Head of AI

About Us

We're a stealth-mode, well-funded startup with a noble mission: to develop the first purpose-built, large language models (LLMs) and datasets designed specifically for psychotherapy. Founded by seasoned AI and healthcare entrepreneurs with a track record of creating and leading unicorns to successful exits, we're on a path to creating a safer, more effective collaboration between therapists and AI to support those in need.

At Jimini Health, you're not just joining a company; you're becoming part of a movement to transform mental health care. Our founding team, with deep roots in ML/AI, biotech, academia, and healthcare, is dedicated to creating a future where technology and empathy converge to meet the urgent needs of millions. If you're ready to make a meaningful impact and push the boundaries of what's possible in mental health care, we'd love to meet you.

Your Opportunity: 

Are you fascinated by the nexus of AI research and practical application? Do you harbor a deep-seated passion for mental health innovation? If you're nodding yes, you might just be the candidate we're searching for. Our chief scientist's paper in Nature Mental Health offers a peek into how we think about things.

We're inviting passionate AI leaders who stand at the dynamic intersection of research and application and have a fervent desire to make an impact in mental health. Ideal candidates bring a deep understanding and practical experience with modern LLM architectures, training, fine-tuning, and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) methodologies, as well as experience with fundamental ML methods and software engineering. This role is a perfect fit for those comfortable navigating both research-oriented and hands-on engineering. In leading AI at Jimini, you will need to lead, motivate, and build the right multi-disciplinary processes with data scientists, software/ML engineers, data curators, product managers, and psychologists. 

What We're Looking For

• Rapid Prototyping Skills: Experience quickly developing new models through supervised fine-tuning or equivalent methodologies. As the team is small, you must be highly effective in a hands-on capacity (for now).
• RLHF & Feedback Expertise: In addition to core ML & Stats & engineering fundamentals, some experience with RLHF and related methodologies and automatic and red-teaming efforts.
• Data Engineering and Production: Responsibility for deploying models into production and professional software development standards.
• Leadership: Ability to lead and influence complex multidisciplinary processes at the intersection of RLHF/feedback mechanisms, red-teaming, psychology, data curation, and data infrastructure. 

Key Responsibilities

• Product Development: Drive the creation of Jimini Health’s LLMs, collaborating with software and product teams to bring innovative solutions to market.
• Model Fine-Tuning: Enhance model performance through cutting-edge fine-tuning techniques to improve accuracy, empathy, and therapeutic efficacy and, when necessary, train models from scratch.
• Feedback-Process Creation: You will be in charge of creating the best processes around AI development, including how we red-team and give human feedback, how these get incorporated into models, how we structure data, and more.
• Collaboration with Healthcare Professionals: Ensure our AI aligns with psychotherapeutic best practices through direct collaboration with the field's experts.
• Ethics and Privacy: Commit to the highest ethical standards, championing privacy and bias-elimination in our AI models.

Why Jimini Health?

• Impactful Work: Contribute to solving the critical supply-demand imbalance in mental health services. With fewer than 250K professionals to support over 70M individuals in need, your work at Jimini Health aims to empower therapists to extend their reach and improve outcome assessment through our advanced, empathic, and, eventually, FDA-approved virtual therapist.
• Collaborative Environment: Engage directly with top psychotherapists to develop and refine an effective, evidence-based therapeutic model incorporating a human-in-the-loop approach.
• Innovative Technology: Lead the development of Jimini’s LLMs and proprietary psychotherapy interaction database, setting new standards for accuracy, empathy, and therapeutic value in AI-driven care.
• Ethics and Privacy: Uphold the highest data privacy standards and ethical AI practices, ensuring our models are bias-free and protect user data.
