Remote (U.S.) | Part-time to start, with a path to full-time | Cash + Equity
LIORA Health is building a human-led, tech-enabled care advocacy platform for women navigating chronic and complex health conditions. We match members with dedicated care advocates who help them prepare for medical appointments, join them virtually, and figure out what comes next. Our goal is to make personalized advocacy a proactive, accessible part of healthcare for every woman who needs it.
Why LIORA?
Women with chronic and complex conditions often spend years moving between specialists, repeating their histories, and trying to connect the dots across fragmented care. We’re building the support system that’s been missing, and the response so far has been strong:
- 1,500+ women, advocates, and partners on our waitlist
- 20K+ followers and 4M+ content views across our social channels, all organic
- Backed by prominent voices in women's health and an advisory board of leading clinicians and experts
- A working first version of our platform, with our founding member cohort launching later this fall
The role
You’ll be LIORA’s first dedicated engineer, working directly with our co-founders and Head of Product. We’ve built a first version of the platform, done extensive customer discovery, and mapped the core member and advocate experiences. You’ll take that foundation and own the technical direction from here, including the architecture decisions that will carry us through launch and beyond.
What you'll own:
- Own the full stack across our member, care advocate, and admin experiences, from frontend and backend to infrastructure, deployment, and monitoring
- Turn our first version into a production platform for our founding members and care advocates, covering intake, matching, scheduling, messaging, and real-time appointment support
- Lead our AI roadmap, building the intelligence layer that supports our care advocates, from synthesizing member histories to preparing for appointments to improving matches over time
- Design a data model that captures each advocacy interaction as structured, longitudinal insight, which is the foundation for better care and for LIORA’s long-term defensibility
- Build privacy, security, and HIPAA readiness into the architecture from the start, so the platform can scale from our first members to partnerships with health systems and employers
- Set engineering standards and make the build, buy, and rebuild decisions that will shape the platform as we grow
Who we're looking for
What you bring:
- Deep full-stack experience with TypeScript, React, and Postgres, along with backend services, APIs, and cloud infrastructure
- A track record of taking products from early versions to production with real users, including owning a product end to end with significant independence
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs, plus practical judgment about where AI adds real value in a product
- Fluency with AI-assisted development workflows
- A security-first approach to sensitive data, including access control, encryption, auditability, and system reliability
- Strong product instincts and comfort with ambiguity, with the ability to scope, prioritize, and ship in close partnership with our Head of Product
- The ability to explain architecture, tradeoffs, and timelines clearly to a nontechnical founding team
- Experience shipping LLM features in production, including retrieval, evaluation, and guardrails
- Digital health experience, especially with HIPAA, protected health information, or healthcare data standards like FHIR
- Prior experience as a founding or early-stage engineer
You don't need to check every box. We care most about your passion for healthcare and ability to build, take ownership, and grow with us.
What we offer
- Close collaboration with a small, deeply invested founding team
- A real say in product and technical direction from day one
- A part-time start with a clear path to a full-time founding role
- Cash and equity that reflect your experience and early contribution
