Caring. Connecting. Growing together.
Optum.ai is an AI-native healthcare consulting and engineering organization within Optum Insight. Our mission is to commercialize AI innovations developed across UnitedHealth Group and deliver transformative AI solutions to customers across the Payor, Provider and Life Sciences sectors.
This is not a traditional Sales Engineering or pre-sales role. You will be a hands-on, customer-facing AI builder responsible for shaping opportunities, rapidly prototyping solutions, defining architectures, and helping customers envision and adopt AI solutions. We are looking for builders who can move seamlessly between executive conversations, whiteboarding architectures, and writing code.
As an AI Solution Lead, you will partner with GTM and industry leaders to shape opportunities, build prototypes, define solution architectures and accelerate customer AI transformation.
You'll enjoy the flexibility to work remotely * from anywhere within the U.S. as you take on some tough challenges. For all hires in the Minneapolis or Washington, D.C. area, you will be required to work in the office a minimum of four days per week.
Primary Responsibilities:
Partner with GTM and Industry Leaders to shape strategic pursuits across Payor, Provider and Life Sciences
Lead customer discovery workshops, executive presentations and technical solutioning sessions
Track and manage the technical opportunity pipeline and support pursuit prioritization
Design end-to-end AI/GenAI solution architectures
Rapidly prototype proofs-of-value, demos and AI applications
Leverage reusable UHG AI assets and create reusable accelerators
Support RFP/RFI responses, effort estimation and solution strategy
Partner with AI Engineering & Delivery for seamless implementation handoff
Participate in selective delivery rotations to remain close to production implementations
You'll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in.
Required Qualifications:
Solid hands-on AI/ML/GenAI engineering experience
Experience with Python, LLMs, RAG, AI agents and modern AI frameworks
Customer-facing experience leading workshops and executive discussions
Healthcare experience across Payor, Provider and/or Life Sciences
Proven solid product and design sensibility with an eye for elegant user experiences
Demonstrated ability to rapidly prototype and iterate using AI-assisted software engineering workflows
Proven builder mindset with a bias for action, experimentation and ownership
Must be authorized to work in the United States without the need for current or future employer-sponsored visa sponsorship (e.g., H-1B, TN, F-1/OPT, CPT, or other employment-based visa status)
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code or similar AI-assisted development tools
Experience building customer-facing AI demonstrations and accelerators
Startup, innovation lab or product engineering experience
Experience creating reusable AI assets and solution patterns
Why Join Optum.ai
Help build one of healthcare's first AI-native consulting and engineering organizations. Work directly with healthcare leaders, solve meaningful problems, and shape the future of AI in healthcare.

Pay is based on several factors including but not limited to local labor markets, education, work experience, certifications, etc. In addition to your salary, we offer benefits such as, a comprehensive benefits package, incentive and recognition programs, equity stock purchase and 401k contribution (all benefits are subject to eligibility requirements).

At UnitedHealth Group, our mission is to help people live healthier lives and make the health system work better for everyone. We believe everyone-of every race, gender, sexuality, age, location and income-deserves the opportunity to live their healthiest life. Today, however, there are still far too many barriers to good health which are disproportionately experienced by people of color, historically marginalized groups and those with lower incomes. We are committed to mitigating our impact on the environment and enabling and delivering equitable care that addresses health disparities and improves health outcomes - an enterprise priority reflected in our mission.
UnitedHealth Group is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer under applicable law and qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, national origin, religion, age, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by local, state, or federal laws, rules, or regulations.
