Job Summary

About Optexity

Optexity is a product-driven research lab building clinical reasoning and computer use models on data no other lab can reach. We deploy directly inside clinics and hospitals including systems with no APIs using integration infrastructure weve built and open-sourced and in return become their preferred partner. That gives us proprietary clinical reasoning trajectories from practicing physicians and a feedback loop between real patient encounters our models and the products built on top of them.

Were a small fast-moving founding team with multiple published papers in NeurIPS ICML CVPR etc and background from Apple Amazon Microsoft CMU IIT.

We are backed by world-class investors and leaders like Jeff Dean Neotribe VC PearVC Together Fund and Zapier Fund.

How we work
  • Customer obsession we start with the customer and work backwards

  • Intellectual honesty ideas matter more than titles; we communicate directly and assume good intent even in disagreement

  • Bias for action we build and learn with customers rather than debate in the abstract

  • Extreme ownership we own outcomes not just tasks and see problems through
