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
What we look for
- Comfortable with a wide-open mandate - this role looks different in month six than on day one
- Strong communication and relationship-building, with real follow-through
- Excellent research, synthesis, and structured thinking
- Operates in ambiguity without waiting for perfect instructions
- Willing to do unglamorous, high-value work
- Genuine interest in healthcare workflows, and the ability to learn the space fast
Nice to have
- Venture capital or business/strategy team experience
- Prior healthcare exposure
- Existing relationships with developers in health AI
- Experience in fast-moving startups
What you get
- Direct, daily work with the founders, plus exposure to board and investor conversations
- True zero-to-one scope - company-building, not function-executing
- Competitive salary and meaningful equity
About Optexity
Optexity 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.
