Job description

Overview

Co-Founder & CEO Asha Health (YC F24) | Ex-Google, Ex-Facebook

About Asha Health

Asha Health is building the future of self-learning for healthcare generative AI. We're backed by Y Combinator, General Catalyst, 186 Ventures, Reach Capital and many more. We recently raised an oversubscribed seed round from some of the best investors in Silicon Valley. Our team includes AI product leaders from companies like Google, physician executives from major health systems, and more.

About the Role

We're looking for an insanely cracked engineer to join our engineering team. We're looking for someone who is an all-rounder, but has particularly exceptional backend engineering skills. Our ideal candidate has built AI agents and leveraged clever engineering techniques to improve latency & reliability for complex workflows.

This role will be in person working with the 2 founders 6 days per week, so safe to say you will get close. If you are a go-getter and have the intensity it takes to win, this role could be for you. If this does not align with your current goals it may not be the best fit and we would recommend you do not apply.

The cash compensation for this role ranges between $180,000 - $230,000.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will have the opportunity to build state-of-the-art AI agents across several modalities. You will be horizontal across our engineering team, experimenting and implementing novel AI/ML techniques to improve performance and reliability of various AI agents.

• Develop AI agents with industry-leading performance for high stakes use cases in healthcare.


• Architect our data annotation, fine tuning, and RLHF workflows.


• Push the bleeding-edge in what is technically feasible!


• Act like a owner — propose ideas and call your own shots!


• Impact hundreds of thousands (hopefully millions) of patient lives!


• Win.

Requirements

• Graduated with a bachelors in computer science or related degree.


• Worked at an early stage startup (Seed - Series B) before.


• Experience building AI agents before with a high degree for reliability (we will ask you to impress us with the clever backend engineering techniques you've used).


• Must be ready to work in person in Manhattan, New York 5 days per week in person but 6 days per week total.

Bonus

• Built and scaled your own projects to significant revenue.


• Understanding of US healthcare/health-tech.

Why should you work at Asha Health?

• Build at the bleeding edge: Push the boundaries of self-learning and applied AI for high stakes use cases. Nearly all of our engineering work is on the cusp of applied AI: just barely possible, requires research & experimentation, but once we figure it out we ship it and it makes a lot of impact.


• Surround yourself with a team that has exceptional AI & engineering talent, is backed by health system CMOs, is obsessively driven, and will always have your back.


• Work somewhere you care. Tired of changing buttons? It's time to change lives.


• Compensation & perks: competitive compensation & health insurance, and a beautiful workspace with top to bottom windows & water views in Manhattan.
