About Asha Health

Asha Health is building the future of self-learning for healthcare generative AI. We're backed by Y Combinator, General Catalyst, 186 Ventures, Reach Capital and many more. We recently raised an oversubscribed seed round from some of the best investors in Silicon Valley. Our team includes AI product leaders from companies like Google, physician executives from major health systems, and more.

About the Role

We're looking for an "insanely cracked engineer" to join our engineering team. We're looking for someone who is an all-rounder, but has particularly exceptional backend engineering skills. Our ideal candidate has built AI agents and leveraged clever engineering techniques to improve latency & reliability for complex workflows. This role will be in person working with the 2 founders 6 days per week, so safe to say you will get close! If you are a go-getter and have the intensity it takes to win, this role could be for you. If this does not align with your current goals it may not be the best fit and we would recommend you do not apply.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will have the opportunity to build state-of-the-art AI agents across several modalities. You will be horizontal across our engineering team, experimenting and implementing novel AI/ML techniques to improve performance and reliability of various AI agents. You'll get to wear many hats. Here is some of the fun stuff you will do:

Develop AI agents with industry-leading performance for high stakes use cases in healthcare.
Architect our data annotation, fine tuning, and RLHF workflows.
Push the bleeding-edge in what is technically feasible!
Act like a owner 94 propose ideas and call your own shots!
Impact hundreds of thousands (hopefully millions) of patient lives!
Win.

Requirements

Graduated with a bachelors in computer science or related degree.
Very strong backend experience, preferably in 0-1 or 1-10 environments.
Worked at an early stage startup (Seed - Series C) before.
Experience building AI agents before with a high degree for reliability (we will ask you to impress us with the clever backend engineering techniques you've used).
Must be ready to work in person in Manhattan, New York 5 days per week in person but 6 days per week total.

Bonus:

Built and scaled your own projects to significant revenue.
Understanding of US healthcare/health-tech.

Why the heck should you work at Asha Health?

#1 We92ve got problems. A lot of them. Particularly, the really tough, barely possible, yet really fascinating to engineer kind. Come live on the cutting bleeding edge. Everyone on our team pushes the boundaries of self-learning and applied AI within high stakes industries. We collaborate with leading companies in this space to unlock new capabilities every 2 weeks that weren92t possible before. Nearly all of our engineering work is on the cusp of applied AI: just barely possible, requires research & experimentation, but once we figure it out we ship it and it makes a lot of impact. #2 It feels good to care: A9cjob9d can sometimes feel like selling a piece of your soul for money. But when you join an early stage startup, you92re not really signing up for a job. You92re embarking on a 9cmission9d, an unrelenting pursuit in which you dare to try to bend the universe around your vision...
