About SimCare AI

We help medical schools and hospitals train students and doctors. For example, medical students practice on our AI simulations before they see live patients.

About the role

Ex-Founder at SimCare AI

About the Role

Ever built something from scratch, watched it grow, and thought you could do it again better? We're looking for founders who've been in the trenches and want to apply those battle scars to healthcare's biggest bottleneck from first principles.

Our Vision

SimCare AI is scaling all healthcare training and evaluation with AI patients that transform how clinicians learn. We're not just building a product—we're creating the new standard for healthcare evaluation and training.

From nursing students practicing their first patient interaction to seasoned doctors refining complex diagnoses, our platform is becoming the backbone of clinical skill development. And we're just getting started. Our north star? 

Becoming the universal evaluation layer for all of healthcare—from undergrad classrooms to hospital hiring, from employee onboarding to training the next generation of AI systems.

You'll Thrive Here If:

  • You've founded something before—successfully or not. The lessons are what matter.
  • You can switch between big vision thinking and getting your hands dirty with implementation.
  • You're comfortable with ambiguity and making decisions with imperfect information.
  • Building things people actually use brings you genuine joy.

Signs This Isn't For You:

  • You're looking for a calm 9-5.
  • You need extensive onboarding and hand-holding—we move too fast for that.
  • Process is your religion—we're still figuring out what works as we scale.
  • You prefer maintaining stable systems over building new, sometimes messy solutions.
  • You're looking for a purely technical role with no strategic input or vice versa.

Why Join Now?

We're already working with 40+ institutions (including a 7 figure contract) that are using our AI patients daily. We’re drowning in inbound and hit scaling problems weekly.

What we are building will be in the future – here is your opportunity to be a part of it being done and being done right.

If you've built something before and want your next chapter to transform healthcare training while working with a team that respects your founder experience—we should talk.

Technology

We build AI patients primarily using LLMs but also VLLMs, text to speech and vision models. A big part of what we do involves making the patients more intelligent, more realistic, and medically accurate - this involves lots of algorithmic thinking as well as fine tuning for the LLMs. The patients exist within a simulated environment which is built on Astro and Node.
