Nurse Practitioner

Job Description

Job Description

Akido is rebuilding the healthcare experience from the ground up. Through early interventions designed around social determinants of health (SDoH), world-class care focused on chronic disease, and human-centered technology, we believe we can build a healthcare model that allows for all patients to live their fullest lives. We are a fast-growing, impact-focused, Y Combinator company created out of the University of Southern California's D-Health Lab with the idea that empowering government, healthcare, and nonprofit services with population-based data could help usher in a new era of preventive public health. Today we are building a full stack medical network that leverages our predictive capabilities to provide a frictionless experience for both our patients and care providers.

The Opportunity

In collaboration with the Independent Drivers Guild (IDG) and Workers Benefit Fund (WBF), we are launching an inaugural program in New York City specifically for independent drivers, such as those affiliated with Uber and Lyft. We're looking for a Nurse Practitioner (NP) who is passionate about advancing health equity and energized by the opportunity to build a new kind of care model from the ground up.

This is not a typical NP role. You'll be part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary team delivering mobile and virtual care to communities who've long been left out of traditional healthcare systems. Beyond providing direct patient care, you'll contribute to designing workflows, engaging patients, and shaping a model of care that is human-centered, scalable, and grounded in trust.

You will also play a key role in implementing Akido's AI-powered tools—helping integrate them into clinical workflows, providing feedback to refine algorithms, and ensuring they enhance (not replace) human care. Your perspective as a frontline provider will directly influence how we use AI to reduce administrative burden, improve accuracy, and support better outcomes for patients.

This role is ideal for an NP who thrives in a fast-moving, team-oriented environment and is excited to co-create solutions that make care more accessible, preventive, and compassionate.

What you'll do

Direct Patient Care

• Provide comprehensive care through mobile clinics, community settings, and virtual platforms
• Diagnose and manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and hyperlipidemia
• Prescribe medications, order and interpret labs, and adjust care plans to optimize outcomes
• Deliver evidence-based lifestyle medicine interventions and culturally relevant health education
• Work closely with a health coach and registered dietitian to deliver integrated, whole-person care plans that combine medical treatment with nutrition counseling and behavior change support
