Jose has exceptional full-stack engineering credentials with proven ability to build complex systems end-to-end (real-time voice platforms, LLM agents, multi-channel delivery), strong infrastructure/DevOps skills (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform), and experience at scale. However, he lacks direct healthcare/insurance domain experience and his recent focus has been AI-first products rather than the breadth of healthcare platform systems (claims adjudication, member portals, ID card printing) that Yuzu requires. The role heavily emphasizes shipping healthcare infrastructure at scale, which doesn't align with his AI-product-focused founding engineer trajectory.
Hook: Your 0→1 product engineering mindset and proven ability to architect and ship complex full-stack systems across multiple channels (voice, web, SMS) at scale makes you an excellent fit for helping Yuzu expand their health insurance platform.
Missing: Healthcare insurance domain knowledge, Claims processing systems, Healthcare compliance (HIPAA, regulatory experience), Member/benefits administration platforms

Yuzu Health (yuzu.health, Series A) | Location: New York City (Flatiron) | ONSITE Pitch: Yuzu is not a wrapper, point solution, or integration on top of something. Our platform makes it easy for anyone to create their own health plan from scratch. That means our tech handles everything from the member/HR portals, claims adjudication, invoice automation, member support tools, to even printing and sending out ID cards. Why: We're rebuilding health insurance from the ground up. We currently serve over 1,000 employers, and we're growing extremely fast (like over 10x last year fast)! Investors: We're well funded with investors like General Catalyst, Chemistry, Anthropic, Lachy Groom, Neo and founders from startups you know like Notion, Brex, Deel, and Mercury. Roles: We're hiring engineers for in-person work over here at Yuzu's HQ in Chelsea, NYC. Primary need is for experienced Fullstack/Product Engineers and Tech Lead types but we're also looking for a Data Engineer.
