AI Automation Engineer

Build the internal operating system for modern rehabilitation.

nyra health builds AI-powered rehabilitation software used in over 100 clinics across Germany and Austria. We've raised €20M in Series A funding and are scaling fast — expanding across DACH and preparing for the US market.

We have a proven product, clinical validation, and insurance reimbursement. Now we want to build the internal systems to match.

Our ambition is to operate as close to company as code as possible — where repetitive work is automated by default, not by exception, and people spend their time on the things that actually matter.

That's where you come in.

We're hiring an AI Engineer to help build the workflows, agents, and internal tools that make nyra faster, smarter, and more scalable — and to contribute to applied LLM work across our product.

You'll work across commercial, operations, customer success, product, clinical, finance, and people workflows — identifying bottlenecks, reducing manual work, and turning messy processes into systems. As part of the Machine Learning team, you'll also support in the design, implementation and improvement of the AI-driven features in our product.

🎯 Your main focus will be automating high-leverage internal workflows and helping nyra become an AI-native organization.

You'll combine hands-on automation skills, strong technical judgment, and a sharp eye for process design to create real business impact.
