About Nolla Health

From the first symptom to full recovery, Nolla guides you to the care you need now and helps you plan for the future. Every diagnosis and prescription is reviewed and approved by a licensed U.S. medical provider. Backed by General Catalyst.

About the role

This is an AI engineering role, not an ML engineering role. You won't be training models (unless you want to). You will wire LLMs and other custom models into production systems where the cost of getting it wrong is high, build the eval infrastructure that tells us when we're getting it right, and ship the backend surface area that keeps the product moving. You'll work directly with the founding team and your work reaches patients immediately.

What they're looking for

  • 4+ years of backend, platform, or product engineering experience
  • You ship your own things. You have a portfolio: side projects, open source, apps you launched
  • You've worked on small teams and built things from zero
  • Comfortable with the AI engineering toolkit: prompts, evals, tool calling, RAG, common LLM APIs. You have opinions on when each tool is the right one
  • Strong product instincts: you don't need a PM to tell you what to build, you can scope and ship
  • Strong TypeScript and Python
More about this role

Nolla is building AI doctors so that top-quality healthcare is accessible to everyone. Nolla Skin is the #1 medical skincare treatment app in the U.S. App Store. We've treated thousands of acne patients in the U.S., scanned 1% of Norway's population for skin cancer, and our in-house clinical models are state of the art on clinical benchmarks. We just launched NollaMD, our urgent care app, and we're building dedicated specialty apps for conditions like birth control and allergies. We raised a $4.5M seed from General Catalyst.
