Software Engineer, AI x Healthcare

Most job descriptions are jargon that no one reads. Let's cut straight to the chase.

About Asha Health

• What we do: At Asha Health, we help outpatient clinics transform into "AI clinics". What the heck does that even mean? Sounds like a good question for the interview process.
• We have more than ramen: Backed by Y Combinator, General Catalyst, 186 Ventures, Reach Capital and many more. Oversubscribed seed round, blah blah blah.
• We're not (completely) stupid: Team includes AI product leaders from companies like Google, physician executives from major health systems, etc.

About The Role

• You'll build AI agents.
• You'll built a lot of AI agents.
• You'll get super deep in healthcare workflows.
• You're going to have to be an insanely good product manager, designer, and backend/AI engineer all in one. 4.6 raised the bar a little :)

Who Should Not Apply

• The role is in person, most of the team works 6 days a week. We wouldn't advise most of our friends to join seed stage startups. If this level of intensity isn't your cup of tea, hit that X button.
• If you're just looking for a job without a particular passion for AI in healthcare, hit that X button.
• If you're looking for the highest possible comp, hit that X button.
• If you are not super confident in your engineering & product skills, for example if we asked you to build a production-ready version of Instagram in 2 days and that sounds difficult, hit that X button.

Who Should Apply

• You have some deep rooted passion to "fix the healthcare system!!"
• You are seeking rapid career growth and think that joining a seed stage startup + being a significant contributor in its rapid growth is the best way for you to get there.
• You are a builder at heart. No one needed to tell you in college/after college to do side projects. You didn't do them to get jobs, you just did them. Because stuff was cool. Because you cared.
• You value substance over dressing. Meaning you want to be part of a team which has an ethos to win by having the most merit, not the most marketing.

Responsibilities

Everything. You'd be the 7th engineer on the team; the product is obviously built and live with customers. But we're still small enough that we're looking for all rounders that take a high degree of ownership.

(Suggested) Qualifications

• Graduated with a bachelors in computer science or related degree from a top engineering school.
• 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.
• Built and scaled your own projects to significant revenue.
• Understanding of US healthcare/health-tech.

Compensation

Determined based on leveling. Yes, we're small but have a calibrated leveling process to keep the process fair for everyone.
