## Job description

### About Layers.

Layers is building a new kind of diagnostic clinic - a place where you get a real read on your health (body composition, bloodwork, facial analysis, and more) in an experience that feels nothing like a doctor's office.

We run our own clinics, and we build the software that runs them: booking, intake, results, scheduling, patient records, and the internal tools our staff live in. Almost everything about how a clinic works well comes back to the product.

If you're excited about operating like a founder, building software that runs a real physical business, and shaping a high-caliber engineering culture from the start, we'd love to work with you.

### In this role, you will...

-   Build full-stack features (web + app) across the whole patient journey - booking, intake, results, and the internal tools that run the clinic
-   Ship AI-powered workflows that turn health data into something clear and actionable for patients and staff
-   Work directly with patients and clinic staff to understand their pain and shape the roadmap
-   Own projects end to end, from product design to infrastructure, moving quickly and responsibly
-   Lay down core architecture and help scale the platform as we open more clinics

### You might be a fit if...

-   You love working fast, shipping often, and improving based on real user feedback
-   You have strong fundamentals and write clean, efficient code
-   You’re excited by the idea of building software that controls and interacts with physical devices in the real world
-   You care about product quality and have an eye for good UX (even if you’re not a designer)
-   You thrive in high-ownership environments and don’t wait around for permission
-   You’re based in SF (or open to relocating) and want to be part of an in-person, high-trust team

### Interview Process

We keep our process simple, fast, and focused on real collaboration.

1.  **Intro Call** – 30 min with the founder (get to know us, we get to know you)
2.  **Technical 1:1** – Walk through your experience, solve a technical problem, and understand how you think
3.  **On-Site Work Trial (5 Days)** – You’ll work with us in person. You’ll pair with the team, build something small, and get a feel for how we work day to day.
