Imagine a world in which every new piece of medical technology -- every new chemo drug, pacemaker, Alzheimer’s therapy -- gets in the hands of patients 30% faster. That’s the world we’re building. And we’re looking for people who are motivated by the idea of being a force multiplier across an industry, and thus having a small hand in every new exciting technology being developed over the next 10 years.
The position will be based in San Francisco, CA. Salary and equity grant will be commensurate with experience.

What We're Building
Think TurboTax, but for FDA.
We’re building a software platform to handle the compliance aspects of running a drug or medical device company. Compliance is an ongoing activity for companies in this space, and annual costs per company range anywhere from $100K to $100M. Being deemed not compliant can be devastating, preventing a company from selling any new product for months and sometimes years.
In lieu of hiring costly consultants or employees to address this problem, customers provide our platform access to their data, and the platform outputs documentation in the manner that FDA and other regulatory agencies are looking for.
By using our software platform, customers will cut their annual regulatory costs by 50% (on average) and reduce the risk that their products will not get approved for sale.
