Sample transforms healthcare operations from a burden into a competitive advantage. The US leads the world in first launches of new treatments, yet our healthcare system sees clinicians spending 73% of their time on administrative work – we're on a mission to eliminate this friction that's choking America's engine of medical progress. We work with leading national providers, already have data from 75% of US oncology clinics, and our network is rapidly expanding across the nation.
Healthcare in America faces an existential challenge. As our population ages and chronic conditions multiply, clinicians and administrators shoulder an ever-growing burden under razor-thin margins. This administrative friction isn't just inefficient – it's dangerous. It leads to delayed diagnoses, missed treatments, and clinician burnout. As the pace of scientific discovery accelerates, maintaining America's role as the crucible of modern medicine depends on fixing these operational challenges.
We've built a platform that enables healthcare providers to create their own AI copilots, automating and accelerating their most critical operations. These copilots don't just speed up work – they capture valuable ground-truth data that makes our models smarter over time. As providers join our network, they become part of a network which can support patients across a network of specialists. Our rapid growth – hitting Series A revenue metrics just 10 months from launch – shows we're onto something big.
As a founding engineer at Sample, you’ll face healthcare's most important problems and be given the freedom to solve them. Here are some of the problems our engineering team is working on today:
Developing a visual programming language that lets healthcare providers build their own operational co-pilots
Training cutting-edge models for medical record reasoning
Creating pipelines that rapidly tune task-specific models using preference data from our co-pilots
These aren't just technical challenges – they're opportunities to reshape how healthcare operates. Success means diving deep into both the technical and domain complexities.
We're building a world-class team of engineers who are:
Technically brilliant: You solve hard problems with elegant solutions
Intensely curious: You dig beneath the surface to understand root causes
Delightful to work with: You make the team better by being part of it
Our founders were early engineers in past roles (engineer #9 at Retool, first employee at Ambience Healthcare) and know the value of investing in the early team. We use TypeScript, Next.js, Python (FastAPI), Redis, and Postgres, but we care more about your ability to master new technologies than your existing stack. We're looking for engineers who can choose the right tool for the job and aren't afraid to learn new ones.
Some things that would be nice to have:
2-4 years of software experience with a quality team. We also consider exceptional candidates earlier in their career.
Production experience with TypeScript, React, Python.
Experience (or at least interest) in working with LLMs.
At the moment, we're exclusively hiring to work in-person in San Francisco. We look forward to hearing from you, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out at recruiting@samplehealthcare.com
