OpenEvidence jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

OpenEvidence builds a medical AI platform for clinical decisions and medical search. Clinicians use it at the point of care, and its answers cite peer-reviewed medical literature. More than 65% of US clinicians use it. It is a $12B company, backed by Sequoia, GV, Kleiner Perkins, and Thrive Capital.

What they value

• Uncompromising excellence at a world-class level.
• End-to-end ownership, with no separate product managers.
• Hard work that is precise and intentional.
• No sacred cows: do not copy how others do things.
• Product quality and small details, with speed too.
• Ship important projects and show their impact, or fail fast and pivot.

Where they hire

Postings are in San Francisco and Miami. The engineering team works in person five days a week. Two roles, security and site reliability, also list remote. The security Posting says you must be authorized to work in the US without sponsorship now or in the future. The other Postings do not mention it.

Teams and roles

The engineering team has about 30 people from MIT, Harvard, and Stanford. The whole company has fewer than 90 people.

• Engineering: members of technical staff, and software engineers for backend and infrastructure, site reliability, applied AI, and platform security.
• Research: a research scientist.
• Beneficial Deployments: a team that brings OpenEvidence to health workers in low- and middle-income countries. It hires a member of technical staff, a partnerships lead, and a clinical lead.
• Partnerships: a role that runs partnerships with US health systems.

No Posting lists a pay range.

What they look for

Nine of the ten Postings ask for a builder who is smart, ambitious, scrappy, autonomous, precise, motivated, hard-working, and low-ego. Every Posting expects ownership. Most Postings say that 9-to-5 ticket work and paper writing are not the job. Several ask you to treat evaluation and quantitative proof as first-class. The Beneficial Deployments leads need years in global health, and the clinical lead needs medical training and clinical practice. Partnerships asks for 4 or more years in sales or partnerships with health systems.
