Responsibilities
- Inherit a working beta with real users and make it better - faster, more reliable, and more capable. You'll assess the existing architecture, close gaps, and build on a foundation that's already delivering value
- Evolve and deepen the backend infrastructure, APIs, and data models that power personalized health insights. Design systems that synthesize lab results, wearable data, symptoms, and medical history into actionable intelligence at scale
- Build on and expand robust ETL pipelines ingesting data from diverse sources: lab providers (Quest, LabCorp), wearables (Oura, Apple Health, Whoop, Garmin), medical records, and user-entered data. Ensure data integrity, security, and HIPAA compliance
- Implement and refine the conversational AI health check-ins, treatment recommendation engine, and predictive models that surface insights and guide users through their health journey. Work with Claude and other AI tools to accelerate development
- Build with HIPAA compliance as a first-class concern. Implement and maintain encryption, access controls, audit logging, and security best practices for handling sensitive health data
- Use Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI-assisted development tools to accelerate building. Embrace vibe coding and rapid prototyping to move quickly from concept to working product
- As we scale, mentor and guide additional engineers. Help establish engineering culture, practices, and standards. This role has a clear path to engineering leadership
Skills
- 10+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of building and shipping complex products. You've worked across the stack and can own technical decisions end-to-end
- Strong backend and infrastructure expertise. Deep experience with system architecture, APIs, databases, and building scalable, reliable systems. Comfortable with Python, Node.js, or similar
- Experience with health data and integrations. You've worked with lab data, EHR systems, wearable APIs, or healthcare interoperability standards (HL7, FHIR). You understand the complexity of health data
- Data pipeline and ETL experience. You've built pipelines that ingest, transform, and normalize data from multiple sources. Experience with healthcare data integration is a strong plus
- Cloud infrastructure proficiency. Hands-on experience with AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or Azure. You can architect and deploy secure, compliant infrastructure
- AI/ML implementation experience. You've built products that leverage AI-whether recommendation systems, NLP, conversational AI, or predictive models. Experience with LLMs and prompt engineering is valuable
- Security and compliance mindset. You understand HIPAA requirements and can build systems that protect sensitive health data from the start
- Comfortable with AI-native development workflows. You use Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub, or similar tools to accelerate your work
- Preference on experience with Python and Typescript. Experience with Cloud platforms like AWS, JCP, etc
- Experience in healthcare technology and an understanding of technology health data privacy regulations (HIPAA, state telemedicine laws)
- Startup mentality. You've thrived in early-stage environments where you wear many hats, move fast, and take ownership. You're energized by ambiguity and building from zero to one
- Passion for the mission. You care about building technology that improves women's health outcomes. You're motivated by the impact this product can have on real people's lives
- Experience building consumer health or clinical products
- Familiarity with lab data standards (LOINC codes) and medical terminology
- Experience with wearable device integrations (Oura, Apple HealthKit, Whoop, Garmin)
- Background in building conversational AI or chatbot experiences
- Experience with mobile development (React Native, Flutter) or mobile-first web apps
