Software Engineer
Description of the role
We're looking for a software engineer to help us build the technical foundation of the company. You'll work directly with the founder and our Head of Engineering on the core product: the AI pipeline that ingests unstructured clinical notes, the analytics and worklist surfaces our customers use every day, and the integrations layer that connects us to the EMR systems where clinical data lives.
Responsibilities and potential impact
- Develop agentic AI systems that scrub medical record data to surface critical insights and then act on them to improve clinical efficiency and outcomes
- Build platform features that eye care practices rely on daily to enhance operations and patient care
- Assist with secure, HIPAA-compliant API connections to EMR systems
Mandatory qualifications
- Exceptional software engineering capabilities, especially in Python
- Experience using AI coding tools like Claude Code and Codex and building with language models
- Adaptable, self-directed, excited about building from the ground up
- Mission driven and genuinely excited about transforming eye care and reducing blindness through technology
Preferred qualifications
- Health tech experience is a plus, but not required, as you'll work directly with a trained ophthalmologist in this role
- Experience with TypeScript/React
- Experience with SQL and working with large datasets
- Experience with cloud platforms, especially Google Cloud Platform
What we offer
- Health, dental, and vision plans
- 401(k) plan
About the role
Visionairy is building the clinical intelligence layer for eye care. Our platform reads clinical notes and surfaces coding errors, clinical insights, and operational opportunities to increase practice revenue and improve care. We've raised venture capital funding and are live with several of the largest eye care groups in the country. Our founder is a Yale-trained ophthalmologist who has a deep understanding of the space, and our software engineers are top performers from Princeton, Stanford, and McGill.
