About Foundation Health

Foundation Health is transforming healthcare through an AI-powered digital pharmacy platform that seamlessly connects operational infrastructure with high quality patient experiences. Our mission is to transform patient centric care by connecting fragmented infrastructure, optimizing care coordination, and removing friction from the patient journey.

This ambitious vision is only achievable with the dedication of the right team propelling us forward. We firmly believe that a supportive and inspiring work environment fuels creativity, transforming it into groundbreaking innovation. It is this very innovation that not only benefits our organization but also positively impacts our people, partners, and most importantly, our patients.

The Role

You'll be hands on from day one, setting technical direction, building production ML systems, and growing the ML team from the ground up. You'll work closely with our software engineers and product teams to ship ML features that solve real healthcare problems.

This isn't research-only or "AI for AI's sake" - it's production ML in a regulated, high impact environment.

Lead the technical vision for AI/ML and establish best practices

Build and mentor a high performing ML team

Work closely with backend and platform engineers on system design

Use tools like OpenAI, Langfuse, and GCP Vertex AI in real world applications

Ensure ML systems are reliable, testable, observable, and secure

What We're Looking For

Strong software engineering background with high coding standards

Experience building and operating ML systems in production

Solid understanding of system design, distributed systems, and architecture tradeoffs

Comfortable writing clean, scalable, well tested code

Proven ability to lead technically while remaining hands on

Clear communicator who enjoys mentoring and collaboration

Customer focused mindset with empathy for end users

Likely PhD level background (or equivalent experience) in ML, AI, or a related field

Nice to Have

Experience with cloud ML platforms (GCP Vertex AI, AWS SageMaker)

Knowledge of streaming data systems (Flink, Beam, Spark, Kafka)

Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, GitHub Actions)

Strong interest in security, privacy, and regulated environments

Experience with complex systems (e.g. payments, healthcare, finance)

Why Join Us?

First ML hire with real ownership and influence

Greenfield opportunity to define ML at a Series A company

Modern ML stack and real production problems
