Founding Engineer: AI Native HealthTech Startup

What we're looking for

We need a Founding Software Engineer with 2+ years of full-stack TypeScript experience, preferably in a healthcare or fintech startup. This is a super exciting and mission-driven role at a well funded startup ($6.5M raised), where you can shape engineering and broader culture.

What you'll do

• Develop, test, and release new features, shipping production code from day one.

• Work across the full stack: backend, frontend, infrastructure, architecture, analytics, and integrations.

• Design and work with data structures, analytics modeling, and parsing complex healthcare datasets to surface actionable insights.

• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical decision-making to ensure a clean, stable, and maintainable codebase.

• Opportunity to own problems end-to-end and wear multiple hats—whether that's working directly with customers, shaping product roadmaps, or iterating on UX design.

• Work in a hybrid environment in NYC, collaborating closely with the team in person.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience as a full-time full-stack TypeScript software engineer (back-end leaning)

• Experience with React, TypeScript, Node.js

• Experience in healthcare and fintech preferred

• Extremely high competency with AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor)

• Ideally 1+ year at a venture-backed startup (pre Series B)

• Experience turning unstructured, complex datasets into business insights

• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code, LLMs, and cloud-based data pipelines

Compensation

• Salary: $150 - $215K (commensurate with experience)

• Equity: 10K-40K per annum

• Full-time, hybrid (minimum 2 days/week in person in NYC, Union Square)

• Visa sponsorship not available
