Full Job Description

đź“‹ Description

  • • Own end-to-end external and market-facing projects with no existing playbook, from problem scoping to final delivery, where ambiguity is intentional and clarity must be created.
  • • Build real, shipped products, systems, or business lines — not strategy documents or recommendations — with direct ownership of technical execution and outcomes.
  • • Research unfamiliar domains from scratch, structure complex problems, and produce actionable outputs that drive multi-million dollar initiatives forward.
  • • Operate AI-first: fluently leverage modern AI tools to automate workflows, accelerate development, and build solutions that would have previously required months of manual effort.
  • • Work across functions including product, engineering, clinical, operations, legal, and finance, moving where the project demands without waiting for formal authority.
  • • Make decisions under uncertainty with incomplete information, commit to a path, and adjust quickly based on real-world feedback and results.
  • • Write clearly and structurally to translate ambiguous, high-stakes situations into aligned, actionable plans that leadership can execute.
  • • Maintain relentless focus on execution: do the hard work yourself, avoid delegation of core build tasks, and hold yourself to standards of excellence that prioritize impact over perfection.
  • • Drive zero-to-one initiatives where no template exists, building from first principles and owning outcomes from concept through customer impact.
  • • Operate with radical ownership: anticipate needs, initiate action, follow through with precision, and deliver results that directly affect the company’s mission and member outcomes.
  • • Prioritize clinical precision and data accuracy in all deliverables, ensuring that every output meets the highest standards of integrity and reliability.
  • • Embody a member-first mindset by designing solutions as if caring for someone you love, prioritizing human clarity, responsiveness, and outcomes over internal convenience.
  • • Continuously replace outdated workflows with faster, AI-enhanced alternatives, staying ahead of industry norms and setting the pace for technical innovation.
  • • Maintain a track record of building things that exist in the real world — products, companies, technical systems — with verifiable outcomes and measurable impact.
  • • Align all work with the mission of preventive healthcare and early cancer detection, ensuring every project contributes meaningfully to extending healthy lifespans.

🎯 Requirements

  • • STEM degree in computer science, engineering, math, physics, biology, chemistry, or a comparable technical field with proven hands-on work experience
  • • 7–10 years of experience owning and driving hard, ambiguous, high-stakes projects to completion
  • • Demonstrated history of building and shipping real products, companies, business lines, or technical systems from scratch
  • • Fluency in using modern AI tools to build, automate, and ship work faster than traditional methods
  • • Strong written communication skills with a portfolio of clear, structured, and actionable written work
  • • Deeply mission-driven, with genuine belief in preventive healthcare and early cancer detection as a critical societal priority

🏖️ Benefits

  • • Base salary of $180,000 – $220,000
  • • Stock options
  • • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans for employee and family
  • • Wellness and commuter benefits
  • • Competitive vacation policy
  • • Professional development budget for continued learning
