Full Stack Founding Engineer

About us

Did you know that healthcare providers now spend more time on their computers than they do seeing patients? They're forced to make an average of over 4000 clicks per shift because their software is so ancient and hard to use! We’re here to get them back to what matters most: their patients.

If you’re looking to contribute your talent to something meaningful that can not only make users happy but also save lives, then this is the place for you.
‍

The role

We are looking for a highly motivated Founding Engineer with deep expertise in building products from the ground up. You'll be joining a fast-paced team focused on delivering solutions to real-world problems through rapid iteration and close customer collaboration. If you are successful, you will have the opportunity to grow into Head of Engineering as we scale.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the entire development cycle: from initial concept, coding, testing, and deployment, to maintenance and continuous improvements.
• Collaborate closely with the founding team to define product vision, features, and technical requirements.
• Architect and build scalable, secure, and high-performance applications from the backend to the frontend.
• Deploy, monitor, and maintain infrastructure on cloud platforms.
• Drive technical decision-making, including selection of frameworks, tools, and best practices.
• Help scale our engineering team as we grow, fostering a strong engineering culture.
• Integrating and innovating with LLMs to power AI-driven solutions.
• Working closely with customers to iterate and ship quickly, with a focus on delivering value.
• Setting and maintaining a high bar for quality while working independently to get things done.

‍

‍Our tech stack:

• Frontend: React Native Expo (Web, Android, iOS)
• Backend: Nest.js
• Database: Firestore (NoSQL)
• Infrastructure: GCP

‍

*Note that you can get a different title than "Founding Engineer" if you want for career trajectory purposes, like if you're currently a Director of Engineering we can make you Senior Director of Engineering, but the job will still be a hardcore coding position.

‍

Who we're looking for

‍Must haves:‍

• Expertise with TypeScript & React.
• Experience in building and scaling infrastructure systems.
• Experience with DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization technologies.
• Ability to work from 0 to 1, taking projects from concept to production.
• A passion for problem-solving and delivering high-impact results in a startup environment.
• Interest in the healthcare space with a desire to provide a meaningful impact to patients’ lives.
  
• Ability to work in-person in the San Francisco Bay Area most of the time. Daily start and end times are flexible, for example you can start at 7am and leave early to avoid traffic or start at 10am and leave late if you want to go to breakfast with a friend. Ideally most weeks you'd be in the office 5 days a week if you live right in San Francisco, but if you live a bit further out and are really talented you could work a couple days from home.

‍

Nice to haves:

• Previous experience as an early software startup employee or founder.
• Experience scaling to 10+ engineers, with strong team culture and development opportunities.
• Have shipped a production app which uses LLMs.
• Past work building software for a highly-regulated environment.
• Be really smart.
  ‍

What we offer

Compensation:

• Generous equity and salary package.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• $500 monthly wellness stipend.
• $2000 bonus for your first 5+ day vacation.
• $5000 annual education stipend.
• Immigration sponsorship as long as your situation would allow you to start within the next month or so.

‍

Culture:

• No micromanagement.
• No culty HR stuff like saying “we’re a family here” to pressure you into company happy hours, we value your life outside of work.
• We treat you like a capable, intelligent adult.
• Flexible working hours, for example you can start at 7am and leave early to avoid traffic or start at 10am and leave late if you want to go to breakfast with a friend.
• Unlimited time off, must take at least 3 weeks off per year, it’s not one of those companies that says you have unlimited time off but everyone’s pressured not to take any.
• Founders are super reasonable and chill, not narcissistic or egotistical, actually spend their time working instead of tweeting, and are doing this to help clinicians instead of just making a quick buck.

Our core behaviors:

1. Put clinicians first
2. Shoot for the long-term
3. Think globally
4. Every detail matters
5. Automate whenever possible
6. Always give back
