We are a funded, stealth-mode personalized healthcare startup building a premium membership experience that combines clinical care, diagnostics, and longitudinal support into a single offering. We are founder-led and built for sustainable economics. More about what we are building will be shared during the interview process.

We move quickly, pressure-test our assumptions, and treat every decision as a hypothesis to validate. We expect direct communication, intellectual honesty, and a bias toward action. We are building a brand that people trust with their health, so craft and rigor matter. We respect lives outside of work and assume our team can manage their own time. Working hours overlap meaningfully with an international team, with flexibility on either side.

The Role:

We are hiring a growth and AI automation engineer to own the systems that turn marketing into members and members into long-term outcomes. You will build the growth stack, automate the operational connective tissue between our clinical platform, CRM, fulfillment partners, and member communications, and use AI to compress what would otherwise require a much larger team. You will report directly to the founder and work alongside our medical and operations leads. This is not a training program. You will learn by building, with full ownership of your domain from day one. You will work directly with an international founding team while based in Cape Town.

What You'll Do:

• Build and operate the growth automation stack: lead capture, segmentation, nurture sequences, attribution, and conversion measurement across paid, organic, and event-driven channels
• Architect AI-powered workflows that automate member onboarding, intake, communications, and retention touchpoints
• Design and ship internal tools that connect our clinical platform, CRM, fulfillment vendors, and billing into a coherent operational backbone
• Run growth experiments end to end: hypothesis, instrumentation, execution, and analysis
• Use AI for content production, member personalization, and operations leverage in ways that preserve our premium positioning
• Build evaluation frameworks for any AI-generated member-facing output so that quality, compliance, and brand voice are protected at scale
• Help shape the technical architecture as we move from MVP to broader operations

Who We're Looking For:

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Math, or a related field, or you have 1-3 years of relevant experience in growth, automation, or AI engineering
• A track record of shipping real things: coursework, side projects, hackathons, freelance, or early-career work
• Genuine depth with modern AI tools and understand the difference between a demo and a system that holds up in production
• Comfort writing code, configuring no-code and low-code platforms, and reasoning about funnels and conversion
• Systems thinking - able to hold the full pipeline in your head from ad impression through customer experience through retention
• Curiosity about healthcare, consumer brand, and the operator-led business model, even if you have not worked in those domains before
• Clear communication and a willingness to be wrong in public so the team can move faster
• Comfort joining a stealth-mode environment where the full picture comes into focus through conversation rather than a public website
• Experience with growth tooling (HubSpot, Segment, Customer.io, attribution platforms), AI agent frameworks, or healthcare-adjacent compliance is a plus but not required

What We Offer:

• A well-funded environment with the runway to build properly rather than cut corners
• Direct exposure to a founding team building a premium consumer healthcare brand
• A real seat at the table on strategy, not just execution
• Fully remote with flexibility in how you structure your week
• A small team that values autonomy, craft, and intellectual honesty
• The chance to define what AI-native operations look like in a category that has not yet been built
