Skills: Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, Docker, PostgreSQLFounding Engineer—Build AI-Native Ops for Mental Health (YC S21, $1M+ ARR) 🧠 Build AI-native care infrastructure. Ship for real patients. Operate at speed. ℹ️ TL;DR We're building the AI-native operations layer for psychiatric care. Not diagnostics, but what happens outside the visit—the real operational backend: scheduling, documentation, billing, intake, risk detection, and more.
