Join the founding engineering team of a well-funded healthtech startup building the technical foundation for truly personalized preventive healthcare.

Backed by leading venture investors and founded by experienced operators from high-growth fintech and healthcare technology companies, the business combines whole-genome sequencing, 100+ biomarkers and clinical AI to help identify health risks before they become problems.

You’ll work directly with the founders in a high-autonomy environment, owning features from idea through to production across both patient-facing and clinician-facing products.

- A track record of independently shipping high-quality, end-to-end product features
- Experience building data-heavy interfaces, dashboards or complex user workflows
- Daily use of AI development tools such as Cursor, Copilot or similar
- Strong product judgment and the ability to turn a high-level problem and Figma design into the right technical solution
- A strong computer science foundation

Experience in healthcare, genomics, biotech or clinical data would be highly regarded, but is not essential.

Why consider it?

- Work on technology that could fundamentally improve how disease is detected and prevented
- Join a tight-knit, seven-person team where your work will have immediate impact
- Build alongside experienced founders who understand how to scale products and teams
- Own meaningful product decisions with minimal hand-offs or bureaucracy
- Receive a competitive salary of $180K–$250K plus approximately 1% equity
