This role is designed for a rare "unicorn" candidate: a licensed medical professional who has transitioned into a software engineering career. You should be a mid-level developer who is highly proficient in TypeScript and JavaScript, ideally with experience in the AWS serverless ecosystem (Lambda, DynamoDB). This isn't just a clinical advisory role; you will be expected to write production code and ship features end-to-end within a fast-moving, high-stakes health-tech environment. The standout feature of this position is the opportunity to work at the intersection of active reinforcement learning and precision medicine. You’ll join a "high-density" talent team of MD/PhDs and elite engineers in a fully remote, YC-backed startup. The company emphasizes extreme ownership and speed—expect to ship complex features in days or weeks rather than months—while leveraging a proprietary dataset to build a personalized medicine agent. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Hold a medical degree (MD/MBBS) but prefer building software to clinical practice. * Are a full-stack builder comfortable with Angular, React, and serverless Node.js. * Prioritize patient UX and real-world impact over "gold-plating" technical architecture. * Thrive in an "accelerator" style environment where you own projects from conception to deployment.
Hi, I’m Shun, founder and CEO of Anima. I left my career as a doctor because I was tired of seeing patients die from delays and misdiagnosis.
Our mission is to deliver precision medicine to anyone, anywhere, in under 24 hours. Our platform already serves millions of patients and 10xs the capacity of doctors. But the truth is, we’re just getting started. We’re building toward a superhuman, personalised medicine agent that could go well beyond humans, crunching tens of thousands of low level features at genome and transcriptome level.
We’re a tight crew of builders and operations working at the cutting edge of healthcare reinforcement learning and agentic AI, and we’re looking for exceptional people to join us. If you want your skills to have the highest possible stakes, you belong at Anima. Your work here will save lives. Period.
Do you want to build a product that will save lives?
Long before the "vertical AI" craze, we were obsessed with active reinforcement learning—a niche field in 2021 that the world, pre-ChatGPT, largely ignored.
Our trajectory has been unwavering since our YC application: achieving the "holy grail" of personalized medicine and deep phenotyping. This is powered by our proprietary active learning architecture - a system we codified in a 2021 patent that anticipated the Sparse Mixture of Experts (MoE) and active learning loops now foundational to modern LLMs.
While others are just arriving at the party, we’ve spent years executing a plan to build what is now one of the world’s largest, highest-quality labeled datasets. As a Clinical Engineer, you'll use your medical training to solve novel technical problems that will save lives.
We’re looking for someone who
We have 2 separate fully functional web apps in prod: one for clinical users and one for patients. Angular, React and Electron, Mixpanel/Posthog for analytics, a fully serverless backend in AWS (Cognito, Appsync GraphQL, Lambda, DynamoDB). We have good functional & unit test coverage and CI/CD.
