Our venture studio, which is led by a unicorn healthcare Founder and former CEO, is launching an innovative stealth startup revolutionizing the healthcare industry through cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology. Our vision is to utilize AI and machine learning to submit prior authorizations for insurance to cover important medications, procedures, and more for patients. This should help the system with significant cost savings, and also boost outcomes.

In this role, you would be Co-Founder and lead engineering. This means you should be able to code hands on and build the product, all while also hiring and managing a small number of additional engineers.

Responsibilities:

• Build the initial product, in collaboration with your Co-Founder and CEO as well as the venture studio; you will work directly day to day with the CEO, who will be your equal partner, and the venture studio, including a unicorn Founder and CEO who will serve as the Chair of the Board
• Demonstrates a high tolerance for bold initiatives, such as starting new businesses, acquiring new, leading edge technologies, and investing in innovations.
• Able to build in a scrappy way, and quickly iterate based on customer feedback.
• Build small team of engineers as necessary; may rely on contractors or hired engineers, but you will effectively be the lead developer on the project from Day 1.

Qualifications:

• Grit: All RVS portfolio CEOs demonstrate a high level of grit and are able to run through walls to ensure the success of the business.
• Entrepreneurial Mindset: A unique level of passion and drive, with the ability to inspire teams and execute ambitious growth strategies.
• Industry Knowledge (Preferred): Experience in healthcare or related sectors is preferred, but not required.
• Ownership Mindset: Willingness to take full ownership of the product, collaborate closely with RVS & the CEO, and drive the concept to success.
• Healthcare Expertise (preferred but not required): Deep understanding of the healthcare industry, particularly in areas related to LLM.
• AI Experience (preferred but not required): Whether self-taught or in your professional experience, you have developed products using AI.
• MOST IMPORTANT: Unique level of passion & drive; able to motivate yourself and those around you to build incredible products & ensure that they are marketable.

What’s in It for You?

• Equity and Cash Compensation: While you will be a co-founder and receive significant equity, you will also be able to take a salary upon closing the first acquisition. Note that, for most, this will involve a salary cut until the operation is large enough to sustain a traditional Engineering Leader salary. We are looking for entrepreneurs who wish to take this from initial build of the product, to IPO, and beyond over the course of many years. This is a true Co-Founder position, but it is also funded from Day 1 that you would join full-time.
• Direct Access to Expertise: Work directly with the RVS Founder, who has extensive experience in building multi-billion dollar companies.
• Office Space and Resources: Access to office space in NYC’s Union Square, along with the support of the RVS network and portfolio.
