Why CounselHealthcare was built for in-person encounters. 100 million people don't have a primary care doctor. A billion medical questions get searched on Google every day. We're building something better.
You'd be joining a small team doing real clinical scale — backed by a16z and GV, powering AI experiences for some of the biggest names in healthcare, and operating with the urgency of a company that knows exactly what it's building.
This is the kind of role where your work shows up in the product the same week you ship it.
Counsel is an equal opportunity employer. We believe diverse teams build better products and deliver better care. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences.
