About the role

Rise is looking for its first engineer. As the founding engineer, you’ll be responsible for partnering with our co-CEO to build our initial products as we rapidly iterate towards finding product market fit. Once we do, you’ll be responsible for scaling the function to help us scale efficiently. As our founding engineer, your job will not fit tightly in a JD. But some early responsibilities will include:

● Build our initial referral product for counselors

● Build our initial group therapy product that teens will interact with, answering keyquestions like how should we manage scheduling and how can we make theexperience engaging for teen users?

● Build our initial parent-facing product. We don’t yet know what we need to build tohelp parents feel confident in Rise. You’ll help us figure that out and then build it.

● Build our V1 clinical operations layer. To operate efficiently, we need to solveproblems with technology that most healthcare companies solve with humans. Build the tech that verifies benefits instantaneously, that creates price transparency for parents and students, that allows therapists to seamlessly take notes.

Ideal traits

● Thrives in ambiguity. If you’re energized by imposing structure in an uncertain, dynamic environment and making sound decisions with imperfect information, this role is for you.

● Low status, high grit. Going from 0 to 1 isn’t glamorous. You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and do the hard work required to ship new product as fast as possible. You’re excited to be on a team where everyone is all in and works very hard.

● Relationship obsessed. You care deeply about the people we’re building for and the team we’re building together.

● You love feedback. You’re excited about this job as an opportunity to learn. You seek out feedback as the best way to continue to grow.

● Strong product instincts. You are excited to operate in an environment where you have tremendous autonomy. You have strong instincts on the right way to build and can fill in ambiguity with strong questions and your own product instincts.

● You don’t like working at big companies where you’re responsible for optimizing a very narrow surface area of responsibility and you have teams of people supporting you

Ideal qualifications

● 5+ years of experience working at an early stage and high-growth startup

● Bachelors or advanced degree in computer science
