HealthLeap is an AI start-up revolutionizing healthcare through predictive analytics, initially focused on disease-related malnutrition—a critical form of patient deterioration affecting virtually every hospital condition. Our mission is to maximize health outcomes globally by building a scalable AI platform that screens patients comprehensively using electronic health records (EHRs), labs, clinical notes, and more.

We're experiencing explosive growth, with contracts and pilots at top US health systems like Cedars-Sinai, Intermountain Health, Penn Medicine, and many others. We have unprecedented access to EHR data (far more than competitors: 10s of billions of tokens per hospital + vast structured data across 100% of inpatients), positioning us to expand into additional conditions like pressure ulcers, congestive heart failure, infections, readmissions, and mortality predictions. With a unique strategy and no direct competitors (due to our 2+ year lead and regulatory advantages), we are setting out to become a $100B+ company.

The Opportunity: As a product engineer, you’ll work closely with our team of 11 to ship features that build user love and drive meaningful clinical impact.

Responsibilities

  • Own our application layer, including the user-facing dashboard and internal admin panel, and the APIs, job queuing system, and PostgreSQL database that power them

  • Collaborate with product, clinicians, MLE, data, and infrastructure engineers to build new product features

Requirements

  • Experience in maintaining and owning entire application systems

  • Experience collaborating cross-functionally with other engineering teams and product

  • Experience building software from 0 to 1

  • Experience using AI coding tools like Cursor to build high-quality code

Nice-to-Haves

  • Background in applied AI companies with strong product traction (not hype-driven firms).

  • Experience working at early-stage healthtech startups

  • Familiarity with EHR schemas/standards (FHIR/HL7)

  • Exposure to AI/ML products in healthcare

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and generous equity (founding-employee level).

  • Comprehensive healthcare benefits - we cover 100% of premiums for employees

  • Unlimited Paid Time Off - we need you at your best at all times. Our recommended 20 PTO days per year allow you to schedule your work around your life.

  • 401K match of up to 4% of employee salary

  • Laptop and equipment budget to set up your at-home office environment

If you're excited to shape the future of AI-powered healthcare and drive real clinical impact in a fast-paced environment, we'd love to hear from you. Join HealthLeap and help us maximize the health of as many people as possible.
