About Planbase

Healthcare is the most over-administered and under-automated sector in the U.S. There are 10 admins for every doctor, spending hours each day stitching together spreadsheets, EHR exports, calendars, and Slack threads just to keep operations running.

We’re tackling this inefficiency head-on by building the AI command center for healthcare workforce operations — staffing, scheduling, payroll and compliance. An AI system of record that sees the full workflow and runs it.

We’ve started with virtual care, powering telehealth giants like OpenLoop and Thirty Madison. Now, we're laying the foundation for traditional healthcare facilities — where over $250B is spent annually on workforce operations, but outdated infrastructure and disconnected systems have kept clinical operations stuck in the past.

We’re beginning with the fastest-moving part of the system and building outward to reshape how operations run across the entire healthcare industry.

About the role

We're hiring a founding engineer to own and build the infrastructure powering the future of healthcare operations. This role takes intense commitment, but you’ll work directly with the founders to shape the product, the company, and the future of healthcare ops.

Our product sits at the core of our customers' operations. From day one, the code you ship will support thousands of doctors and impact the experience of over 100 million patients. What you build matters.


What you’ll do

  • Ship fast, talk to customers, and build at the frontier of AI.
  • Work across the stack, owning everything from core system redesigns – like rebuilding our ML forecasting architecture - to launching beautifully designed user-facing features.
  • Help define our engineering culture and support in growing the team.

What kind of person we’re looking for

  • You’re high-energy, opinionated, hungry, and fun to work with.
  • You have great product taste and deep experience with React.
  • You do whatever it takes to get things done fast, while holding a high bar for quality - and expect the same from everyone you work with.
  • You want to help us build a great product, great team, and a really big business.
  • You're joining the core founding team. We're early, so equity comp can increase with time.

Tech stack

  • LLMs: OpenAI, Anthropic
  • ML: LightGBM, Prophet
  • Backend: Python, Postgres
  • Frontend: React, TypeScript
  • Infrastructure: AWS
