What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Product Engineer position at HealthLeap AI?
HealthLeap is an AI start-up revolutionizing healthcare through predictive analytics, initially focused on disease-related malnutrition—a critical form of patient deterioration affecting virtually every hospital condition. Our mission is to maximize health outcomes globally by building a scalable AI platform that screens patients comprehensively using electronic health records (EHRs), labs, clinical notes, and more.
We're experiencing explosive growth, with contracts and pilots at top US health systems like Cedars-Sinai, Intermountain Health, Penn Medicine, and many others. We have unprecedented access to EHR data (far more than competitors: 10s of billions of tokens per hospital vast structured data across 100% of inpatients), positioning us to expand into additional conditions like pressure ulcers, congestive heart failure, infections, readmissions, and mortality predictions. With a unique strategy and no direct competitors (due to our 2 year lead and regulatory advantages), we are setting out to become a $100B company.
The Opportunity: As a product engineer, you’ll work closely with our team of 11 to ship features that build user love and drive meaningful clinical impact.
Responsibilities
Location: San Francisco strongly preferred (hybrid, 3 days in office)
