Compensation: $100,000 – $400,000 base (DOE; multiple levels)

About Ultrasound AI

Ultrasound AI is a mission‑driven health‑tech company advancing women’s health with practical, modern AI. We’re a small, fast‑moving team building tools that make care more accessible, accurate, and patient‑centered. If you care about impact and love writing clean, maintainable software, you’ll feel at home here.

The Role

We’re hiring elite “vibe coders”—engineers who can translate a concise spec into elegant, well‑tested code fast, using whatever tooling helps you move (including AI coding assistants). This role is hands‑on: fewer meetings, more building. You’ll design and implement back‑end systems, data/ML pipelines, and domain logic that stands up to real‑world edge cases and is easy for humans to maintain.

What “Vibe Coding” Means Here

  • Readable, literate code with small modules and clear names
  • Tests first (or very early): fast unit tests that pin behavior
  • Tasteful abstractions—no overengineering, no throwaway hacks
  • Inference from the spec: handle the logical edge cases we didn’t spell out
  • Effective AI usage: accelerate, but keep judgment and correctness

Day‑to‑Day (post‑hire)

  • Design and ship backend services, data transforms, and ML‑adjacent workflows (no pixel‑perfect UI work)
  • Write production‑quality tests and simple, resilient operational code (logging, metrics, retries, idempotency)
  • Collaborate tightly with product/clinical experts; turn ambiguous requirements into crisp, testable APIs
  • Keep codebases healthy: refactor, document, and reduce cognitive load for the next engineer

The Interview: 2‑Hour “Bring‑Your‑Own‑Rig” Build

Phase 1 (Onsite): You arrive with your laptop and preferred IDE/services. We reveal a concise problem statement at the start; you have 2 hours to deliver your best implementation.

  • Allowed: Your own computer, your IDE, your usual dev services, internet, AI pair‑programming tools (e.g., Copilot/ChatGPT), libraries you can legally use.
  • Focus: Back‑end / algorithms / data / ML logic—not UI.
  • Deliverables: Working code + unit tests + short README (assumptions/tradeoffs).
  • We grade: correctness, inferred edge‑cases, maintainability, and tests.

Phase 2: Discussion on design choices, tradeoffs, and how you used AI.

Before the interview we’ll send a brief prep note so you can confirm your environment Examples of Challenge Domains (you won’t know which one in advance)

  • Event dedupe & compaction: robust stream cleanup with idempotency and malformed handling
  • Rules/feature‑flag engine: small DSL + precedence + percentage rollouts
  • Token‑bucket rate limiter: precise boundary behavior with a testable clock
  • Cron “next run” calculator: DST/time‑zone edge cases without brute force
  • Double‑entry ledger core: invariants, decimals, idempotent transaction apply
  • GPU‑aware PyTorch batch scorer (optional): device selection (CUDA/MPS/CPU), inference‑mode, clean preprocessing

You’ll Thrive Here If You…

  • Write code that’s clear on first read, with tests that document intent
  • Move quickly without creating tomorrow’s maintenance problem
  • Use AI as a power tool, but keep a strong engineering bar
  • Enjoy small teams, direct impact, and building for clinicians and patients

Basic Qualifications

  • 3+ years professional software experience (or equivalent skill demonstrated in open‑source or prior roles)
  • Fluency in at least one of: Python, C++, TypeScript/Node, Rust, or Java
  • Solid unit‑testing discipline and familiarity with CI‑style workflows
  • Comfortable with data structures, concurrency/asynchrony, and system boundaries (files/queues/dbs)

Nice to Have (not required)

  • Experience with PyTorch (inference or lightweight training)
  • Familiarity with cloud/runtime patterns (AWS/GCP/Azure, containers), infra‑as‑code, or serverless
  • Security/privacy instincts appropriate for healthcare (HIPAA‑aware coding patterns)

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary: $100,000 – $400,000 USD (depends on level/experience)
  • Contract‑to‑hire: 90 days; strong performers convert to full‑time
  • Benefits on conversion: Health, Dental, Vision, 401(k), generous PTO/holidays, and a supportive, mission‑driven culture

How to Apply

Apply on Indeed with:

  • Your resume (or LinkedIn)
  • A short note (3–5 sentences) on why this role + women’s health resonates with you
  • Optional: links to code samples or repos you’re proud of (remove sensitive info)
