About this opportunity
Location: United States (required).
Type: Co-founder, equity-only
About us
Lapis AI Consults, a NYC-based AI consultancy focused on business-first AI implementation, is starting a new venture in medical technology. The venture is led by the Founder and CEO of Lapis, who brings product and marketing leadership along with a patient community and media presence.
We are looking for a technical co-founder to build the venture's first product from the ground up.
The problem we are solving
A rare neurological disorder is treatable and often curable. The problem is finding it. Current technology is the bottleneck.
We are building an AI-driven clinical decision-support system for a neurological condition that is frequently missed by standard testing, leaving patients without answers for years. The product combines patient-specific modeling, medical imaging, and patient-reported data to help patients understand their situation and clinicians decide what to investigate next.
The role
As technical co-founder and CTO, you will:
- Set the technical vision and architecture for the product
- Build the first prototype hands-on, then hire and lead the engineering team
- Own data security and HIPAA compliance from day one
- Partner with the CEO to recruit clinical advisors and research partners, and earn their trust as a peer
- Partner with the CEO to meet with investors
Must-haves
- US-based and authorized to work in the US. US citizenship or permanent residency
- Hands-on experience with probabilistic/statistical modeling, ML, neural networks, and quantifying uncertainty
- Strong Python experience
- Has shipped software that handles PHI or other regulated data, and understands HIPAA controls in practice
- A 0-to-1 builder: comfortable being the first engineer, then growing a team
- Can explain technical decisions clearly to clinicians, funders, and non-technical partners
Preferred
- Healthcare experience
- Physiological or physics-based simulation (experience with SciPy compartment models, FEniCS, OpenFOAM or similar)
- Structured data extraction
- Software as a Medical Device, FDA, or IRB-reviewed research experience
What we offer
- Co-founder equity with standard vesting, and the CTO title
- Build with bleeding-edge tools from day one
- Ownership of the technical vision from the first line of code
- A founder who brings patient community access, go-to-market and media visibility, so you can focus on the build
- Work that could change how hard-to-diagnose patients are finally diagnosed and treated
