About the role
About Layers.
Layers is building a new kind of diagnostic clinic - a place where you get a real read on your health (body composition, bloodwork, facial analysis, and more) in an experience that feels nothing like a doctor's office.
We run our own clinics, and we build the software that runs them: booking, intake, results, scheduling, patient records, and the internal tools our staff live in. Almost everything about how a clinic works well comes back to the product.
If you're excited about operating like a founder, building software that runs a real physical business, and shaping a high-caliber engineering culture from the start, we'd love to work with you.
In this role, you will...
- Build full-stack features (web + app) across the whole patient journey - booking, intake, results, and the internal tools that run the clinic
- Ship AI-powered workflows that turn health data into something clear and actionable for patients and staff
- Work directly with patients and clinic staff to understand their pain and shape the roadmap
- Own projects end to end, from product design to infrastructure, moving quickly and responsibly
- Lay down core architecture and help scale the platform as we open more clinics
You might be a fit if...
- You love working fast, shipping often, and improving based on real user feedback
- You have strong fundamentals and write clean, efficient code
- You’re excited by the idea of building software that controls and interacts with physical devices in the real world
- You care about product quality and have an eye for good UX (even if you’re not a designer)
- You thrive in high-ownership environments and don’t wait around for permission
- You’re based in SF (or open to relocating) and want to be part of an in-person, high-trust team
