Founding Product Engineer

Veedma•,

3d•$160,000 - $200,000•Remote

About The Position

Veedma is a telehealth practice focused on men's hormonal and sexual health. The product encompasses the entire patient journey, including intake, lab ordering, provider review, prescription management, patient-provider messaging, and billing. The company utilizes AI in two primary ways: the founders actively use Claude Code daily, and the production code integrates with OpenAI's API via Python for in-product features and content pipeline functionalities that benefit from LLMs. The role involves working directly with the founders, with the CTO reviewing code. The ideal candidate is proactive, takes ownership of issues, and is personally interested in men's health, hormone optimization, or longevity.

6+ months of daily, intensive use of Claude Code (4+ hours per day), including writing skills, wiring MCP servers, composing sub-agents, and maintaining CLAUDE.md files.

Experience shipping LLM features to real users, including production prompt engineering, evaluations, retrieval, structured outputs, and cost/latency budgeting.
