We believe we can create breakthrough innovations in global health technology through grit, technical excellence, and teamwork. We seek out builders who share our ambitious vision.

About the Job

We are seeking an ambitious, self-initiated, and product-minded Senior Software Engineer with a track record of excellence at top technology ventures to join our Engineering team. In this role, you will originate, lead, and deliver on critical, 0-to-1 projects across the company while maintaining the highest level of communicative and operational excellence in your relationships with your fellow leaders.

You will work closely with the Head of Technology at Redesign Health and will work hours overlapping with Eastern Time. You will participate in a hybrid work environment at the Redesign Health Bengaluru office. Please note this is a contact to hire position.

What You’ll Do

• Redefine how AI startups are built in healthcare. You will design and ship LLM-based technologies to unlock one of the world’s densest and highest-impact repositories of healthtech venture knowledge. You will constantly raise the bar on the level of technical sophistication that we embody and offer to our founders.

• Architect the first AI-native healthcare venture builder. You will deeply understand the hardest parts of building global health technology ventures at scale and lead projects to supercharge our initiatives in areas from healthcare domain agentic deep research to LLM-led knowledge graph construction.

• Dream like an early startup engineer…but build with the institutional resources of an established player. You will build many (many) POCs, test hypotheses about the tools you build, and place informed bets about which problems need lower- or higher-fidelity solutions.

What You’ll Need 

We value and actively seek exceptional talent from all backgrounds and experiences, recognizing that excellence takes many forms. While diverse journeys inspire us, we believe the most successful candidates for this role will share the following characteristics:

• You hold a graduate degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or a similar field from an IIT, or were in the top decile of your class at a major global university.

• You have spent 5+ years in a senior technical role at a major venture-backed startup. Bonus points if you have previously founded your own startup and built a product from 0-1, or have worked in an investment environment.

• You are an expert in at least one modern language like Python and have become proficient in at least one LLM framework like LangChain.

• You are proficient in and have built apps on the modern data stack, for example AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Flask, Pydantic, Pytorch, Tensorflow, LangChain, Scikit-Learn, Pandas, and others. LLMs are a crucial part of your development environment.

• Technology is one of your passions, but you find deep meaning in some other pursuit to which you’ve devoted your time, thought, and effort; for example a creative or athletic outlet or a family business.

Who You Are

This role will be a great fit if the following deeply resonates:

• You are a relentless, startup-native technologist with a high tolerance for ambiguity and an even higher speed of execution.

• LLMs have rewired the way you get stuff done, and you’re constantly disrupting your own workflows.

• You are a systems thinker whose happy place is imagining new ways of capturing and capitalizing on data. Where others see dormant, siloed information, you see the potential for API integrations, beautiful visualizations, and delightful automations.

• You proactively architect software interfaces for both human and AI users.

• You have an outstanding executive presence and can skillfully elicit critical information about what to build. You help nontechnical leaders understand “the art of the possible” and they trust you because you deliver for them.

• You have thrived in a group of passionate, talented, diverse, and low-ego individuals because these kinds of people love working with you.

• You are deeply motivated to transform global healthcare and see technology as the true calling through which you can better the world.

• You have accomplished something that most people haven’t: whether you started a company, won an international academic award, performed music around the world, or overcame difficult circumstances to succeed, it is clear that you have dedicated your life to pursuing excellence in your craft.

It is rare to have an opportunity to truly, measurably change the world. We are so lucky to live in a time where all that stands between us and a lasting positive impact on millions of people is the right alchemy of passion, smarts, and hard work. We invite you to join us!
