Technical Leader: Fullstack Software Engineer (Co-founder potential)

About Us: Mission Driven + Backed by Top Investors and Advisors

We're a newly funded, stealth company on a mission to transform healthcare navigation in the U.S. We’re a mission-focused company. We aspire to create a better life for every American— we’ll dedicate our time and resources to this pursuit.

Founders:

• Cofounder: 2x-time founder, Ex-Facebook, ex-product growth at exited co for $600m+, worked at YC companies, founded UV filtration system, ex Morgan Stanley, and alumn @ Harvard University.
• Cofounder: 2x- founder exited, ex CEO of 500+ org with $50m in revenue, VC in Health, Harvard + Harvard Business School

How we operate:

• How we operate: believe in conscious leadership, GSD, and being highly focused on results with an understanding that you have to work hard, iterate, and ship as fast as possible.

Funding: Investors / Advisors: well funded and looking to be lean
- We've raised a VC round to be lean and mean. We have top angels/advisors from healthcare, fortune 500 companies, and exited founders.

Our vision:

Provide every American with a patient navigator to handle their healthcare needs. We're building a business-in-a-box platform leveraging AI for care navigators/patient advocates (think what [Alma]/[Headway] did but for navigators). The problem is huge: patient advocates are underserved, 130m Americans have a chronic disease and 90% of Americans are healthcare illiterate and need support navigating insurance and healthcare. Recent regulation allows payor unlock which is a big why now.

Our team is on the hunt for exceptional individuals – those rare few driven to make a real impact in the world. We're not seeking candidates whose primary goal is to work less or earn more. There are numerous well-paying, comfortable positions elsewhere; that's not the essence of our ethos. Our culture is intentionally shaped to elevate high performance and to inspire each of us to excel daily. Simultaneously, we're committed to avoiding the pitfalls of corporate excess. Bureaucracy is the enemy of enthusiasm and, ultimately, of our business's success. Staying lean and agile is crucial to fulfilling our mission. Our company pledges to always prioritize humanity's best interests, uphold ethical standards, and ensure fair treatment for all. We steer clear of engaging in social activism or assuming ill intent. Our focus is singular and steadfast: to develop and launch a meaningful, beneficial product
