About Panasonic Well:

Panasonic Well is a venture and business incubator from the Panasonic Group focused on pioneering new health and wellness solutions by connecting hardware, software and services through industry-leading, responsible AI. We are committed to building an ecosystem of technology that improves well-being for every generation.

Panasonic Well operates in the US as Panasonic Well LLC and in Japan as a division of Panasonic Holdings Corporation.

About The Role: 

As a Senior Software Engineer on our AI and Data Platform team, you will build the frameworks and tools that empower AI Engineers across Panasonic Well to develop, test, and improve production-grade AI systems with confidence and speed. You will own the development of our evaluation capabilities while contributing meaningfully across our broader platform, including the central UI for AI system management.

Working at the forefront of AI evaluation, you will integrate emerging techniques from a rapidly evolving field to enable engineers and product managers to understand and improve models, agents, and multi-agent systems. In a collaborative environment that values experimentation, you will design scalable solutions that support diverse AI use cases in the health and wellness domain.

A typical project might involve extending our frameworks to support a new evaluation methodology, working cross-functionally to define requirements and iterating based on user feedback. You'll contribute across the full stack, connecting evaluation insights to our unified development environment where users can create, test, refine, and manage their AI solutions.

What You'll Get To Do:

• Own the design, development, and deployment of evaluation frameworks that support traditional ML models, generative AI, and multi-agent systems
• Build platform tools and APIs that enable experimentation and iteration for AI system development
• Collaborate with internal platform users (AI engineers, conversational designers, and product managers) to gather requirements and translate them into technical solutions
• Contribute to our central UI platform, connecting evaluation insights to user workflows
• Engage in a flexible, collaborative working environment, with opportunities to influence the long-term technical vision of projects.
• Work with AI & Data Engineering teams to integrate evaluation capabilities with existing platform
• Contribute to all phases of software development including ideation, prototyping, design and production.
• Implement privacy-by-design principles across all platform systems
• Own platform components from concept to production, including ongoing maintenance and optimization
• Stay current with emerging AI evaluation techniques and incorporate them into platform capabilities
• Be part of a team that values agility, resourcefulness, and collaboration across project boundaries

What You'll Bring:

• 4+ years of platform engineering, backend development, or related technical experience
• Proven experience building and maintaining reliable, production-grade systems in a collaborative team setting
• Strong backend engineering experience including RESTful APIs and microservices architecture
• Strong programming skills in Python with production experience 
• Comfortable working with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, and/or Azure)
• Experience with scalable system design and distributed systems concepts
• Exposure to machine learning workflows and concepts
• Experience with version control systems (Git)
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
• Ability to be self-guided and come up with technical approaches even with limited requirements
• Experience taking projects from concept through production deployment
• You're excited to collaborate closely with talented partners in Product, AI, and Design. You enjoy solving problems with a cross-functional team and sharing knowledge
• You enjoy solving technical challenges in a straightforward and maintainable way. You avoid introducing complex, novel, or "clever" solutions. You write code for humans, not for computers
• You have an empathetic mindset (for our users and the rest of our team), the ability to collaborate and communicate effectively, and a willingness and desire to learn

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with FastAPI, Next.js, or React
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration tools (Kubernetes)
• Knowledge of ML evaluation, testing, or model validation frameworks
• Familiarity with AI/ML model deployment and monitoring systems
• Understanding of data privacy principles and regulations
• Background in healthcare, wellness, or consumer technology domains
• Experience with distributed systems and compute-intensive workloads
• Experience building internal platforms or technical tools
