Job Level
About the role
- Build Core Platform Features: Develop backend services, APIs, and user-facing features across the platform. You'll work on everything from symptom tracking to lab result visualization to treatment recommendations.
- Integrate Data Sources: Build integrations with wearables (Oura, Apple Health, Whoop, Garmin), lab providers, and other health data sources. Create pipelines that ingest, normalize, and store data reliably.
- Contribute to AI/ML Systems: Work alongside senior engineers to build and improve our health intelligence engine—including conversational AI, recommendation models, and pattern detection. Prior ML exposure is helpful; willingness to learn is essential.
- Ship Fast and Iterate: We're early stage. You'll ship code frequently, get feedback from real users, and iterate quickly. Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward action are key.
- Build with AI-Native Tools: Use Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI-assisted development tools daily. We embrace vibe coding and expect you to leverage AI to move faster and learn faster.
- Learn the Healthcare Domain: You'll pick up health data concepts, compliance basics (HIPAA), and clinical terminology as you go. We'll support your learning—curiosity matters more than prior experience here.
Requirements
- 1-3 years of software engineering experience, including internships or research roles. You've built and shipped real software—whether in a job, a research lab, or meaningful personal projects.
- You write clean, efficient code and are comfortable with Python and engineering best practices.
- Full-stack capable or eager to learn. Experience with backend development (APIs, databases) and willingness to pick up frontend work as needed. Familiarity with JavaScript/TypeScript, React, or similar is a plus.
- Comfortable with cloud infrastructure. Basic experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure. You can deploy code and aren't afraid of infrastructure.
- Excited about AI-native development. You already use Claude, Cursor, Copilot, or similar tools—or you're eager to. You see AI as a way to accelerate your work and learning.
- Self-directed and scrappy. You thrive with autonomy, figure things out independently, and take ownership. You're comfortable in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
- Strong communicator. You can explain technical concepts clearly and collaborate effectively with teammates across disciplines.
- Motivated by impact. You care about building something meaningful. You're excited about a product that improves real health outcomes for women.
