About this role
About OptexityOptexity is a product-driven research lab building clinical reasoning and computer use models on data no other lab can reach. We deploy directly inside clinics and hospitals — including systems with no APIs, using integration infrastructure we've built and open-sourced — and in return become their preferred partner. That gives us proprietary clinical reasoning trajectories from practicing physicians, and a feedback loop between real patient encounters, our models, and the products built on top of them.
We're a small, fast-moving founding team with multiple published papers in NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR etc and background from Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, CMU, IIT.
We are backed by world-class investors and leaders like Jeff Dean, Neotribe VC, PearVC, Together Fund and Zapier Fund.
How we workCustomer obsession — we start with the customer and work backwards
Intellectual honesty — ideas matter more than titles; we communicate directly and assume good intent, even in disagreement
Bias for action — we build and learn with customers rather than debate in the abstract
Extreme ownership — we own outcomes, not just tasks, and see problems through
About the role
This is not an EA role, and not a narrow sales or marketing role — it's a hands-on operator role for someone who can take an ambiguous business problem, structure it, and drive it to a result, working directly with the founders.
Why this role exists
Partnerships, developer community, recruiting, and market research all sit on the founders' plates today, alongside product and engineering. We need someone to own that surface area — not run a fixed playbook, but build one as they go.
What you'll do
Build relationships with private equity firms active in healthcare — especially those owning multi-location clinics or hospital groups — as a channel into the market
Develop long-term relationships with hospitals and clinics; understand their workflows and pain points before and during deployment
Build a developer-adoption strategy: engage directly with developers building in health AI, learn what they need, and turn that into adoption
Source, screen, and run early conversations with candidates for open roles
Run market research to find new avenues for growth and partnership
Represent Optexity at industry events, conferences, and developer communities — and convert conversations into pipeline
Own ambiguous, cross-functional projects that need speed, judgment, and persistence — whatever matters most that week
