- This is not an EA role, and not a narrow sales or marketing role — it's a hands-on operator role for someone who can take an ambiguous business problem, structure it, and drive it to a result, working directly with the founders.
- Build relationships with private equity firms active in healthcare — especially those owning multi-location clinics or hospital groups — as a channel into the market
- Develop long-term relationships with hospitals and clinics; understand their workflows and pain points before and during deployment
- Build a developer-adoption strategy: engage directly with developers building in health AI, learn what they need, and turn that into adoption
- Source, screen, and run early conversations with candidates for open roles
- Run market research to find new avenues for growth and partnership
- Represent Optexity at industry events, conferences, and developer communities — and convert conversations into pipeline
- Own ambiguous, cross-functional projects that need speed, judgment, and persistence — whatever matters most that week

- Optexity is a product-driven research lab building clinical reasoning and computer use models on data no other lab can reach. We deploy directly inside clinics and hospitals — including systems with no APIs, using integration infrastructure we've built and open-sourced — and in return become their preferred partner. That gives us proprietary clinical reasoning trajectories from practicing physicians, and a feedback loop between real patient encounters, our models, and the products built on top of them.
- We're a small, fast-moving founding team with multiple published papers in NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR etc and background from Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, CMU, IIT.
- We are backed by world-class investors and leaders like Jeff Dean, Neotribe VC, PearVC, Together Fund and Zapier Fund.
- Customer obsession — we start with the customer and work backwards
- Intellectual honesty — ideas matter more than titles; we communicate directly and assume good intent, even in disagreement
- Bias for action — we build and learn with customers rather than debate in the abstract
- Extreme ownership — we own outcomes, not just tasks, and see problems through
- Partnerships, developer community, recruiting, and market research all sit on the founders' plates today, alongside product and engineering. We need someone to own that surface area — not run a fixed playbook, but build one as they go.
- Comfortable with a wide-open mandate — this role looks different in month six than on day one
- Strong communication and relationship-building, with real follow-through
- Excellent research, synthesis, and structured thinking
- Operates in ambiguity without waiting for perfect instructions
- Willing to do unglamorous, high-value work
- Genuine interest in healthcare workflows, and the ability to learn the space fast
