Fullstack Engineer (Frontend-Focused)

About us

Layer Health is an AI startup spun out of MIT CSAIL, revolutionizing clinical documentation by leveraging the power of large language models. Having deployed our technology in real-world health systems, we've witnessed how the difficulty of accurately and efficiently extracting information from clinical notes affects all aspects of healthcare. We are building an AI layer that will radically speed up and improve the quality of extracting and synthesizing information from medical records, with the mission to reduce friction everywhere in healthcare, power the future of precision medicine, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. Our diverse founding team brings expertise across machine learning, large language models, medicine, and human-computer interaction.

We’re seeking exceptional engineers to join our seed-stage company as early members. Together, we will create the AI layer that will redefine healthcare for the better.
