Full Job Description
WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT - You build the machine, not just the product. Your job is to make one great advocate do the work of ten. That's the company, not a feature. - Real founder equity and a founding seat. Genuine ownership, upside, and decision rights from day one. - A right to win, not a thesis. Medicare reimburses the coordination seniors' care has always lacked, but almost no one has operationalized it. We have provider pilots launching Q3 2026 and a model that works. - Your code changes patient outcomes. Fragmented care sends seniors to the hospital who never had to go. The software you ship in year one sits between a senior and a preventable crisis. COMPANY DESCRIPTION US older adults do not have a healthcare system that works as one. They move between independent doctors, specialists, pharmacies, hospitals, and insurers that never connect, so no one sees the full picture of their care. As a result, the hardest coordination work falls on patients and families instead of professionals. Families track medications, repeat histories, chase referrals, sort bills, and appeal denials. This leads to fragmented care, unnecessary costs, and avoidable complications. Wayfind https://wayfindcare.com creates the coordination the system never provided. We give every senior a dedicated advocate team led by a registered nurse and powered by purpose-built AI. The team manages appointments and follow-ups, reconciles medications across doctors, appeals denied claims, and catches issues early. The right specialist gets the full history in advance. Because Medicare covers Wayfind, most older adults can now get what only the wealthy have long had: a team whose whole job is making their care work. We're launching pilots with providers in Q3 2026, targeting a 25% reduction in avoidable hospitalizations and ED visits. ROLE DESCRIPTION You are the first engineer and a founding partner. You own the product and architecture end to end. You're building the system that makes one nurse
