Python Developer

About Asha Health

Asha Health helps medical practices launch their own AI clinics. We're backed by Y Combinator and 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 exceptional engineer to join our engineering team (currently 6 teammates). We're looking for someone who is an all-rounder, but has particularly exceptional backend engineering skills.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to build state-of-the-art AI agents, and learn what it takes to build an industry-leading multimodal, multi-agent suite.

Responsibilities

You'll wear many hats. Your responsibilities will fall into 3 categories:

Full-Stack Engineering (80% backend, 20% frontend)

• Lead the team in designing scalable architecture to support performant web applications.
• Develop features end-to-end for our web applications (Typescript, nodeJS, python etc).

AI Engineering

• Develop AI agents with a high bar for reliability and performance.
• Build SOTA LLM-powered tools for providers, practices, and patients.
• Architect our data annotation, fine tuning, and RLHF workflows.

Product Management

• Propose, scope, and prioritize new feature ideas. Yes, engineers on our team get to be leaders and propose new features themselves!
• Lead the team in building best-in-class user experiences.

Requirements

You do not need AI experience to apply to this role. While we prefer candidates that have some AI experience, we have hired engineers before that do not have any, but have demonstrated that they are very fast learners.

We prefer candidates who have worked as a founding engineer at an early stage startup (Seed or Preseed) or a Senior Software Engineer at a Series A or B startup.

Perks of Working at Asha Health

#1 Build cool stuff: work on the latest, cutting-edge tech (build frontier AI agents with technologies that evolve every 2 weeks).

#2 Surround yourself with top talent: our team includes senior AI product leaders from companies like Google, experienced physician executives, and top 1% engineering talent (the best of the best).

#3 Rocketship trajectory: we get more customer interest than we have time to onboard, it's a good problem to have :)
