About this role
SIMBIE AI — VP of Engineering
NYC · Full-Time · Founding Team
About
There are never enough staff in a medical practice, physician or non-clinical, to handle all the work to be done — from reviewing patients’ test results, to calling patients to discuss them, to answering patient calls about scheduling and clinical questions, to calling patients to check if they’re taking meds rights. Simbie is the clinically intelligent AI voice agent that automates and expands all of this work, saving practices time and money while adding patient touchpoints that save lives, but that practices can’t afford human staff for. We're the first platform executing AI workflows requiring real clinical judgment, directly in the EHR.
We're YC-backed, distribution is proven, and we're signing customers faster than we can currently bring them live. That's the problem we need you to solve.
The Role
You'll own the full technical vision and be genuinely hands-on — architecture decisions in the morning, code review in the afternoon. You'll partner directly with a physician and a clinical operator who've already proven distribution. Not a figurehead: you build, you ship, you talk to customers.
Builder first. You sketch the MVP while the physician is still describing the workflow. Fast, demo-driven, unafraid.
Customer-close. You feel physicians' pain directly and translate it into product. Strategy and code — both.
Humble and collaborative. Strong conviction, no ego. You thrive partnering with a medical team that's already winning.
What You'll Own
Engineering team — hire and lead from scratch, set the culture
Data strategy — build the first between-visit clinical data layer; use it to improve models over time
EHR integrations — repeatable framework across EHRs; strategic calls on prioritization and TAM
Technical roadmap — architecture, AI/ML strategy, infrastructure
What We're Looking For
7+ years engineering, 3+ in technical leadership; startup experience essential
Deep AI/ML: LLMs, RAG, fine-tuning, agents, vector databases
Python primary; React / TypeScript a plus
EHR integrations (FHIR, HL7) and healthcare data — strongly preferred
Shipped production AI systems; comfortable with cloud infra and MLOps
Bonus: voice AI, multi-modal models, prior founder/founding engineer experience
What We Offer
Founding team equity + competitive salary
Full ownership of technical decisions
Hands-on build of core product to scale
Ownership over building out and leading the technical team
Small, high-trust team; latest AI tools and compute power
Join Us
We've done the hardest thing in healthcare: proven distribution. You bring the technical vision. Together we own the between-visit clinical data layer—and build the product that changes how medicine is practiced.
