About this role
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a rare Founding Engineer (potential CTO) opportunity at a seed-stage, AI-native digital health startup focused on nervous system repair and chronic disease management. You'll be the second technical voice at the company — the person who turns a bold product vision into a production-quality AI mobile experience, and who defines the engineering culture and stack for the next decade.
You'll own the full technical journey: from shipping the first end-to-end AI coaching experience in a React Native app, to architecting the model and feedback loop that powers a real-time nervous system training coach using wearable biosignal data.
This role is in-person in Montreal, San Francisco, or New York City, and is central to everything the founding team builds.
