Job Summary
Corner Health is an early-stage technology company building the operating system for independent primary care. We give Nurse Practitioners (NPs) everything they need to start and run their own practices from billing and insurance infrastructure to AI-powered workflow automation.
Were positioned to be the fastest growing in-person primary care company ever.
Corner Health was co-founded by Lava Sunder and Anne Gifford and has raised a Series A backed by top investors as well as the founders of DoorDash Commure Grow Therapy Kindred Culdesac & more.
Were looking for a Product Engineer to design and build the patient experience at Corner Health. The ideal candidate is a strong full-stack engineer with design sensibility someone who can take a high-level spec work within our existing design language and component library and own execution from interaction patterns through to shipped production-ready code.
Providers on Corner Healths platform offer an entirely new model of care. Currently 88% of patients trust a Corner Health providers medical guidance vs. elsewhere and patients already return at 2 the national average not because of marketing but because the experience actually works.
The next phase of the company is about turning that into the most thoughtful intuitive and human patient experience in primary care. This is not a handoff role. You wont be polishing a legacy healthcare portal. Youll be defining what modern primary care should feel like.
- Patient app (from zero): Design and build a cohesive web app spanning scheduling chat results notifications payments and rebooking. This is a greenfield build youll make the foundational decisions about architecture interaction patterns and visual identity.
- Making healthcare legible: Insurance billing and clinical data are notoriously opaque. Youll turn complex messy systems into clear trustworthy interfaces that patients can actually understand and act on.
- Longitudinal patient experience: Primary care shouldnt end when the appointment does. As the platform matures youll design experiences around proactive follow-ups care nudges and personalized health journeys that deepen the providerpatient relationship over time.
- Reimagined patient intake: Move beyond forms into conversational adaptive and voice-driven intake that feels natural and dramatically improves completion and accuracy.
Youll work directly with product operations and the founders to translate messy real-world healthcare workflows into elegant opinionated experiences. Youll prototype quickly ship production code and refine based on real patient behavior.
As one of our earliest hires youll hold an already high bar on design and craft influence the product roadmap and shape how design and engineering work together at Corner Health.

- Youre comfortable working across the stack from frontend interfaces to backend features and APIs (we have a TypeScript backend with tRPC Fastify and Inngest)
- You ship end-to-end production code and have strong visual taste you care about the details that make an interface feel right and you know when something is good enough to ship vs. deserves extra polish
- You are hard-working kind curious and intelligent
- You have a high degree of autonomy and can own a product surface end-to-end
- You are excited about working in a dynamic constantly changing environment
- You are pragmatic about incorporating agents and LLMs in your work and are familiar with the ways AI excels vs. where it comes up short.
- Youre excited by the idea of creating more independent medical providers
- Youve worked at a small company or startup where you were the only or primary person owning a product surface
- Youre comfortable making product calls when specs are ambiguous rather than waiting for direction
- You can hold design coherence across a product without needing a designer in the loop for every decision
- Youre more comfortable maintaining design systems in code vs. Figma (we use React Tailwind and React Aria)
- You empathize with users and are comfortable with good fast over perfect slow
- You enjoy working in-person (our office is in Santa Monica CA); you either live in LA or are excited to move to LA
- Competitive salary & equity compensation
- Top-tier health and dental

- Eligible to participate in company-sponsored 401(k) plan
Youre joining an early-stage company - its important to learn more about what were like!
Here are some of our engineering principles - they are all important but were excited for this hire to contribute to them as well.
We prioritize frequent deployments to maintain momentum and learn quickly. Small PRs are faster to review easier to roll back and create positive feedback loops. We use feature flags for gradual rollouts and invest in robust CI/CD with comprehensive testing. Merging to main should be routine not stressful.
We default to established battle-tested technologies with strong ecosystem support and good LLM integration (Prisma WorkOS etc). We have limited innovation tokensspend them on problems that differentiate us or bring genuine joy to the team. Strong foundations let us move fast and experiment at the edges where it matters whether thats core product features or fun internal tooling.
We build transparency into our development process. PRs are reviewed by the teamnot just for code quality but to share knowledge and create visibility into what were building. We document decisions share work-in-progress updates and make our process discoverable. This enables early feedback prevents duplicate work and helps everyone learn from each others approaches. Great ideas emerge from collision not isolation.
In the LLM era clear code consistent patterns and well-documented systems are force multipliers. We document our patterns conventions and common workflows. We automate repetitive tasks through scripting and templates. When AI tools repeatedly make the same mistakes we update our rules and guidelines. Enforcing consistency today saves hours tomorrow.
LLMs are powerful tools that can accelerate development but every line of code you submit should be code you understand can defend and have proven to work. When you open a PR youre putting your name on that solutionbe ready to explain how it works why you chose that approach and what trade-offs you considered. Use AI to explore ideas and generate starting points but take the time to understand refine and truly own what youre shipping. We build trust through craftsmanship not through volume.
Were a small team with high ownership and high autonomy. AI tools let us punch way above our weight but we care deeply about the quality of what we ship no vibe coding no slop. Youll spend your days building not waiting on approvals or sitting in meetings.
Lastly - one of our team values is Life is short - its OK to laugh. Whether its late night team dinners mini golf or just jamming on new product ideas for our customers - we work hard and have fun doing it.
