Associate Software Engineer

Transforming the lives of those affected by severe mental illness

At Amae Health, we are dedicated to helping the 15.4 million Americans living with severe mental illness (SMI) lead stable, meaningful lives, while ending the cycle of repeat hospitalizations. In partnership with some of the nation’s top academic medical centers we’ve pioneered an innovative outpatient care model that combines compassionate, in‑person psychiatric care with comprehensive wrap‑around support. Our integrated care teams — including psychiatrists, therapists, primary care physicians, health coaches, and peer support specialists — work together to treat the whole person via a unique model, addressing physical, mental, and social needs in unison.

By caring for every aspect of our patients’ well‑being, we help them not just survive, but truly thrive.

Amae Health is a Series B venture‑backed Public Benefit Corporation dedicated to becoming the nation's center of excellence for individuals living with severe mental illness (SMI). Backed by top‑tier venture capital firms and strategic healthcare investors, we collaborate with prestigious health systems including New York‑Presbyterian, Stanford Healthcare, and Cedars‑Sinai, underscoring our commitment to fundamentally transforming mental health care delivery at scale.

At Amae we are a collective of healthcare leaders and technologists on a mission to create a radically different patient‑first behavioral health care model that truly transforms patient’s lives by integrating care delivery, patient experience, cutting edge technology and research. Join a team of operators, builders and technologists from One Medical, Forward Health, Stanford, UCLA, Hinge Health, Palantir, The Four Seasons, and Brightline as we redefine care for the most vulnerable populations - across the nation, at scale.

As we expand our ability to care for complex patient populations, the core teams that support this work are also growing! We are seeking an Associate Software Engineer to help build and scale Amae Health’s patient and clinic‑facing technology platform. Central to shaping how patients and families access our precision psychiatry services, this role is fundamental to ensuring our solutions are both technically robust and adaptable to the evolving needs of care.
