The Reality

This is a startup. We move fast. We prioritize impact over polish. We expect:

Bias for action — ship, learn, iterate

Ownership — you design it, build it, run it

Pragmatism — solve real problems, not theoretical ones

Resilience — ambiguity comes with the territory

Healthcare is complex and broken. The work matters.
