Founding Engineer

Founding Engineer Opportunity

EQL Tech is partnering with PhormAI to hire an exceptional Founding Engineer to join its team as the company builds Darwin, its Physical AI platform for Health & Wellness, into the technical backbone of a multi-vertical health intelligence business.

PhormAI is building Darwin to ingest multimodal sensor data — wearables, video, IMU, ECG — and generate clinical-grade insights through agentic AI. The platform is already live with paying customers across two distinct verticals: animal health (equine cardiac monitoring) and human health (tele-ICU intelligence deployed across multiple hospitals), with the architecture designed to extend into further verticals by swapping domain-specific ontologies rather than rebuilding the stack.

You'll be PhormAI's Founding Engineer. Reporting directly to the founders, you'll own the technical foundation of the product — the data and model pipelines, cloud infrastructure, developer tooling, and the application layer built on top.

• Data pipelines:
  Build the pipelines that ingest, process, and transform data for the models.
• Cloud infrastructure:
  Stand up and operate compute, storage, networking, and deployment from scratch.
• Orchestration:
  Build the layer connecting ingestion, training, inference, evaluation, and serving.
• Operational foundations:
  Establish CI/CD, monitoring, logging, and alerting from the ground up.
• Application layer:
  Contribute to APIs, services, and user-facing surfaces on top of the platform.
• Technical strategy:
  Make foundational architectural decisions in direct partnership with the founders.
