Heavily focused on hiring sr/staff/principal backend, data infra, or MLE's at this time

Profiles of our team members: https://www.linkedin.com/company/layerhealth/people/

Recent article on our Series A round raise: https://www.mobihealthnews.com/news/layer-health-garners-21m...

Layer Health is an AI/ML startup (fresh Series A) leveraging LLM’s to transform how clinical data is understood and used. We’re tackling a huge inefficiency in healthcare—patient chart abstraction, a $2B/year problem. Today, nurses handle it manually, drowning in notes and reports instead of focusing on patient care. Chart abstraction represents the largest source of labeled data in healthcare; an ML/researcher’s dream for answering complex clinical questions (which his why much of our team has a deeply focused research/ML background).

Work Locations: Boston /Back Bay (beautiful office overlooking Boston Common) or NYC (Grand Central area). No remote work

Headcount: ~18; likely 40-50 by end of year

Stack: mostly React + Typescript Frontend / Python Backend // GCP (though we are not hiring frontend at this time)

Open Roles: Sr/Staff/Principal Backend/MLE/Data Architecture/Infra (1-2 roles each)* ML Research Engineering * Research Scientist (PhD's) * Head of Product * Product Designer
