About SiPhox Health
SiPhox is a series B-stage startup building frictionless blood testing for AI healthcare. We combine silicon photonics, microfluidics, embedded systems, and semiconductor-grade manufacturing to quantify multiple biomarkers in minutes on a coffee-maker-sized device. Our goal is to build the first mass-market photonic blood analyzer and dramatically expand access to precision diagnostics.
We are already in the market serving 10s of thousands of customers with a category-leading mail-in blood test, with 3x YoY revenue growth.
Our mission is simple but ambitious: make healthcare proactive instead of reactive by enabling people to measure their health frequently, easily, and affordably.
The Role
We're hiring a Director of Finance to run finance the way a great operator runs a factory — close to the metal, suspicious of every recurring line item, and ruthless about cash.
This is not a fundraising-deck role. It's not a controller role. It's a wartime operating role for someone who treats burn rate like oxygen, knows every vendor and headcount line by name, and protects each dollar as if it were their own — while still moving fast enough to enable aggressive execution.
Hardware companies bleed cash quietly: through inventory creep, engineering sprawl, duplicated tooling, low yields, vendor sprawl, unused software, and over-spec'd infrastructure. Your job is to see those leaks before they become floods, and to build a culture of capital discipline without creating bureaucracy.
You report to the CFO and partner daily with engineering, operations, and supply chain. You will spend time on the manufacturing floor, not just in spreadsheets.
What You Will Own

A Few Questions We'll Ask in the Interview
How We Work
Bias for action. We prototype, experiment, and iterate quickly. Extreme ownership. You own financial outcomes from forecast to close — and from PO to pallet. Talent density. We hire exceptional people who elevate the team around them.
Benefits
Competitive salary and significant equity, healthcare, dental, 401k, high-end gym membership, two company shutdown weeks each year on top of PTO, and the opportunity to help build a category-defining diagnostics company.
