About Us

At Sully.ai, We’re Building the Most Impactful Healthcare Company on Earth

We believe that access to a great doctor is a basic human right. Today, that’s not a reality. Delays, misdiagnoses, administrative chaos, and burnout plague the system.

Our Mission

One Human, One Doctor. We build AI teammates that augment clinicians — scribes, nurses, receptionists, translators — all powered by our own world-class models and deployed in real-world care.

Our Traction

• 450+ organizations signed 16 months
• AI agents cut admin by ~2.8 hours daily and reduce onboarding 85%.
• 5M+ Clinical Tasks completed to date, serving 36+ specialties.
• Raised $25M from YC, Eric Yuan, Amity, Semper Virens
• Patented AI architecture (MedCon-1) outperforms GPT-4.5, Gemini, Claude on clinical reasoning tasks
  
  

Sully requires A-players capable of 4 months = 1 year output.

What You’ll Do

• Build and optimize core research infrastructure: evaluation pipelines, agent workflows, hallucination detectors, coding benchmarks, and research→production integrations.
• Design, implement, and scale agentic systems across backend, frontend, and model integrations, collaborating closely with research and co-founders.
• Own reliability, observability, and performance across agents (logging, tracing, instrumentation, safety checks).
• Ship research-proven features into production within 7 days, end-to-end.
• Develop shared tools, SDKs, and internal products that accelerate iteration across Research, QA, and Engineering.
  
  

What You Must Bring

• Senior-level full-stack engineering experience in React, TypeScript, and Node.js.
• Proven ability to design, ship, and scale LLM-powered applications.
• Expertise in API design, streaming, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong cloud infrastructure background (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Track record of building reliable systems with measurable performance and error budgets.
  
  

First-Month Focus

• Audit all cross-agent flows for UI/UX consistency, correctness, and performance gaps.
• Implement shared components, typed schemas, and contract-driven interfaces for reliability.
• Establish instrumentation for frontend performance, agent consistency, latency, and model round-trip tracing.
• Improve or replace brittle evaluation or agent pipelines identified during onboarding.
• Partner with Research to productionize at least one new capability.
  
  

90 Day OKRs

Deliver production-grade agentic workflows with <5% error rates across evaluation benchmarks.

Launch a cross-agent design system + SDK adopted by at least 2 internal teams.

Establish a weekly deploy + measure cadence with performance dashboards, latency budgets, and error budgets.

Reduce agent latency and failure rates across at least two high-volume workflows.

Ship multiple research-to-production integrations with measurable CSAT or accuracy gains.

Who Thrives Here

• Entrepreneurial to your core: You think in outcomes, thrive in chaos, and take ownership without limits
• Mission-obsessed: You’re here to save lives, not just ship features — patients and doctors are your why.
• Impact-driven & fast-moving: You sprint toward hard problems and ship with sharp judgment.
• Elite teammate: You raise the bar through high standards, direct feedback, and craft excellence.
