Founding Engineer – Full Stack | San Francisco (On-site)
$150k–$250k 3x market equity | Visa Relocation support
Our client is looking for one of the most ambitious early-stage AI startups in healthcare — backed by Khosla Ventures (investors in OpenAI & Stripe) and advised by some of the most respected names in oncology from UCSF, Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, and more.
They’re building something game-changing:
- An AI Cancer Doctor — a frontier decision-support platform bringing precision and speed to the fight against cancer.
- Currently piloting at UCSF Helen Diller and Bakar Cancer Center, with more top-tier hospitals lining up.
- Based in San Francisco’s Financial District, this is a 100% on-site role, working alongside a multi-time founder/CEO, ex-military CTO, and a world-class team.
💼 The Role:
As a Founding Engineer, you’ll:
- Build full-stack products end-to-end (Python/FastAPI, React/TypeScript)
- Own backend frontend, and ship at startup speed
- Engage directly with users (oncologists, researchers, patients) to inform decisions
- Drive the 0→1 journey of a product that actually saves lives
🔍 You Are:
- A top-performer with proof of excellence (e.g. class top 3, Olympiad wins, hackathon champ)
- A startup-first mind: high agency, bias for action, end-to-end builder
- Experienced at 0→1 in a startup, ideally as a Founding Engineer or Founder
- Curious about AI, healthcare, or both
🌟 Bonus if you have:
- Experience with healthcare data or multi-agent AI systems
- Prior exposure to large-scale datasets or oncology-related projects
💸 Perks:
- Equity 3x market rate, tailored to you
- Top-tier health/dental/vision
- O-1/H-1B visa sponsorship, relocation support, temp accommodation
