What you'll do :

  • Architect and build backend systems that power a next-generation unstructured data platform.
  • Take full ownership of critical product features from conception to launch, ensuring performance and scalability.
  • Collaborate closely with founders and enterprise healthcare customers to shape solutions with measurable impact.
  • Drive initiatives that convert unstructured documents into clean, structured SQL tables for real-world healthcare use cases.
  • Scale systems to handle millions of clinical data points while optimizing for speed and reliability.
  • Contribute to the evolution of AI-driven workflows that accelerate prior authorizations and clinical decision-making.
  • What you'll bring :

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree preferred
  • Professional experience building backend systems and experience designing and delivering production-level software
  • Experience with Python, TypeScript, or Go
  • A mindset of ownership, adaptability, and drive to see your work make a real-world impact

  • Perks :

  • Competitive base salary ($190K - $225K)
  • Equity with significant upside
  • Work hand-in-hand with Stanford AI Lab founders and seasoned startup builders.
  • See your code directly reduce provider burnout and accelerate patient care.
  • Wear multiple hats, gain exposure to new technologies, and influence both product and company direction
  • Space to do your best work in a small, collaborative team.
  • If this sounds like you, and you're interested in joining some of the brightest minds in the field, apply today!
