Founding Engineer in Austin - ShiftRx

Overview

Yo, are you a cracked engineer looking to join a team of people that are highly delusional and passionate about what they’re building? Have you ever thought to yourself — “wow, I wish I could live all the bad parts of the TV show Silicon Valley”? Then do we have the role for YOU. We’re looking for a founding engineer to join our seed stage startup (we're funded!),

and go boots on the ground.

We’ve got a product, we’ve got customers, and we need some awesome engineers ready to take this to the next level.

You’ll be provided with constant access to caffeine, since our landlords are the coffee shop next door. Our office is also a converted garage, conveniently located on South 1st in Austin. And as our new founding engineer, you’ll get the opportunity to shape the technical foundation of this company. Our founders are former healthcare providers, and know the space they’re operating in.

We have fantastic advisors that have been operators at other unicorn startups, and a mortal kombat machine in office. Our culture is unlike any other — and our tight knit, talented team is eagerly looking forward to your applications.

We’ve got team members who were early at Stadium Goods (from seed to acquisition), and ones that have worked among the likes of Tiktok and Fi. We’re sure given our 10 employees — it will be difficult for you to figure out who.

If you’re an incredible IC, who thrives in a fast-paced and fun environment, and just happens to also be passionate about AI + healthcare — it sounds like this just might be a match made in heaven. We’re really looking for someone that’s excited to build something awesome with the team!
