Clara is building the first AI-first medical practice from the ground up. We're reimagining primary care and providing patients with deep insights and immediate diagnosis and treatment in ways not previously possible.
Unlike most health AI startups, we deliver actual care — our clinical team writes prescriptions, orders labs, and manages patients. You'll build the data infrastructure that powers real medical decisions, not a demo.
Clara's founders have built and scaled a previous telemedicine company to over $100M in revenue and we're funded by top investors.
You'll own Clara's data foundation — the pipelines that ingest, normalize, and deliver patient health records to our AI and clinical team. Healthcare data is notoriously messy (FHIR bundles, CCDAs, scanned PDFs, lab feeds), and you'll turn that chaos into clean, structured data our AI can reason over.
You'll work directly with our clinical team — physicians and nurse practitioners who depend on what you build to treat real patients every day.
In your first months, you'll be building the data backbone that makes Clara's AI possible — integrating with health data networks to pull patient medical records in seconds, processing messy FHIR bundles and CCDAs into clean structured data, and building pipelines for lab results and clinical documents. You'll wrangle healthcare data in all its chaotic forms: scanned PDFs, XML feeds, JSON payloads, and webhook streams. Every pipeline you build feeds directly into our AI and clinical workflows, so you'll see the impact immediately when a doctor reviews a patient's complete medical history that your code assembled.
As Clara scales, your responsibilities will evolve. You'll have the opportunity to grow into engineering leadership, architect data systems for millions of patients, mentor new hires, and own increasingly complex integrations with health networks and wearables. The data challenges you solve today will look different from the scale problems you tackle in a year — and that's exactly what makes this a founding role.
Clara is an AI primary care and longevity practice from the team that founded and grew Circle Medical to $100M in revenue.
Our mission at Clara is to add one billion years of healthspan to humanity. We do this with an AI with deep clinical knowledge, coupled with the ability to sift through medical data to detect trends and patterns that could be missed.
Unlike Claude or ChatGPT, Clara can see your medical data and then act. Chat with Clara as you would a doctor and Clara can help with you make sense of symptoms, get medication refills, order and understand labs, and achieve health goals. Medical recommendations are preliminary until one of our human medical providers in the loop reviews and approves them.
