Role summary
Planbase is seeking founding product engineers to build the AI-native operations layer for modern clinics. This early-stage startup role involves shaping the product and company, working directly with founders. You will ship fast, talk to customers, and own product surfaces end-to-end, from backend logic and data models to frontend experience. The ideal candidate has experience building complex products for real customers, maintains a high bar for quality, and is eager to contribute to a category-defining business in healthcare operations. Experience with AI/ML, Python, PostgreSQL, React, TypeScript, and AWS is required.
**Planbase is building the AI-native operations layer that will power every modern clinic in the U.S.**
* We’re already the operational backbone for **multiple healthcare organizations valued at over $1B.**
* **5,000+ doctors delivering care to 100M+ patients** are scheduled weekly through Planbase.
* **Customers love us.** Our top sales channel is unprompted referrals.
We’re hiring founding product engineers to help build the infrastructure behind the next generation of B2B software. This is a high-ownership role: you’ll work directly with the founders to shape the product, the company, and the way healthcare and staffing operations are run.
You’ll be among the first employees at an early-stage startup, which means challenge, uncertainty, and opportunity. This role isn’t for everyone — to be a good fit, you need to be hungry to move build, break and push boundaries.

### What you’ll do
* Ship fast, talk to customers, and build AI-powered features and workflows.
* Own product surfaces end-to-end — from backend logic and data models to frontend experience and UX details.
* Partner closely with founders to make product trade-offs and shape what gets built next.
* Help define engineering culture and grow the team.
---
### What kind of person we’re looking for
* Strong product taste.
* High-energy, opinionated, and fun to work with.
* You must have experience building complex products to hit the ground running.
* You’ve built real products for real customers, not just internal tools, integrations or side projects.
* You move quickly but maintain a high bar for quality — and expect the same from those around you.
* You want to help build not just a product, but a company and a category-defining business.
* Visa required but open to O-1 visa sponsorship for exceptional candidates (e.g., top-20 university, publications, or press). **If applicable, please mention how you meet these O-1 criteria in your application.**
