Product Backend Founding Engineer at Kensai - The Operating System for Health Commerce

Biology is universal, but regulation is local. Kensai is building the operating system for health commerce to help brands launch globally with a single 'Golden SKU.' As the third technical hire, you will be the Architect of Ground Truth, building the data engines and scraping pipelines that power their AI reasoning layer. If you have 4+ years of experience, a hacker's soul for breaking through messy government data, and want a 1-2% stake in a stealth-mode startup, this is your chance to build the foundation of a category-defining company from the ground up.

Overview

Role overview
