Sample Healthcare
Sample transforms healthcare operations from a burden into a competitive advantage. The US leads the world in first launches of new treatments yet our healthcare system sees clinicians spending 73% of their time on administrative work were on a mission to eliminate this friction thats choking Americas engine of medical progress. We work with leading national providers already have data from 75% of US oncology clinics and our network is rapidly expanding across the nation.
Why this matters
Healthcare in America faces an existential challenge. As our population ages and chronic conditions multiply clinicians and administrators shoulder an ever-growing burden under razor-thin margins. This administrative friction isnt just inefficient its dangerous. It leads to delayed diagnoses missed treatments and clinician burnout. As the pace of scientific discovery accelerates maintaining Americas role as the crucible of modern medicine depends on fixing these operational challenges.
Our product
Weve built a platform that enables healthcare providers to create their own AI copilots automating and accelerating their most critical operations. These copilots dont just speed up work they capture valuable ground-truth data that makes our models smarter over time. As providers join our network they become part of a network which can support patients across a network of specialists. Our rapid growth hitting Series A revenue metrics just 10 months from day 1 shows were onto something big.
The opportunity
Were building a generational company. As a founding engineer at Sample youll face healthcares most important problems and be given the freedom to solve them. Here are some of the problems our engineering team is working on today:
Developing a framework and IDE for building AI-powered workflows starting from copilots and evolving into full assistants
Training cutting-edge models for medical record reasoning
Creating pipelines that rapidly tune task-specific models using preference data from our co-pilots
These arent just technical challenges theyre opportunities to reshape how healthcare operates. Success means diving deep into both the technical and domain complexities.
