Job description

Location: Bay Area

Onsite

We’re working with a pioneering stealth-stage company in the Bay Area that is redefining how AI is evaluated in healthcare. Most medical imaging AI models today fail in real-world hospital settings because they aren’t rigorously validated. This company is building the evidence infrastructure to change that, tracking model behavior end-to-end, from early development to FDA submission and beyond, so AI systems are reliable, continuously evaluated, and focused on patient outcomes.

Founded by ex-Stanford AI Lab researchers, ex-AWS, with deep expertise in representation learning and working on LLM interpretability.

We are looking for a Founding ML Engineer to:

• Lead investigations into model behavior, failure modes, and uncertainty
• Deliver decision-grade evidence that informs FDA submissions and hospital adoption
• Work directly with medical imaging vendors and hospitals
• Combine hands-on ML skills with strong customer-facing judgment

To succeed in this role, we're looking for a genuine interest in rigorous evaluation/testing of ML systems, especially in medical AI.

This is a high-impact, high-ownership role, your work will directly influence real-world outcomes, FDA approvals, and how high-stakes AI is governed.

Compensation includes competitive salary $170k - $250k + meaningful early-stage equity (1–3%).
