We are Ahead Health

Healthcare is broken. It's reactive, fragmented, and increasingly expensive. While we have more and growing health data than ever before, we're not using it effectively to prevent disease and optimize wellbeing.

That's why we started Ahead Health. We're building an AI-powered platform that transforms how people understand and manage their health, shifting from reactive treatment to proactive prevention and health optimization. By combining cutting-edge technology with medical expertise, we help people take control of their health journey before problems arise.

The product vision: personal concierge medical care, for everyone. Three key components: (1) a data vault with the most up-to-date picture of your health, (2) a trusted, high-quality single-point-of-care, and (3) the most insightful and helpful platform, bespoke to you.

We're excited to build Europe's leading preventative health platform, starting with Switzerland.

We’re backed by founders and execs from Hugging Face, Cradle, Google, DeepMind, Oviva, Stanford Medicine, GE, Philips, and Coda — as well as Tiny.vc and RTP Global.

Your role

The wealthy have always enjoyed better, more personalized healthcare. AI allows us to bring this to the rest of us. We aim to be Europe’s leading prevention platform.

As our Senior Product Engineer, you will shape the next development phase of our digital product and service. You'll own significant parts of the user experience and technical strategy, translating our goals into a product that our users will love and trust. You’ll work closely with our users, CEO, CTO, CPO, designer, engineers, marketing, and medical advisors.

We’re looking for someone who loves to ship, thrives in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment, and defaults to quick, data-informed iterations. You should be someone who cares deeply about all the little-big details, from system performance to intuitive micro-interactions, that separate a good product from a great one.

Responsibilities

  • Shape the experience. Build consumer experience, from ideation and implementation to iteration.

  • Scale business through user-love. Translate business goals and user needs into scalable solutions that users come back to.

  • Iterate relentlessly. Use data and metrics to drive engagement, retention, and acquisitions.

  • Drive AI innovation. Apply AI to enhance features, personalization, and engineering velocity.

  • Architect secure health-tech. Build modular, secure, and safe products for personal health.

Need to have

  • 5-7+ years of experience shipping impactful features, for consumer-facing digital products, that significantly improve user metrics, e.g. engagement and retention.

  • An innovative mindset and a strong experience of applying modern AI-powered approaches. We are a hybrid engineering team, half-humans half-AI.

  • Full-stack experience and deep expertise with modern frontend (e.g. React) and backend (e.g. Node.js) frameworks, for building data-heavy, intuitive UIs. Strong command of web-app and browser fundamentals.

  • Familiarity with modern logging, monitoring, and tracing tools.

  • Experience working with cloud (GCP preferred), RESTful APIs, etc, for high-trust applications.

  • Ability to design scalable and modular systems, which allow fast-paced iterative development.

  • Passionate about the health-tech domain

Great to have

  • You've built something from scratch before, whether as a founder, an early-stage employee, or on a new product line.

  • You have built and shipped mobile applications (esp. on iOS).

  • You have experience with growth engineering, such as user testing frameworks, user instrumentation, or SEO.

  • You've done something in your technical career that stands out, whether it's starting your own company, getting into an amazing university, or launching something that blew up on the interwebs

What we offer

  • Full-time, Zurich-based (relocation assistance negotiable). CHF 110K-125K + significant equity

  • The opportunity to shape the future of preventive health in Europe.

  • Small, experienced, technical, and mission-led team out of Google, Coolblue, Kaia Health, Oxford.

What kind of benefits does Ahead offer its employees?

Most importantly: generous equity, and, obviously, free health check-ups.

First, a quick video call to see if there's a match. Then, two video or in-person interviews with the founders. After that, usually a mini-project to collaborate on together - followed by reference checks and an offer.

It depends on the role; see the specification for more details. In general, we're building 2 main in-person hubs: Zurich and Munich - with flexibility to work from home regularly.
