Job description

About Us

At Blair AI, we’re rethinking patient and provider communication with AI. We believe that AI is a foundational transformation for how healthcare organizations will operate and behave. We believe in crafting superior experiences for patients and staff alike.

We build conversational AI Agents for leading healthcare organizations to automate and enhance patient facing experiences.

As Founding Engineer, you will work closely with the founding team to build and scale systems that can reach tens of thousands patient interactions daily.

What you’ll do

• Architect and evolve the platform: help design and scale systems, doing both 0->1 and 1->n scaling of our system
• Ship end-to-end features: from UI/Frontend (Next.js) through backend (NestJS || Serverless) down to DB (Postgres/Supabase) and integrations with services (AWS)
• Automate yourself out of grunt work: pair with Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT Pro, Cursor to cut boilerplate and speed reviews
• Collaborate with a tight-knit team: evaluate, prototype, and roll out the smartest tech for each problem - be it a new AI library, cutting-edge serverless runtime, or a design-system upgrade

Languages & Frameworks

• TypeScript, React, Next.js, NestJS, shadcn, Python
• AWS
• Supabase, PostgreSQL

What we’re looking for

• 2+ years of hands-on software engineering and system design experience.
• AI-native Software Engineers with good domain of AI tools for productivity.
• Product-first mindset: optimizes for end-user value and guides yourself as your own PM. Iterates on live data and user feedback, not just tickets
• Treats UI/UX quality as a first-class engineering metric, right alongside test coverage and performance
• Habit of reaching for AI tools (Claude Code, Codex, etc)

Candidates we tend to like

• Deep interest in solving real world problems with technology
• Strongly passionate about building and owning a product from end to end

We look for signs of extraordinary talent and curiosity more than any particular skill or experience.

Base salary range of CAD $100,000 - $150,000 a year plus meaningful equity and benefits.
