Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the embedded clinical partner to a product pod , liaising between clinical, product, engineering, and licensed clinicians, and bringing systems-based, root-cause medicine principles into the build.
- Establish deep partnership with Engineering to design and run clinical AI evaluations. Define what “clinically meaningful” output looks like, set quality thresholds, build rubrics, and judge accuracy, clinical intent, omission, hallucination, and medication-safety failure modes against real data.
- Help translate clinical reasoning into technical specification — prompts, context and decision logic — partnering with engineers to identify where clinical logic must be embedded in AI systems rather than described around them.
- Own the clinical quality bar end-to-end for one or more AI product areas — from clinical requirements at kickoff through launch validation and ongoing monitoring.
- Flag when product behavior must evolve as evidence, guidelines, or the clinical standard of care shift.
Qualifications & Required Skills
- MD, DO, or equivalent clinical doctorate, with substantial hands-on clinical practice. You have carried real clinical responsibility for real patients.
- You have deep expertise in one or more clinical domains, ideally with an understanding of systems medicine approaches. You are someone who goes beyond symptoms and diagnostic codes, always striving to identify root causes of clinical imbalances in your patients and understand the multi-dimensional nature of health.
- You can apply strong clinical reasoning under timeline pressure and over long, dense tasks. You can separate what is established, what is plausible, and what is speculative, and educate the team appropriately on each.
- You are genuinely curious about how AI systems work and have a demonstrated ability to pick up technical craft quickly. Prior experience with LLMs, evaluation, or machine learning is not required — the willingness to learn it here, and the rigor to hold it to a clinical standard, is.
- You have exceptional communication skills. You have the ability to adapt clinical information for very different audiences — engineers, PMs, designers, and members.
- A track record of owning something end-to-end in a cross-functional setting and driving it to completion.
- You are comfortable with ambiguous and complex tasks, can operate autonomously under uncertainty on 0-to-1 projects, but know when to ask for support from the team.
Nice to have items:
You have experience interpreting complex blood biomarkers, advanced imaging, genomics, gut microbiome, and wearable data.
Any prior exposure to clinical AI products, LLM evaluation, or prompt and context engineering — a strong plus, but explicitly not a requirement; what matters is your curiosity and willingness to learn. We have exceptional internal training opportunities.
Background in longevity, functional, or root-cause medicine.
Prior early-stage or high-growth startup experience.
