- Has trained models before (not just fine-tuned APIs) and is fluent in Python
- Master's or higher in ML or a related field
- Energized by open-ended problems and ambiguity
- Wants to publish, not just ship

More about this role
Optexity is a product-driven research lab building clinical reasoning and computer use models on data no other lab can reach. We deploy directly inside clinics and hospitals — including systems with no APIs, using integration infrastructure we've built and open-sourced — and in return become their preferred partner. That gives us proprietary clinical reasoning trajectories from practicing physicians, and a feedback loop between real patient encounters, our models, and the products built on top of them.
We're a small, fast-moving founding team with multiple published papers in NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR etc and background from Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, CMU, IIT.
We are backed by world-class investors and leaders like Jeff Dean, Neotribe VC, PearVC, Together Fund and Zapier Fund.
Customer obsession — we start with the customer and work backwards
Intellectual honesty — ideas matter more than titles; we communicate directly and assume good intent, even in disagreement
Bias for action — we build and learn with customers rather than debate in the abstract
Extreme ownership — we own outcomes, not just tasks, and see problems through
Most research roles at this stage hand you a dataset everyone...
