Job Summary

The future of medical treatment has arrived but its not evenly distributed. Innovative medical technologies are entering the market every year but it takes up to a decade for US health insurers to actually cover those treatments for patients (and even longer outside the US) blocking patients from the best possible medical care.

We are a fast-growing Stanford-founded early-stage AI SaaS startup (with venture capital funding and a long runway). We use LLMs and AI agents to fight for medical coverage for individual patients.

Job Responsibilities

We give major strategic ownership to everyone at the company.

  • Feature Development: Design build and iterate on end-to-end product features (frontend backend or both) using modern frameworks and cloud services.

  • Execution & Accountability: Turn product goals into scoped milestones and keep the team unblocked and on-time.

  • Product collaboration: Work with founders design and other engineers to translate user needs into simple scalable solutions.

  • Improve our generative AI capabilities. Foundational model training and fine-tuning wont be necessary but we do a lot of vertical-specific LLM orchestration.

  • Team & culture: Raise the bar via code reviews documentation and mentoring; help interview future teammates and shape engineering norms.

Qualifications

Required:

  • 4 years of software engineering experience (full-stack preferred)

  • Strong Python and JavaScript/TypeScript skills

  • Comfort in ambiguous fast-paced environments; self-starter mindset

  • Detail-oriented with a high bar for quality and trust in healthcare tools

Ideal but not required:

  • Startup experience especially early stage

  • Experience with LLMs in real-world applications

  • Familiarity with React Node SQL Docker/Kubernetes

Tech stack

We use TypeScript in our frontend and Python for pretty much everything else. We run in a Kubernetes cluster on AWS and use various AWS services (S3 Bedrock etc) where it makes sense.

Compensation

We offer salary that is competitive with other startups and a very generous equity package (which youll get at a lower valuation before we raise our next funding round!). Benefits: health & dental (including vision).

Location

We offer hybrid (at least 3 days per week in the office) work-arrangements in Toronto or NYC.

More on the company

Vibes: You can expect a fast-paced intense dynamic and exciting working environment where everyone has strategic ownership. We also play Geoguessr (an online game) together at the end of standup each day.
