About Legion Health

We’re rebuilding psychiatry from the ground up—AI-native, insurance-covered, and engineered to scale.

Legion Health is a high-quality psychiatry network where patients get care from licensed clinicians, fast and affordably. Under the hood, our LLM agents and orchestration layer automate operations, reduce admin, and enable truly great care.

Most startups bolt AI onto broken workflows. We’re replacing the workflows—and the system underneath.

If you’ve ever wanted to use AI to actually fix something that matters, this is your shot.

🚀 Legion Health | AI-Driven Psychiatric Care – We’re Hiring!

**Join us in building the most efficient, AI-powered mental healthcare system.**
We’re a YC-backed company revolutionizing telepsychiatry—not with AI for diagnostics, but with AI-driven operations that actually make patient care faster, smoother, and more accessible.

We’re hiring top-tier engineers who thrive in high-velocity, AI-first environments and want to build technology that meaningfully improves lives. If you love shipping fast, working with AI, and solving hard problems, keep reading. 👇

Why This Role?

  • You’ll craft the UI that makes AI-powered mental healthcare feel intuitive, human, and seamless.
  • You’ll lead front-end architecture for our patient & provider platforms, ensuring world-class UX.
  • You’ll collaborate with AI engineers to design LLM-driven interfaces that intelligently surface insights.
  • You’ll optimize real-time workflows that help clinicians see more patients with less admin work.

What You’ll Work On

  • Building interactive Next.js 15 interfaces for our AI-enhanced patient portal & provider tools.
  • Designing & implementing real-time scheduling, messaging, and decision-support UI.
  • Developing reusable components & design systems that ensure accessibility, performance, and HIPAA compliance.
  • Optimizing for speed & engagement—our patients need fast, frictionless experiences.
  • Integrating AI into front-end workflows, allowing providers to instantly access insights from LLM-driven automation.

What We’re Looking For

  • 4+ years experience in modern front-end development (React, Next.js, TypeScript, TailwindCSS).
  • Deep UX/UI expertise—you know how to make complex workflows feel effortless.
  • Comfort working with APIs & real-time data (GraphQL, WebSockets, or event-driven architectures).
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted UX (LLM integrations, intelligent UI design, etc.).
  • HIPAA/security mindset (or willingness to learn—we handle PHI, so compliance matters).

What We Offer

  • $60-160K salary + 0.2-0.8% equity.
  • A role with true ownership—we want you to shape the future of AI-driven healthcare UX.
  • Work with cutting-edge AI & front-end tech.
  • A mission-driven company that’s solving real patient problems.
