Improve patient outcomes with evidence-based answers from 60M+ peer-reviewed medical papers. Built by clinicians and AI researchers. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Every answer on Vera is a clinical decision being made by a clinician. That’s the bar. Not “mostly correct,” not “good on average.” We need to know exactly how the Vera behaves, where it holds up, where it breaks, and why. Think of the system like a chessboard with millions of different combinations. Different models, prompts, retrieval strategies, ranking, parameters, all interacting at once.
What they're looking for
- You don’t trust outputs you can’t explain
- You care about being right, not just being close
- You like working in messy spaces where there’s no obvious path
- You move fast, but you don’t compromise when the stakes are high
- You have strong technical depth in LLMs, search, or similar systems
- You’re excited to work at the edge of what’s currently being done
More about this role
Vera is the fastest-growing clinical app for healthcare professionals in the world. Five people built it.
We’re already operating at a scale most teams never reach, with a team most people would think is too small to pull it off. That’s by design. Everyone here runs at a level that compresses what would normally take entire teams. We keep it that way by only hiring people who raise the standard the moment they join.
We’re building the founding team. The people who join now will define how this company operates for the next decade, and shape the future of healthcare.
We move at a pace that feels unreasonable to most, and completely natural to the right people. If that pace feels natural to you, you belong here.
You can’t improve what you can’t measure.
