Job Description

You will build the hardware and software ecosystem required to run real-time AI inside clinical settings. By overcoming infrastructure constraints like power and cooling, you will move V1 from prototype to production. This role involves defining a new category of edge compute that puts intelligence directly in the exam room.

Location

San Francisco, USA

Why this role is remarkable

You will be one of the first ten employees, joining a pre-seed team currently closing a seed round from top-tier VCs.
This is a rare opportunity to build a full-stack hardware and software ecosystem from scratch for a June 2026 launch.
You will own the entire technical stack, making critical architectural decisions that define how AI interacts with physicians in real-time.

What You Will Do

Design and deploy systems orchestration, containerization, and firmware pipelines for high-performance compute in non-datacenter environments.
Optimize GPU acceleration and CUDA kernels to maintain sustained AI workloads under strict power and cooling constraints.
Build and manage production-grade RAG pipelines and distributed systems that ensure reliability during critical clinical decision-making.

The ideal candidate

Has 5-7 years of experience at top-tier tech companies, with a history of rapid promotions and ownership of complex systems.
Possesses deep expertise in at least two areas: GPU/CUDA acceleration, distributed systems, RAG/LLM pipelines, or 3D graphics.
Is a builder who takes smart risks and has a track record of creating high-impact open-source or personal technical projects.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
