Staff / Senior Software Engineer - Gradient Health
About The Position
Gradient Health is building the data infrastructure for medical AI. Their platform gives AI developers access to millions of de-identified medical imaging studies sourced from hospitals and clinics, so they can train better models on more diverse and representative data. Gradient works with hospital data partners on a revenue-share basis and sell curated, labelled datasets to AI companies and research teams. They’re growing fast at 5x YoY with a team of 50 people across Durham, Cape Town and Sao Paulo. They are led by exited founders Joshua Miller and Ouwen Huang and CTO Sai Cheemalapati (ex-Google). They all worked together at their previous startup FarmShots exited to Syngenta. The role Gradient is hiring a Staff or Senior Software Engineer (Data Processing) reporting to the CTO Sai and eventually managing part of their 15 person engineering team. You’ll write code every day, take ownership of significant parts of the platform, and help shape how the team works as it scales. This is a chance to join one of the fastest-growing companies in medical AI data infrastructure. Within six months you’ll start mentoring junior engineers and leading the technical design on new product areas. The role stays hands-on — this is not a step away from coding. Success requires a highly entrepreneurial mindset and care to uplift others on the team. This role is remote, open to candidates in US Eastern, Central, or Southern time zones. The team gets together in person regularly.
