About the Role

We've found that ex-founders thrive here because this role is a startup inside a startup. You'll own products end-to-end, from talking to patients about what's broken, to defining the solution, to shipping it, to iterating in production. There's no committee - you define the roadmap. You'll work directly with the CEO on the hardest, most consequential problems we have: how do you make a complex, high-stakes healthcare workflow feel effortless? How do you build agentic systems that handle real clinical logistics reliably? How do you ship a world-class consumer health product from scratch?

This role is in person in New York City, 5 days / week.

In this role, you will:

• Own the consumer product end-to-end: define what to build, talk to users, ship it, and iterate with high autonomy.

• Build and orchestrate multi-agent systems that handle real healthcare workflows autonomously: scheduling, prior auth, benefit navigation, and care coordination tasks that today require a human.

• Develop voice agent interfaces and conversational flows that work for real patients.

• Build browser-native automation that can navigate payer portals, insurance websites, and provider systems on behalf of patients, ie the messy, unstructured real world of healthcare infrastructure.

• Design and run evals frameworks to measure agent reliability, safety, and accuracy at scale.

• Move fluidly between product surface areas. When a problem is solved and productionized, you hand it off and find the next highest-leverage thing.

Technical skills

• 3+ years of engineering in a fast-pace environment.

• Deep knowledge of agent frameworks, automation tools, LLMs, and generative AI.

• Production AI systems with real-time inference requirements.

• A strong product sense and design intuition - you care about usability, polish, and user delight, not just functionality.

You’re a good fit if you…

• Have high agency: you can set direction, make judgment calls, and drive projects forward without waiting for perfect clarity.

• Have founded a company or been a very early engineer at a startup.

• Always ask “why not now?” We want to build a lot of products and features which means we need to ship at an accelerated pace.

• Want to solve big, challenging problems that impact millions of lives. We believe in the framework of “what is the best possible upside” over never trying.

• Have a strong sense of ownership and bias toward action.

• Have shipped 0→1 products in a startup or fast-paced environment.

• Communicate clearly in writing: PR descriptions, docs, and Slack updates keep the team in sync.

• Are adaptable and able to dive into unfamiliar systems, learn quickly, and make sound technical decisions.

• Enjoy collaborating with a small, ambitious team in a fast-paced environment.

• Are excited to work 5 days a week in our New York HQ (or open to relocating here).

Our commitment to you

Core values

1. Olympian’s Work Ethic: We bend the structures to transform health care. We work harder, longer, and smarter.

2. Bias for Action: We have to shoot game shots to make game shots. From facing seemingly impossible challenges to an individual day’s work, we are always biased for action. We do the thing.

3. No Ego: Everyone takes out the trash, metaphorically and literally. Everything we do is to move the company forward.

4. Customer Obsession: ****We exist to make healthcare easier for patients and families. Every decision should improve this experience.

We are at a major inflection point in our healthcare system and aging population. It is rare to have the opportunity to change the world at scale, and even more rare to have a win-win-win model in healthcare. We have the opportunity to shape the future of healthcare in America. If this excites you, come build with us.
