Engineer in Residence: BrioCare

What You'll Build

• A clinician-supervised, voice-first co-facilitator that manages turn-taking, pacing, and structured exercises during pediatric group sessions.
• Tech that keeps clinical judgment with the human provider at all times.
• Session data products such as participation tracking, summaries, and structured behavioral signals that support documentation without crossing into diagnosis.
• An initial telehealth workflow for social confidence or social anxiety groups for children ages 6-12.
• A care-delivery foundation that can expand into a broader AI-native pediatric provider model if early clinical and engagement results hold.

What You'll Do

• Build the MVP across real-time voice interaction, therapist UX, session orchestration, and data capture.
• Make product and system decisions that keep the AI inside a tightly supervised co-facilitator role rather than drifting into autonomous therapy.
• Work with clinicians and pilot partners to test whether the system improves engagement, consistency, and therapist capacity in real sessions.
• Design for healthcare trust: overrideability, auditability, operational controls, and clear boundaries around what the AI does not do.
• Work with AI Fund's build team on care-model wedge, technical scope, and route from pilots to a standalone provider.

What You Need

• Strong full-stack product engineering, especially on real-time voice or interaction-heavy systems.
• Demonstrated experience building GenAI products where behavior design, control boundaries, and safety matter.
• Product judgment for expert-in-the-loop workflows where the tool must assist without pretending to replace licensed professionals.
• Comfort moving from early prototype to real-world pilot with operational complexity.
• You actively use AI coding assistants and modern GenAI tooling as part of your development stack.
• US work authorization. We are unable to sponsor visas for this role.

Helpful but Not Required

• Experience with speech systems, voice UX, telehealth, behavioral health, or care-delivery workflows.
• Experience in regulated products, clinician tooling, or outcome-sensitive consumer products.
• Founder or founding engineer experience.

Who This Is For

A builder who wants to apply AI to care delivery rather than just workflow software.
Someone who understands that the wedge is not "AI therapist" but a tightly scoped, clinician-led system that improves participation and outcomes.

What to Know Upfront

• This is a 12-week, full-time, on-site residency in Mountain View, California.
• Not every residency becomes a company. The goal is to pressure-test the idea quickly and honestly with real users and customers.
• You will be building an AI Fund idea, not bringing your own startup idea into the program.
• The process typically includes a Builder Event or equivalent working conversation, then a 48-hour Builder Challenge, then panel review with AI Fund build leadership.
• The compensation is intentionally modest during the residency because the upside, if the idea works, is a founder-level role with meaningful equity upside.

Compensation

$10,000/month for 12 weeks ($30,000 total). This is a contract role during the residency. If the build leads to a funded company, the next step is a founder-level role with meaningful equity upside.
