United States onlyPsynth Founding Software Engineer
Department: Psynth
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Tulsa, OK
Compensation: $120,000 - $150,000 / year
Description
At Psynth, we are eliminating the nine-month wait for psychological evaluations and diagnoses, allowing psychologists to focus on what truly matters: patient care. Our AI-driven platform streamlines workflows, reduces paperwork, and improves both clinician satisfaction and patient outcomes.Now, we need a Product-Minded Software Engineer to build, scale, and optimize our AI-native platform. This isn’t a typical engineering role. You won’t just write code. You’ll own the product as well. You’ll be deeply involved in product decisions, user feedback, and business outcomes, shaping not just what we build but why we build it.
Let's be real: We're not here to add another meditation app to the world. We're building AI that will fundamentally transform how people receive psychological care, and we need ambitious builders who get excited by that "holy sh*t, this could actually work" feeling.
If you're energized by turning breakthrough technology into something that genuinely changes lives, and you want to be part of a team that moves fast and pushes boundaries, then we need to hear from you. We're backed by top investors, but more importantly, we're driven by the opportunity to build something that matters.
- Own the product, not just the code. You’ll make key technical and product decisions, working closely with customers to ensure we’re solving the right problems.
- Work on cutting-edge AI. Integrate large language models (LLMs) and AI-powered automation that redefine mental healthcare workflows.
- Join a high-growth startup. This is a 0-to-1 opportunity in a venture-funded company with real customers. You’ll have co-founder equity and the ability to shape the engineering and product teams the way you’ve always wanted.
- Move fast, ship, and iterate. If you prefer red tape, long meetings, and perfecting code before release, this isn’t for you. We ship, learn, and improve.
- Do work that matters. Help psychologists spend more time with patients and less time buried in admin work, making their jobs more fulfilling.
What You’ll Be Doing
- 80% hands-on coding, 20% product strategy - You’ll ship code fast, but also engage in product discussions, customer feedback, and iteration cycles.
- Full-Stack Development – Work across the entire stack, building user-facing applications with React and developing backend APIs and services with FastAPI. Contribute to cloud infrastructure and deployment in AWS, ensuring scalable and maintainable solutions.
- Customer-focused engineering - You won’t just build features. You’ll talk to users, analyze feedback, and make product decisions.
- AI-driven innovation - Build and deploy LLM-powered features that enhance clinician workflows, not just add hype.
- Scalability & performance - Ensure our platform is fast, reliable, and ready to scale as we grow.
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of full-stack development experience: You’ve built and shipped production apps.
- Proficiency in React, TypeScript, FastAPI, Python, and MongoDB: You have experience working across the stack, from building frontend applications to developing backend APIs and managing databases.
- AWS deployment experience: You know how to build, ship, and scale web apps in the cloud.
- LLM integration experience: You’ve worked with AI models and understand how to bring them into real-world applications.
- Product-first mindset: You don’t just write code. You think about the user, the business, and how your work drives impact.
- Self-starter mentality: You’re willing to figure things out, move fast, and make an impact from day one.
- Strong communication & collaboration skills: You iterate quickly, take feedback well, and work ego-free.
- A formal engineering or scientific education
- Experience in a startup environment
- A passion for healthcare and AI
- Experience running A/B tests and using analytics tools
