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.

Redesign Health is dedicated to launching AI-native healthcare ventures that transform how care is delivered and experienced. Like the startups we build, we embed AI deeply into all our operations, empowering our team to focus their creativity and expertise on the most complex challenges and high-impact opportunities. We're seeking curious, adaptable individuals who are excited to explore new ways of working, eager to constantly experiment, and committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible at the intersection of human ingenuity and artificial intelligence.

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 agentic development 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 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 are an expert in Python (and relevant frameworks like asyncio, FastAPI, PyTorch) and in at least one agentic framework (e.g., LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK, autogen, Google ADK/A2A).

• You are proficient in and have built apps on the modern data stack, for example AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Flask, Pydantic, Pytorch, Tensorflow, LangChain, Scikit-Learn, Pandas, and others.

• You have built stateful agentic workflows, MCPs, and LLM tool hooks; bonus points if you have a pre-LLM background in knowledge graphs and semantic search.

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

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

• 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:

Technology Innovator: You have a track record of proactively leveraging AI and other emerging technology tools to create extraordinary productivity and impact within your role. You have built systems and workflows for yourself more sophisticated than basic ChatGPT/LLM usage and are constantly experimenting with new ways to use technology to disrupt yourself.

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.

Additional Information:

This is a fully remote position. Full-time base salary of $180,000 plus a competitive equity & benefits package.

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!
