About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Redefine healthcare investing as a technical discipline.
You will design and ship AI systems to unlock one of the world's densest and highest-impact repositories of healthtech venture knowledge.
You will embed with our investment, talent, and global development teams to solve problems in deep research, alternative people and organizational data, and human-agent interaction.
You will constantly raise the bar on the level of technical sophistication that we embody and offer to our founders, portfolio, and healthcare partners.
Push the frontier of applied AI.
You will build durable, long-horizon agents, combine complex human judgment with context engineering and self-improving feedback loops, and constantly invent things that didn't exist yesterday.
As appropriate, you will publish, open-source, and share what you learn across our portfolio, our healthcare partners, and the broader research community.
Raise the technical bar across the company.
You will use the work you ship to teach the organization what AI can do, contribute reusable patterns back to our core systems, and help teammates and portfolio companies understand how to build differently in an AI-native world.
Create global patient impact.
As a technologist-investor, you will source, assess, inspire, and close exceptional founders, then support them in building enduring, transformative health technology companies that serve millions of patients and providers around the world.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You have spent 10+ years in a senior technical role at a major venture-backed startup, frontier AI lab, or investment firm.
Bonus points for founding a company and building a product from 0-1, or for meaningful time inside a VC or similar.
You are an expert in Python and/or TypeScript and have written and reviewed millions of lines of code.
You are proficient with modern agent frameworks (Lang* / Deep Agents, the Anthropic Agent SDK, or similar) and have shipped systems on top of them in production.
You have built or materially modified the harness around an agent: custom tools or agentic CLIs, MCP servers, durable and sandboxed execution, observability, and self-learning loops.
You have built stateful, long-horizon agentic systems well beyond basic RAG.
Bonus points for a pre-LLM background in machine learning, knowledge graphs, semantic search, or for having built CRM-like intelligence products such as enterprise RevOps or recruiting software.
You have completely reinvented your workflow around AI.
You've built sophisticated systems on top of coding agents like Claude Code (skills, MCPs, custom harnesses for development and code review) and have hardly written code by hand in over a year.
Technology is one of your passions, but you find deep meaning in some other pursuit to which you've devoted your time, thought, and effort: a creative or athletic outlet, a family business, or service.
