Role overview
Healthcare
Hey, I’m Shun, founder and CEO of Anima Health. 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.
What you will do
- Architect and deploy type-safe, full-stack applications using TypeScript, React, and Angular across both clinical and patient-facing web environments.
- Lead the end-to-end delivery of complex product features, from initial conception through to production on AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and SQS infrastructure.
- Optimize user experience and interface safety through disciplined version control, CI/CD practices, and dimensionality reduction at system interfaces.
Who this is a fit for
- Possesses expert-level proficiency in TypeScript and the Node.js ecosystem with a pragmatic approach to technical debt and tool selection.
- Demonstrates a relentless track record of shipping production-grade software and navigating ambiguity to solve complex algorithmic problems from first principles.
- Exhibits deep hands-on expertise in serverless cloud architecture (AWS) and a drive to master new technologies to solve high-impact healthcare challenges.
Why this role is remarkable
- Work alongside an elite technical team including YC founders and Cambridge MB/PhDs who have built self-driving vehicles and acoustic deep learning systems.
- Ship at incredible speed on a highly scalable, zero-ops serverless architecture that handles thousands of medical channels and real-time patient data processing.
- Contribute to a mission-critical platform that predated the vertical AI craze, utilizing a 2021 patent on active reinforcement learning for clinical excellence.
