About the role

UnitedHealth Group's Optum AI team is seeking AI/ML researchers and engineers to design and deploy agentic and generative AI systems for healthcare, using structured and unstructured data, within distributed computing environments. You will work on cutting-edge AI techniques, collaborate with stakeholders, and contribute to ethical AI practices while advancing health outcomes across the enterprise. This role supports remote work from anywhere in the U.S.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
