About us:

- We are looking for a technical co-founder to build the venture's first product from the ground up.
- The problem we are solving
- A rare neurological disorder is treatable and often curable. The problem is finding it. Current technology is the bottleneck.
We are building an AI-driven clinical decision-support system for a neurological condition that is frequently missed by standard testing, leaving patients without answers for years. The product combines patient-specific modeling, medical imaging, and patient-reported data to help patients understand their situation and clinicians decide what to investigate next.

- Set the technical vision and architecture for the product
- Build the first prototype hands-on, then hire and lead the engineering team
- Own data security and HIPAA compliance from day one
- Partner with the CEO to recruit clinical advisors and research partners, and earn their trust as a peer
- Partner with the CEO to meet with investors
Must-haves:
- US-based and authorized to work in the US. US citizenship or permanent residency
- Hands-on experience with probabilistic/statistical modeling, ML, neural networks, and quantifying uncertainty
- Strong Python experience
- Has shipped software that handles PHI or other regulated data, and understands HIPAA controls in practiceA 0-to-1 builder: comfortable being the first engineer, then growing a team
- Can explain technical decisions clearly to clinicians, funders, and non-technical partners
- PreferredHealthcare experience
- Physiological or physics-based simulation (experience with SciPy compartment models, FEniCS, OpenFOAM or similar)
- Structured data extraction
- Software as a Medical Device, FDA, or IRB-reviewed research experience
What we offer:
- Co-founder equity with standard vesting, and the CTO title
- Build with bleeding-edge tools from day one
- Ownership of the technical vision from the first line of code
- A founder who brings patient community access, go-to-market and media visibility, so you can focus on the build
- Work that could change how hard-to-diagnose patients are finally diagnosed and treated

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
