Senior​/Software Engineer

Severe mental illness affects over 15 million adults in the United States. Schizophrenia. Schizoaffective disorder. Bipolar I. Treatment-resistant depression. These are the conditions the rest of healthcare has systematically failed to build for.

What makes this problem different from most of healthcare is that the tools to solve it do not exist. The clinical protocols, the measurement science, the precision medicine, the technology to deliver coordinated longitudinal outpatient care for this population. None of it has been built. This is a frontier problem, and it requires frontier science and care delivery to solve.

We are developing all of it. The care, the science, the technology.

Amae Health is a Series B, venture-backed Public Benefit Corporation delivering specialty outpatient care for people with severe mental illness through high‑acuity, in‑person clinics nationwide.

Our integrated model brings psychiatry, therapy, primary care, dietitians, and community support together under one roof. Leading health systems—including New York‑Presbyterian
, Cedars‑Sinai
, Mass General Brigham
, Novant Health
, and Common Spirit
—partner with us to expand this level of care.

Alongside care delivery, we are building the science and technology the field has long lacked—proprietary clinical protocols, novel measurement, and an AI‑driven data platform designed for severe mental illness.

The impact: fewer hospitalizations, greater stability, and more people living meaningful lives in their communities.

We are clinicians, operators, technologists, and scientists who chose Amae because the problem is hard and the stakes are real. We are not interested in incremental improvements to a broken system—we are redefining it.

Every function—finance, product, people, growth, technology—exists to serve one goal: better outcomes for the people we care for.

We are seeking a Senior/Staff Full‑Stack Software Engineer to help build and scale Amae Health's patient and clinic‑facing technology platform. In this hands‑on individual contributor role based in San Francisco (in‑person, full‑time), your work will be central to shaping how patients and families access our precision psychiatry services.
