Outro Health is the first platform dedicated to tapering off psychiatric medications, starting with antidepressants. Backed by Lionheart Ventures.
About the role
Outro has effectively had one engineer to date: our founding engineer, who built most of the patient product, clinician tooling, internal systems, and technical foundation. He is now moving into a Product Lead role focused on finding and shaping what we should build. He will still write code—prototyping ideas, launching experiments, and helping teams move quickly when software can unlock progress.
What they're looking for
- You are likely a strong Senior or Staff Engineer at an early-stage healthcare or technology company. You want to own engineering as a whole, but still love building and do not want to move into full-time management
- Shipped and operated substantial production systems,
- Strong judgment across architecture, data modeling, product engineering, and integrations,
- Real product instinct and comfort working through ambiguity,
- High standards for reliability, especially where software affects patient care,
- Serious experience building with AI tools—and know where they help and where they fail
More about this role
Own a large share of the software today, and grow into leading engineering as Outro scales.
Outro Health is the first company dedicated to helping people feel better by using less medication, not more. Our flagship program helps people safely taper off antidepressants and other psychiatric medications through specialist clinical care and purpose-built software.
Our clinical work is led by co-founder Dr. Mark Horowitz, one of the world's foremost experts in deprescribing and author of the field's leading clinical textbook. In our first year, we built a first-of-its-kind care model with real revenue, healthy economics, and research partnerships with leading health systems and universities.
Our software helps a small clinical team taper patients safely while reaching far more of them. Our next phase is refining that model and scaling it.
