Job Title: Lead Software Engineer – AI Focused
Department: Product/IT
Reports to: COO
Luna Joy is a leading provider of mental health services, specializing in supporting women through their mental wellness journey. We offer holistic therapy and medication management to help women overcome challenges like postpartum mental health issues. Our dedicated team of professionals works in a collaborative, flexible, and remote environment, ensuring comprehensive care for our clients. We are rapidly expanding and committed to improving access to quality mental health services across the U.S.
Founded by Dr. Sipra Laddha and Dr. Shama Rathi, who saw first-hand the gaps in maternal mental health while practicing as psychiatrists, you'll be working directly with them to translate clinical needs into code.
As a Lead Software Engineer with a specialization in AI, you will play a key role in designing and scaling intelligent systems that power our products. You’ll lead a team of engineers while collaborating cross-functionally with product, design, and data science teams to deliver production-ready features and infrastructure rooted in AI/ML. In your first 30 days, you will deploy a production-grade LLM pipeline to automate session summaries for our providers, saving 5 hours of admin work per week. By day 90, you will have scaled our postpartum risk-scoring model to evaluate 100% of new intake notes in real-time, providing immediate decision support to our clinicians.
As part of the Luna Joy team, you will play an essential role in directly contributing to the support of the mental health journey of one million women with purpose-driven innovation, unwavering compassion, and transformative care. You will need speed to adapt quickly and efficiently to a fast-paced, agile development environment and the drive to be 1% better every day, constantly striving for improvement. Additionally, you will demonstrate compassion and contribute to a positive work environment by giving and getting joy in your daily interactions. These values will enable you to effectively contribute to key areas of focus and responsibility.
At Luna Joy, we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace where all team members feel valued and respected. We believe that diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives strengthens our ability to support women’s mental health. We encourage individuals from all backgrounds, including those from historically underrepresented groups, to apply and join us in creating a positive impact in our communities. Everyone is welcome at Luna Joy, and we are dedicated to building a work environment where you can thrive and bring your whole self to work.
LunaJoy is building the AI-powered care platform for precision mental health—starting with women. We integrate intelligent automation with specialized clinical services to deliver scalable, life-stage-specific care—from adolescence to pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, miscarriage, perimenopause, and aging. By embedding AI agents into care navigation, triage, and decision support, we reduce costs, accelerate outcomes, and personalize treatment at scale.
Our hybrid care model blends targeted psychotherapy, psychiatric medication management, genetic testing, coaching, and holistic wellness—delivered by a curated workforce of women’s mental health specialists. Through continuous feedback loops, AI segmentation, and predictive insights, LunaJoy is built to scale.
We’re expanding our in-network footprint to make this care accessible across commercial and Medicaid populations—closing equity gaps for women of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those most at risk.
Women are twice as likely to experience mental health conditions, and 3x more likely to endure trauma. Yet the system is still built for the “average” patient—ignoring the biological, emotional, and social complexity of women’s lives. LunaJoy is rearchitecting that system with AI at its core—because when we invest in women’s mental health, entire communities thrive.
