About Vitalize

Vitalize is the one AI platform that unifies staffing, scheduling, flow, and capacity—replacing reactivity with proactive, optimized operations. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

Clinical leaders make hundreds of staffing decisions every day under time pressure using disconnected systems. We’re replacing that with software that reasons through the problem, recommends, and eventually executes the best next actions. You’ll own the decision engine behind those recommendations, turning messy operational reality into software customers trust with some of the most important decisions inside a hospital.

More about this role

Hospitals run on three things: their people, their beds, and their supplies… and all are still managed with spreadsheets, phone calls, and gut instinct. Vitalize is building the system that runs it all intelligently, starting with labor — the biggest cost (nearly 60% of a hospital’s P&L) and the hardest operational problem.

We’re building the labor and capacity operating system for health systems — forecasting demand, matching the right staff to it automatically, and coordinating patients across the hospital.

The impact is real: we save hospitals millions in unnecessary labor spend, give clinical leaders back 10–20 hours every week, and are often the reason staff and leaders stay. This isn’t a nice-to-have: our customers pay 5–15× more than legacy incumbents because Vitalize is mission-critical software their hospitals rely on every single minute.

We’ve raised over $32M from top investors, and even our own customers.

We hire and grow everyone against the same four values. Each one comes from a real Vitalize story—interview with us to hear them.
