Sprinter Health • San Francisco, CA

About The Position

At Sprinter Health, our mission is reimagining how people access care by bringing it directly to their homes. Nearly 30% of patients in the U.S. skip preventive or chronic care simply because they can't get to a doctor's office. For many, the ER becomes their first touchpoint with the healthcare system-driving over $300B in avoidable costs every year. By using the same technologies that power leading marketplace and last-mile platforms, we deliver care where people are, especially those who need it most. So far, we've supported more than 2 million patients across 22 states, completed 130,000+ in-home visits, and maintained a 92 NPS. Our team of clinicians, technologists, and operators have raised over $125M to date from investors like a16z, General Catalyst, GV, and Accel and enjoy multi-year runway. We're building a new Automated Intelligence team to embed AI into every layer of our care model-from clinical summaries and patient risk predictions to workflow agents and patient interactions. This is a 0-1 role for an engineer who wants to ship production AI systems quickly, work across complex healthcare and logistics data, and build tools that directly improve patient outcomes.
