About Sprinter Health:
At Sprinter Health, our mission is reimagining how people access care by bringing it directly to their homes. Nearly 30% of patients in the U.S. skip preventive or chronic care simply because they can’t get to a doctor’s office. For many, the ER becomes their first touchpoint with the healthcare system—driving over $300B in avoidable costs every year.
By using the same technologies that power leading marketplace and last-mile platforms, we deliver care where people are, especially those who need it most. So far, we’ve supported more than 2 million patients across 22 states, completed 130,000+ in-home visits, and maintained a 92 NPS. Our team of clinicians, technologists, and operators have raised over $125M to date investors like a16z, General Catalyst, GV, and Accel and enjoy multi-year runway.
About The Role:
We're looking for an entrepreneurial Data Engineer with interest in agentic AI and at least 5 years of general engineering experience who wants to make an impact as one of the founding engineers of our new AI-focused incubator teams. We want to make a difference in the lives of those falling between the cracks of the current healthcare system, and could use all the help we can get exploring how AI can help bridge those gaps.
*If you love working 0 → 1*, we want to talk to you. While our core products are already humming, we're always looking for new ideas to expand access to care. And as a "startup within a startup", our incubator teams will have all of the freedom of a seed stage startup, but with the unfair advantage of direct customer relationships with 6 of the 10 largest US health plans and access to much deeper resources.
Office Location:
We are a hybrid company based in the Bay Area with offices in both San Francisco & Menlo Park. We care about work-life balance, and understand that there will be times where flexibility is needed.
What you have done:
- Data Engineering: At least 5 years of broad experience
- Startup Culture: At least 1 year of experience working at the seed stage, whether as a cofounder or early engineer. An impatient desire to hack, scrappiness is a virtue!
- Technologies: Python and JS/TS (Join and help us decide!)
The interview Process:
- We aim to complete the interview process between 2-3 weeks. It will usually consist of:
- Recruiter Screen (30-Minutes)
- Hiring Manager Introduction (30-Minutes)
- Technical Assessment (45-Minutes)
