Job description
Associate Application Engineer – AI & Data
Department: AI, Data & Innovation FLSA Type: Exempt Reports To: Senior Director of AI & BI Location: Remote (Must reside within the contiguous United States)
About PaceMate
PaceMate is a remote cardiac device monitoring company that plays a critical role in healthcare by enabling continuous monitoring of patients with cardiac devices. We are a growing, PE-backed healthcare technology company focused on building scalable, intelligent systems that improve operational efficiency and patient outcomes. As PaceMate evolves beyond traditional reporting and analytics, the AI, Data & Innovation team is focused on building internal applications, automation platforms, AI-enabled workflows, and scalable data products that support the future of healthcare operations.
The Opportunity
This role is designed for a career driven technical professional with strong problem-solving ability, curiosity, and an interest in building modern applications, automation systems, integrations, and AI-enabled solutions. The ideal candidate is excited by technology, enjoys learning how systems work together, and wants to grow their skills in application development, automation, and scalable data architecture. We are looking for a highly technical builder who can own applications, automate processes, solve complex system problems, and help scale the next generation of internal platforms and AI-enabled solutions across the organization. You will work across analytics applications, automation systems, AI workflows, integrations, and operational tooling. This role is ideal for someone who wants to grow from a junior-level developer into a well-rounded engineer capable of supporting applications, automation, and intelligent systems. The ideal candidate is someone who naturally thinks: “How do we build this better, automate this, and scale this long-term?” —not someone focused solely on dashboards or manual reporting.
