Job description

Arul Health is building an agentic AI platform that helps patients and caregivers handle the frustrating, time-consuming logistics that come with serious and chronic illness.

Think appointment scheduling, prior authorizations, insurance navigation, prescription refills, and financial assistance applications. Arul combines AI agents with human care navigators to help patients spend less time fighting healthcare bureaucracy and more time focusing on their health.

And they’re looking for an early Founding Full Stack Engineer to help build it.

What you'll do:

This is a true player role, so expect to spend plenty of time actually writing code.

• Own major pieces of the product from idea → production
• Build polished, intuitive experiences using React
• Develop backend services with Python/FastAPI
• Help architect Arul’s AI agent platform and infrastructure on GCP
• Build AI agents that tackle real tasks like prior auths, prescription refills, scheduling, and financial assistance
• Talk directly with patients, caregivers, partners, and care navigators to figure out what actually needs to be built
• Help establish engineering standards around testing, deployment, security, and HIPAA compliance
• Work closely with the CEO to shape product and technical decisions
• Help build the engineering team as Arul grows

What matters most:

Design-engineering craft and front-end polish are priority #1.

We're looking for someone who doesn't just want software to work. You want it to feel good to use.

Ideally, you bring:

• 1–2+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong full-stack skills across frontend, backend, and infrastructure
• Excellent React skills and an eye for clean, thoughtful UX
• Strong ownership and comfort operating without a 47-page instruction manual
• The ability to move quickly, make decisions, and thrive in early-stage ambiguity

Experience with LLMs, AI agents, healthcare, or healthtech is a major plus, but you don't need to check every box.

Extra points for

• Healthcare or healthtech experience
• Previous startup, founding engineer, or first-engineer experience
• Experience with React, Python/FastAPI, GCP, or agentic AI systems
• A background or genuine interest in art, design, or beautifully built products

The important stuff

This is early-stage startup life, not a “close the laptop at 4:59 and disappear into the mist” kind of role.

You should be comfortable with:

• 5 days/week in person in Boston
• The pace and intensity of an early-stage startup
• 0.5%–1% equity

Why Arul?

You'll be joining early enough to have a real fingerprint on the company.

You'll help establish the architecture, engineering standards, product experience, and culture while building AI that solves real problems for real patients.

Small team. Big ownership. Meaningful mission. Lots of code.

If that sounds like your kind of chaos, let's talk.
