Circle Health is Hiring Founding Engineers

Hybrid – 2-3 Days/Week in NYC 🗽
About Us

At Circle Health, we’re on a mission to ensure every mental health and addiction recovery facility can run with zero back-office admin work — freeing clinicians to focus on what truly matters: helping patients heal.

We’re building AI agents that empower healthcare workers — from ASAM-compliant and coded charts at the point of care to real-time auditing records for prior authorization eligibility to ensure clinics get paid faster. Our tools reduce administrative time by 90%, cut documentation delays from weeks to minutes, and are already being used by some of the top SUD, behavioral health agencies, and billing companies in the country.

We’re supported by leading VCs— the same investors who’ve funded some of the fastest-growing AI and healthcare startups. Our team has developed AI products at Prepared911, Walmart Global, and Bausch Pharma, and now we’re bringing that expertise to transform healthcare

Our DNA
  • Obsessed with outcomes. We partner with clinicians, administrators, and compliance teams to solve the right problems — focusing on unmet needs and measurable impact on time saved, claim acceptance, and compliance accuracy.

  • Relentless problem-solvers. No blockers, only solutions. We tackle the hardest problems first and find a way through.

  • Ship fast, learn faster. We move with urgency, get real-world feedback early, and refine until it’s right.

  • Autonomy with camaraderie. High trust, high ownership, and a shared commitment to each other’s success.

  • Mission over everything. We’re here to make healthcare better — not just more efficient, but more human.

How We Work

We’re a lean, high-ownership team where every person shapes the product and company. Expect:

  • Minimal bureaucracy, high autonomy. We trust you to own your work.

  • Direct customer exposure. Engineers have the option to join sales calls, visit clinics and learn first hand of the opportunities to innovate

  • Hybrid rhythm. 2-3 days/week in our NYC space to collaborate deeply, experiment rapidly, and build lasting professional relationships.

  • Flexible when it matters. Need to ship from home to hit a deadline? No problem. We don’t clock in and out — we solve problems that matter.

What You’ll Work On

As a founding engineer, you’ll own major product surfaces end-to-end, with a focus on delivering a world-class product experience. You’ll work directly with the CTO and CEO to turn complex compliance workflows into simple, intuitive interfaces.

You’ll:

  • Design and build core UI features for our chart review dashboards, AI audit agents, and clinic health reporting tools.

  • Work closely with backend engineers to integrate APIs, AI outputs, and real-time data into seamless workflows.

  • Elevate product usability and design through attention to detail, performance, and accessibility.

  • Talk to customers, run demos, and translate feedback into fast iterations.

  • Help define our engineering and design culture from the ground up.

Who We’re Looking For
  • Strong experience in React / Next.js and modern front-end frameworks.

  • Excellent UI/UX sensibilities — you can take a rough concept and make it elegant.

  • Solid full-stack awareness — you’re comfortable touching backend APIs when needed (Supabase/Postgres or similar).

  • Thrives in 0→1 environments and enjoys wearing multiple hats.

  • Values speed, iteration, and direct impact over rigid process.

Bonus points if you:

  • Have experience building AI-powered products (OpenAI, LangChain, Pinecone).

  • Have worked in healthcare or other regulated industries.

  • Care about design systems, component reusability, and performance optimization.

Our Tech Stack
  • Frontend: React, Next.js, Tailwind

  • Backend: Supabase (Postgres + Edge Functions)

  • AI: LLMs, RAG Pipelines (Pinecone)

  • Infra: Vercel, AWS (select services), HIPAA-compliant hosting

Why Join Circle Health?
  • Massive impact: Your work will directly improve clinician efficiency and patient care.

  • Founding equity: Significant ownership as an early team member.

  • Speed + Autonomy: Minimal process, fast shipping, and freedom to own your work.

  • Visible results: See your work in live clinics within weeks.

Compensation & Benefits
  • Competitive salary + founding equity

  • Great health, vision, and dental coverage

  • Unlimited PTO

  • 401K

  • Free One Medical coverage

  • Pre-tax commuter benefits

  • Hybrid 2-3 days at our HQ in NYC 🗽
