looking for an ML Systems Engineer to build and maintain the infrastructure that allows machine learning models and AI-powered services to operate reliably across Bask Health's platform.
Bask Health brings together patient experiences, merchant operations, clinical workflows, pharmacy coordination, and commerce tools. As machine learning becomes more integrated into these applications, we need dependable systems for preparing data, deploying models, managing inference, monitoring performance, and maintaining production reliability.
You'll help develop the engineering infrastructure that connects machine learning development with real-world application use. Your work will support the complete operational lifecycle of machine learning systems, from model packaging and deployment to monitoring, troubleshooting, and ongoing maintenance.
This is a hands-on engineering role that combines backend software development, cloud infrastructure, machine learning operations, and distributed systems. You'll work with APIs, data pipelines, deployment environments, model-serving services, and monitoring tools to make machine learning capabilities accessible to other engineering teams.
Your work may include building model-serving infrastructure, implementing automated deployment pipelines, developing batch and real-time inference services, managing model artifacts, and creating systems that monitor performance and operational health.
You'll collaborate with machine learning engineers, applied scientists, backend engineers, and infrastructure specialists to understand model requirements and translate them into reliable production systems. You'll help establish reusable deployment patterns, improve developer workflows, and reduce the complexity of operating machine learning applications.
Because Bask operates in healthcare-related environments, you'll also need to consider data privacy, access controls, tenant isolation, and appropriate handling of sensitive information throughout the machine learning lifecycle.
This position emphasizes strong software engineering fundamentals and practical infrastructure ownership. You'll contribute to technical design, build production services, investigate operational problems, and continuously improve system performance.
We're looking for an engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of machine learning and infrastructure, understands the challenges of running models in production, and wants to build systems that other engineers can depend on.
