About us

Lapis AI Consults, a NYC-based AI consultancy focused on business-first AI implementation, is starting a new venture in medical technology. The venture is led by the Founder and CEO of Lapis, who brings product and marketing leadership along with a patient community and media presence.
We are looking for a technical co-founder to build the venture's first product from the ground up.

The problem we are solving
A rare neurological disorder is treatable and often curable. The problem is finding it. Current technology is the bottleneck.
We are building an AI-driven clinical decision-support sysfor a neurological condition that is frequently missed by standard testing, leaving patients without answers for years. The product combines patient-specific modeling, medical imaging and patient-reported data to help patients understand their situation and clinicians decide what to investigate next.

The role
As technical co-founder and CTO, you will:
  • Set the technical vision and architecture for the product
  • Build the first prototype hands-on, then hire and lead the engineering team
  • Own data security and HIPAA compliance from day one
  • Partner with the CEO to recruit clinical advisors and research partners, and earn their trust as a peer
  • Partner with the CEO to meet with investors

Responsibilities

Must-haves
  • US-based and authorized to work in the US. US citizenship or permanent residency
  • Hands-on experience with probabilistic / statistical modeling, ML, neural networks and quantifying uncertainty
  • Strong Python experience
  • Has shipped software that handles PHI or other regulated data, and understands HIPAA controls in practice
  • A 0-to-1 builder: comfortable being the first engineer, then growing a team
  • Can explain technical decisions clearly to clinicians, funders and non-technical partners
Preferred
  • Healthcare experience
  • Physiological or physics-based simulation (experience with SciPy compartment models, FEniCS, OpenFOAM or similar)
  • Structured data extraction
  • Software as a Medical Device, FDA, or IRB-reviewed research experience

Qualifications

Compensation

What we offer
  • Co-founder equity with standard vesting, and the CTO title
  • Build with bleeding-edge tools from day one
  • Ownership of the technical vision from the first line of code
  • A founder who brings patient community access, go-to-market and media visibility, so you can focus on the build
  • Work that could change how hard-to-diagnose patients are finally diagnosed and treated

How to apply

Send a short note to info@lapisconsults.com with:
  • your LinkedIn, resume and a link to work you're proud of (GitHub, papers or a portfolio), and
  • one example of a model you built where being honest about its uncertainty mattered
  • a statement agreeing to equity-based compensation until we receive funding
