About Phoebe

Phoebe is modernizing America's home healthcare infrastructure. This is the coordination layer for one of the largest labor markets in the country.

We're looking for hungry, high-throughput generalist engineers as we scale into the multi-millions over the next 6 months.


About You

We're looking for hungry, high-throughput generalist engineers as we scale into the multi-millions over the next 6 months. You might want to start your own company one day, but aren’t sure what to build yet. You might have spent time at a larger unicorn and want to join a fast growing startup with PMF.

You will:

  • Get a clear view into engineering, product, go-to-market, and the iterative loop that connects all 3

  • Learn the Vertical AI playbook

    • how to embed into an industry, learn the domain, and build LLM-driven workflows to automate it.

    • How to generate demand with modern GTM techniques across B2B and B2C


What You'll Build

  • Voice and SMS agents that automate the 24/7 shift lifecycle (confirmations, clock-ins, notes, last-minute coverage)

  • LLM orchestration across prompt engineering, tool use, context management, and evals that keep agents reliable as we scale

  • Internal ops tooling so our team can monitor agent performance, handle edge cases, and onboard new customers fast

  • Reliability and observability improvements across our voice and messaging infrastructure

  • Full-stack features from data model to API to UI, shipped to real customers within days

 

Your First 90 Days

  • Month 1: Ship something real. You'll pair-program with the team immediately and ship features within your first week. By the end of month one, you'll own a complete feature from design to production.

  • Month 2: Go deep on the orchestration layer. You'll improve reliability and observability across our voice and messaging stack, and contribute to how we evaluate agent quality at scale.

  • Month 3: Take ownership. You'll scope and lead a feature area yourself, such as a new EHR integration, an improvement to the talent agent product, or better tooling for our ops team.

 

Our Tech

  • React / TypeScript / Vite on the frontend

  • FastAPI / Python on the backend

  • Postgres (RDS)

  • Twilio for voice and SMS

  • LLMs throughout

  • AWS

  • Linear, Notion

 

You're a Good Fit If

  • You're a strong generalist who can work across the stack

  • You stay on the cutting edge of AI dev workflows and love using coding agents to automate engineering, observability, and the entire development workflow.

  • You ship fast and iterate based on real usage

  • You're comfortable with ambiguity and figuring things out as you go

  • You've worked with LLMs in production (or are eager to)

  • You want to be early at a company that's growing very quickly


What We Offer

  • Interesting, high-leverage work at a company growing very fast

  • Above market salary

  • Small team where your work ships to customers immediately

  • In-person in NYC - we work in the same room

  • Multiple second-time founders to learn from - Justin (CEO) sold Bayes (YC S19) to Airtable. Dave built and sold Kamana, an app for travel nurses.
