About Kivo Health

Kivo Health provides telehealth lung therapy to people with chronic lung disease.

Lung therapy is similar to physical therapy. It includes guided exercise and live education. Our 9-week, insurance-billed program connects patients to our therapists in real-time. We help patients feel better, get back to everyday activities and stay out of the hospital. Because we reduce hospitalizations, we save payers an average of $8k per patient.

We're working directly with UCLA, Stanford and other major health systems across 9 states. We're making money, growing quickly and are looking for engineers to scale our service to all 50 states.

Some more about us:

  • We're working directly with UCLA, Stanford and other health systems in 9 states.
  • We're well capitalized and have advisors from YCombinator, Cricket, Virta, and the COPD Foundation.
  • Vaughn (CTO) is a serial YC tech founder with an exit to Trulia, and Victor (CEO) is a Stanford-trained physician.
  • Our patients love us: "Kivo is a miracle to me... I could never have attended any other way."

If you want to work at a high-growth startup, and have a direct impact on patients' lives, come work with us! We're growing quickly, so this is a great opportunity to join early. Some similar companies that became unicorns are Virta, Somatus, Cricket, and Hinge Health (IPO May 2025).

That's what we do at Kivo Health.

Join our fast-growing AI healthcare startup that’s hit an inflection point – more demand than we can comfortably handle, including from national health systems and payers.

We're looking for a full-stack engineer to help us build AI-powered mobile and web apps for our tech-enabled healthcare clinic. 

Our ideal candidate has 3+ years of experience working with technologies like:

  • Python/Django/DRF
  • Typescript

  • You thrive in a fast-paced, results-driven startup culture.
  • You're excited to work on web tech and LLM apps.
  • You're excited to work directly with the company founders.
  • You have a strong desire to make a positive impact on people’s lives.
  • You realize that fixing healthcare is hard – but that just makes you more motivated!

We're not a good fit if:

  • You aren’t in Seattle or SFBay (or willing to relocate)
  • You only want to specialize in a part of the tech stack (e.g. frontend).
  • You prefer working at large companies.

Benefits:
