What are the responsibilities and job description for the Lead Software Engineer - Applied AI position at Sprinter Health?
We're looking for a Software Engineer with experience using AI systems who wants to make an impact on our new Automated Intelligence team. We want to make a difference in the lives of those falling between the cracks of the current healthcare system, and could use all the help we can get reimagining last-mile healthcare delivery.
*If you want to tackle tough technical challenges*, we want to talk to you. Health tech is challenging enough on its own, but add in DoorDash-style logistics problems at scale and the constraints of a distributed labor force working in patients’ homes and things get interesting quickly. We need someone to help solve the hard problems like how to:
📝 Synthesize rich, pre-visit clinical summaries for our NPs using LLMs over patient charts
🔍 Uncover care gaps and predict future risk with deep analysis of patient records
📞 Conversational patient support with AI voice assistants to ease visit coordination
🔮 Predict engagement behavior for optimized patient outreach
🤖 Orchestrate multimodal AI agents to streamline patient care navigation
If any of these sound interesting, Sprinter could be the right place for you. This is your chance to build something truly 0 to 1 at a company with meteoric growth.
Since just 2021, we've grown to:
👥 >50k patients served
🚀 6x revenue growth last year, 5x the year before
🌍 >60% coverage of the US population
🏥 6 of the 10 largest US health plans
🏦 >$70M raised from a16z, General Catalyst, GV, and Accel
*If you want to grow faster than you ever could at a big company*, we want to talk to you. If you're looking to get in at the ground floor of something big, taking on radically larger scope and growing with the company, the best way to do so is with real responsibility to make real decisions. As an engineer at Sprinter, you'll have that while working alongside other engineers and product managers from the likes of Google, Meta, and Amazon. With industry-leading growth to date and plenty of room still to grow, getting in now is a recipe for success.
*If you want to make a difference*, we want to talk to you. Jeffrey Hammerbacher was right: "The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads. That sucks." I've done the Google and Facebook thing for a decade. Was it personally rewarding? Absolutely. But now I want to do something more directly for others, which is why I started this company.
If any of this sounds like something you'd want to be a part of, just let me know. I'd really love to chat.
