  • San Mateo, CA

Job Description

Repeat founder (Stanford alum, prior VC-backed ventures) building a AI SaaS platform for U.S. healthcare . We’re working closely with domain experts and clinicians to launch our MVP.

Now looking for a Co-Founder & CTO to join at the ground floor.

**** PLEASE NOTE: Fractional CTOs, IT consulting, Product development or Startup Advisors DO NOT APPLY . For us, there is no substitute for bringing on an equal co-founder—this is non-negotiable.****

🎯 What You’ll Do

  • Technology leadership – Define and execute the product architecture, tech stack, and AI integration strategy.
  • Product development – Build and scale the MVP into a secure, compliant, enterprise-ready SaaS product for healthcare facilities.
  • AI & automation – Drive innovation using LLMs, predictive analytics, and clinical decision support.
  • Integrations – Lead integration with EHR systems (Epic, Cerner, Meditech) via FHIR APIs.
  • Team building – Recruit, mentor, and scale a high-performing engineering team in U.S. and India.
  • Process & compliance – Build HIPAA compliant infrastructure, ensuring enterprise-grade reliability and data security.
  • Co-Founder role – Be part of every strategic decision from fundraising to go-to-market.

✅ What We’re Looking For

  • Hands-on full-stack engineering leader (7–10+ years) with proven experience in SaaS or healthtech.
  • Strong background in AI/ML, data engineering, and cloud-native architecture .
  • Experience with EHR systems, FHIR/HL7, or healthcare data standards is a big plus.
  • Entrepreneurial DNA – you want to build a company from zero to scale as a true co-founder (bonus if you’ve been a founder before).
  • Ability to thrive in ambiguity and move fast in an early-stage environment.
  • Passion for solving real-world healthcare problems with technology.

🎁 What We Offer

  • Ownership & Salary: This is a true co-founder role with equal ownership (~30% equity ). A salary will begin once we raise capital.
  • Opportunity to build from the ground up alongside repeat founder (Stanford alum, VC-backed track record, multi-sector experience).
  • A massive global market – healthcare workflow inefficiencies and staffing shortages are one of the biggest systemic challenges worldwide.
  • Early exposure to a strong network of advisors, clinicians, and investors in the U.S. and beyond.
  • A chance to shape one of the first AI-native healthcare platforms with global scale potential.

Location: Our base is San Francisco, though the role can be managed remotely until we take off.

Visa Sponsorship: At this stage, we are not in a position to sponsor visas .

This is not just a role. It’s a chance to co-create a company that could transform the way care is delivered.
