JotPsych: Background and Context

JotPsych | Spend less time on patient notes with our behavioral health scribe software

Role

We're looking for a Founding AI Engineer who can help us create and supervise agentic workflows that push the boundaries of what's possible in behavioral healthcare. We're focused on delivering real value to clinicians today through the automation of burdensome administrative work, and we’re building towards an entirely new category of software that improves behavioral health outcomes.

You'll be a critical part of our founding engineering team (member 3 or 4), working directly with our technical CTO. You'll be responsible for architecting, implementing, and orchestrating the AI systems that power our core product, focusing on building reliable, observable, and scalable solutions. Your mission will be to make AI feel natural, trustworthy, and useful to healthcare professionals.

That said, we’re an early-stage startup with a small team, so you’ll be working across the entire stack as well.

We believe in pragmatic AI development - we leverage the best available tools and APIs to solve real problems today. While we're doing innovative work, we're not a research lab (yet) - we're a product company focused on delivering immediate value to healthcare professionals.
