About the role

Older adults taking multiple medications are often confused about what they're taking, why, and what to watch for and their caregivers and physicians are working from fragmented, incomplete information.
What you need Strong product engineering ability and meaningful experience in health tech, consumer health apps, messaging products, or conversational systems.
A strong sense for UX under trust and accessibility constraints, especially for elderly or low-digital-literacy users.

Own the build across conversational experience, medication logic, patient and caregiver workflow, and deployment.
Design for trust, clarity, and low-friction use by older adults rather than assuming power-user behavior.
Work with AI Fund's build team on wedge selection, local market fit, and what could become a durable chronic care platform.
The ability to build both patient-facing simplicity and caregiver or clinician-facing structure.
Experience in medication management, care coordination, elder care, or chronic disease support products.
The point is to validate the wedge quickly and honestly with real users and domain experts.
You will be building an AI Fund idea, not bringing your own startup idea into the program.
The process typically includes a working conversation, then a 48-hour Builder Challenge, then panel review with AI Fund build leadership.
We may use AI tools to support parts of the hiring process.

Experience with GenAI systems, safe summarization, voice or chat interfaces, or messaging platform integrations such as LINE or WhatsApp.
Mandarin fluency is required, since the product is being built for the Taiwan market.
Helpful but not required
Experience with speech interfaces, multilingual UX, or family-sharing workflows.
You know how to use AI coding assistants and modern AI tools to move quickly without losing safety judgment.

$10,000/month for 12 weeks ($30,000 total). This is a contract role during the residency. If the build leads to a funded company, the next step is a founder-level role with meaningful equity upside.

Founder or founding engineer experience in consumer health or workflow-heavy products.
Someone who can combine product empathy, technical depth, and operational realism in a healthcare-adjacent product.
If the build leads to a funded company, the next step is a founder-level role with meaningful equity upside.
