About the role
About Triomics
Triomics is building the agentic AI layer for oncology EHRs. Cancer hospitals spend billions on highly trained staff manually reading unstructured patient records - pathology reports, clinical notes, genomic panels - to power workflows like trial matching, registry curation, visit prep, and quality reporting. We replace that manual work with task-driven AI agents that sit inside the EMR and process records at scale, in real time.
Our platform is trusted by the 4 of the top 10 Best Hospitals for Cancer by U.S.News and several of the largest community practices. We have grown 10x in the last year and process millions of oncology medical documents monthly.
Our investors include Lightspeed, General Catalyst, Nexus Venture Partners and Y-Combinator.
Role
Build and deploy AI agent pipelines that extract structured oncology variables from unstructured patient documents for tailor made use cases for pharmaceutical companies and cancer hospitals. You own the full cycle: understanding the customer's data dictionary, studying the source clinical documents, building extraction agents, evaluating accuracy, deploying to production, and iterating until it works. This role requires someone who can go deep into both the agentic layer as well as the clinical domain, coordinate across customer and internal teams, and deliver under deadline pressure.
Responsibilities
- Design and build agentic extraction pipelines that process 500+ page patient charts (clinical notes, pathology reports, imaging reports, genomic panels) and output structured JSON per customer data dictionaries
- Own accuracy end-to-end: define evaluation datasets, run precision/recall analysis per variable, identify failure modes, and improve through agent architecture changes, prompt engineering, fine-tuning, or rule-based post-processing
- Go deep into the clinical source data - read the actual patient charts, understand how oncologists document, learn why certain data points are ambiguous and use that understanding to improve extraction
- Work with the clinical annotation team to build gold-standard datasets and resolve edge cases
- Coordinate with customer data science and clinical teams to clarify dictionary definitions, review output quality, and close accuracy gaps
- Coordinate with internal engineering and infrastructure teams to deploy, scale, and monitor pipelines in production
- Deliver on customer timelines - this means intense sprint periods around customer deliveries followed by iteration and improvement cycles
What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days
Days 1-30: Learn the stack, the data, and the domain.
You should be reading real patient charts within your first week - not abstractions of them. Understand how oncologists document across clinical notes, pathology reports, imaging, and genomic panels. Learn why the same data point (e.g., disease stage, biomarker status, line of therapy) shows up differently across document types and why extraction is hard. Get hands-on with the existing extraction pipeline architecture: how agents are orchestrated, how documents are segmented and classified, how structured JSON is produced, and where the current system fails. Run the evaluation suite on an active customer dictionary and understand the per-variable accuracy breakdown - which variables are easy, which are hard, and why. By end of month one, you should be able to explain the top 5 failure modes in the current extraction pipeline and have an opinion on which ones are fixable with prompt/agent changes vs. which require deeper architectural work.
