Jose is a proven founding engineer with deep full-stack expertise, strong domain modeling instincts (evidenced by LangGraph agent design and data warehouse architecture), and a track record shipping products end-to-end in resource-constrained settings. However, he lacks production experience with C#/.NET and gRPC, and his background is primarily in AI/data products rather than healthcare software where clinical domain understanding and regulatory awareness are critical.
Hook: Your founding engineer background and obsession with end-to-end product ownership from empty repo to production—plus your ability to make smart build-vs-buy and architectural decisions under constraint—makes you exactly the type of early-stage operator Axo needs to scale clinical software.
Missing: C#/.NET production experience, gRPC/contract-first architecture, Healthcare domain knowledge, Clinical workflow understanding, Regulatory/compliance experience (HIPAA, FDA)

Axo Ventures | Senior Software Engineer (Founding Team) | ONSITE: Houston, TX (Sugar Land) | Full-time | $100k–$140k + Founding Equity, adjustable Clinical software is where a provider's time goes to die. We are building Axo to make the software layer as invisible and ambient as possible, letting clinicians direct 100% of their attention to patients rather than screens. Our first market is orthotics and prosthetics (O&P), the field designing braces and artificial limbs that restore human mobility and underserved by the tech sector. We're building a foundation designed to eventually scale across thousands of providers and multiple medical specialties. You’ll join as a founding engineer working directly with myself (Xoogler SWE) and my co-founder (one of the US's best known O&P clinicians), and a new engineer. You will own massive surfaces end-to-end, making the foundational architectural decisions for our entire platform. We have clinics using our suite and already saving hours a day, but we've got a massive pipeline ahead and need your help to build it. And we participate in humanitarian missions to expand prosthetic access in critical parts of the world like Ukraine. - The Stack: C#/.NET, contract-first gRPC, SolidJS/TypeScript, and PostgreSQL, built with strict domain-driven design and rigorous testing. - How we work: We have total flexibility on your workflow. Love AI-assisted speed coding? Go for it. Prefer to write by hand because your mental model is faster than prompting? Perfect. We only care about delivering safely and quickly. - Requirements: Senior-level depth with production systems, a strong habit of domain modeling, and a philosophy that defaults to simplicity. Strong UI/UX experience with an obsession for user simplicity is a must. To apply, email me directly at jlyman@axoventures.co with a short story about a favorite technical challenge you solved end-to-end. Please put "HN" in the subject line!
