Sword Health jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

Sword Health builds AI Care: care programs that people follow at home, with clinicians and AI working together. Its programs cover physical therapy, women's health, heart and metabolic health, and mental health. More than 700,000 members have done over 10 million AI sessions. Sword has raised more than $500 million from investors such as Khosla Ventures and General Catalyst.

What they value

• AI fluency: every hire uses AI in their daily work.
• Pay that grows with impact: a range is a starting point, not a ceiling.
• Ownership: engineers own outcomes, not just tasks.
• A sense of urgency, and experiments over polish.
• Quality where it counts, mainly in clinical work.
• Clear, direct communication.

Where they hire

70 of 72 roles are remote. Most are in the US, Portugal, Germany, or across Europe. A few are in Greece, the UK, and Canada. Two roles are hybrid, in Lisbon and Porto. Some roles must be in one country, such as the Portugal physiotherapists. US physical therapists must work from the US. No posting mentions visa sponsorship.

Teams and roles

• Germany: sales, marketing, patient success, and support roles for Kaia Health. Kaia is part of Sword and is a digital therapy for back and joint pain in Germany.
• Treatment and intake: physical therapists in the US and physiotherapists in Portugal. The US roles are seasonal and pay by the hour.
• Engineering and applied AI: backend, AI, machine learning, iOS, data, and quality roles, most of them in Portugal or across Europe. Two Greek-speaking roles in Greece build AI agents and the systems behind them.
• Commercial operations: deal desk, revenue operations, and sales enablement roles in the US and Europe.

Every posting asks for skill with AI. Sword rates applicants on three levels: daily use, building tools for the team, and adding AI to products. Every hire must reach at least the first level. Almost every posting gives a pay range.

What they look for

Most engineering roles ask for three to five or more years of building software. Many ask for Python or Go, and some ask for Google Cloud. Most AI and machine learning roles ask for hands-on work with LLMs and AI agents in production. A senior backend role and an AI product role ask for real use of AI coding agents.
