About the Company

Redesign Health is a global venture builder that empowers founders to launch and scale transformative healthcare companies.  We help founders overcome the unique challenges of healthcare innovation with an ecosystem and suite of capabilities supporting ideation and diligence, commercial traction, and execution.  Since 2018, we have backed founders to launch more than 65 companies that have touched the lives of over 15 million patients and generated more than $1 billion in revenue. We believe we can create breakthrough innovations in global health technology through grit, technical excellence, and teamwork. We seek out builders who share our ambitious vision.

About the Job

We are seeking an ambitious, self-initiated, and product-minded Staff Engineer with a track record of excellence at top technology ventures to join our Engineering team. In this role, you will originate, lead, and deliver on critical, 0-to-1 projects across the company while maintaining the highest level of communicative and operational excellence in your relationships with your fellow leaders.

You will join a global team, reporting to the Head of Technology. Interested and qualified candidates may hire and manage additional engineers as needed.

What You’ll Do

• Redefine how AI startups are built in healthcare. You will design and ship LLM-based technologies to unlock one of the world’s densest and highest-impact repositories of healthtech venture knowledge. You will constantly raise the bar on the level of technical sophistication that we embody and offer to our founders.

• Architect the first AI-native healthcare venture builder. You will deeply understand the hardest parts of building global health technology ventures at scale and lead projects to supercharge our initiatives in areas from healthcare domain agentic deep research to LLM-led knowledge graph construction. 

• Create global patient impact. As a technologist-investor, you will source, assess, inspire, and close exceptional founders, then build alongside them to launch enduring, transformative health technology companies that serve millions of patients and providers around the world.

What You’ll Need 

We value and actively seek exceptional talent from all backgrounds and experiences, recognizing that excellence takes many forms. While diverse journeys inspire us, we believe the most successful candidates for this role will share the following characteristics:

• You hold a degree (or few) in Computer Science, Math, Physics, or a similar field from a top university.

• You have spent 6+ years in a senior technical role at a major venture-backed startup. Bonus points if you have previously founded your own startup and built a product from 0-1, or have worked in an investment environment.

• You’ve published high-impact papers or have made significant contributions to major open-source technologies (e.g., with tens of thousands of GitHub Stars).

• Your code is in production at global organizations or is used by thousands or millions of individuals

• You are an expert in at least one modern language like Python and have written and/or reviewed millions of lines of code. You have become proficient in at least one LLM framework like LangChain.

• You have built stateful agentic workflows more complex than basic RAG; bonus points if you have a pre-LLM background in knowledge graphs and semantic search.

• Technology is one of your passions, but you find deep meaning in some other pursuit to which you’ve devoted your time, thought, and effort; for example a creative or athletic outlet, or a family business.

Who You Are

This role will be a great fit if the following deeply resonates:

• You are a relentless, startup-native technologist with a high tolerance for ambiguity and an even higher speed of execution.

• LLMs have rewired the way you get stuff done, and you’re constantly disrupting your own workflows.

• You are a systems thinker whose happy place is imagining new ways of capturing and capitalizing on data. Where others see dormant, siloed information, you see the potential for API integrations, beautiful visualizations, and delightful workflows.

• You proactively architect software interfaces for both human and AI users.

• You have an outstanding executive presence and can skillfully elicit critical information about what to build. You help nontechnical leaders understand “the art of the possible” and they trust you because you deliver for them.

• You have thrived in a group of passionate, talented, diverse, and low-ego individuals because these kinds of people love working with you.

• You are deeply motivated to transform global healthcare and see technology as the true calling through which you can better the world.

• You have accomplished something that most people haven’t: whether you started a company, won an international academic award, performed music around the world, or overcame difficult circumstances to succeed, it is clear that you have dedicated your life to pursuing excellence in your craft.

It is rare to have an opportunity to truly, measurably change the world. We are so lucky to live in a time where all that stands between us and a lasting positive impact on millions of people is the right alchemy of passion, smarts, and hard work. We invite you to join us!
