Job description

At Zenith Health, we're changing the way that real-world pregnancy data is captured and used to improve maternal and infant health outcomes. We're building a platform that empowers pregnant individuals to access existing information and evidence on health outcomes in pregnancies, as well as contribute their experiences to a growing body of evidence. There are millions of real-world data points being generated every day across the millions of pregnancies happening each year — ranging from medication usage and safety to symptoms and health complications — and we believe these hold the key to advancing maternal and infant health outcomes. Our aim is to bridge these existing information gaps by better leveraging data points from the real world, and improve the maternal health evidence base to drive more informed decision-making in pregnancy.

We’re passionate about transforming the way pregnancy and maternal health data is captured, understood, and used to improve patient health, and we are backed by Shaper Capital on our mission.

By joining Zenith, you’ll be part of a collaborative, passionate team of people who are smart, nice, and can get things done. If you’re driven by a desire to make a tangible impact on patients and medical research alike, and are excited to be part of a high-growth startup, we’d love to hear from you.

About the Role

As an early member of our team, you’ll play a key role in building and shaping our platform. You’ll interact directly with users, understand and be excited by our long term vision, and build a product that helps to empower women with better resources and access to real-world data during pregnancy.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain a robust, secure, and scalable event-driven, cloud-based platform comprised of a variety of front and backend integrations and services.
• Collaborate with our team to define technical requirements, set priorities, and drive the adoption of best practices in code quality and documentation.
• Understand and champion the needs of our users, advocating for best-in-class UX/UI, accessibility, privacy, and security throughout the product development process.

About You

• You bring 3-5+ years of experience building, maintaining, and supporting customer-facing full-stack web applications using cloud-native and DevOps best practices.
• You thrive in an early-stage startup environment: you’re excited to speak directly with users and customers, you’re ready for high degrees of ambiguity and a fast-paced environment, and are able to pivot quickly to take advantage of new opportunities.
• You have strong judgment, are highly proactive, and are excited to operate with more responsibility and fewer rules – no job is too big or too small.
• You are eager to actively contribute to building and growing a world-class engineering team and culture, and shaping Zenith’s success.

Preferred Experience

• Prior startup experience, especially in a remote and/or seed-stage environment.
• Experience with server-side web frameworks such as Elixir Phoenix or Python Django/Flask.
• Experience with functional programming paradigms and languages such as Elixir, Python, or Clojure.
• Experience building domain-specific AI applications, based on the latest LLMs and RAG techniques.
• Experience with a variety of database technologies, including relational and NoSQL.
• Prior experience with healthcare technology, healthcare privacy regulations, and/or healthcare data frameworks like FHIR and/or HL7 is a bonus, but not required.
