About Us:

BridgeHealthAI is on a mission to eradicate health disparities for underserved families by simplifying the fragmented and complicated health and community benefits navigation journey. Over 100 million people in the U.S. struggle to access basic services like food, housing, insurance, and transportation due to outdated, fragmented systems. We’re transforming how care teams support these individuals—faster, easier, and more equitably than ever before.

We’re building an AI-native care coordination platform that enables care workers to help patients access, enroll in, and understand their benefits in minutes—not months. Our solution uses cutting-edge LLMs and intuitive design to support the people who support patients.

BridgeHealthAI is an early-stage start-up born out of Harvard and MIT, and backed by top healthcare investors, including Pear VC, Flare Capital, and Glen Tullman (7wireVentures, Transcarent, Livongo). If you're a thoughtful, action-oriented builder who wants to create real impact in healthcare and scale a product from the ground up—we want to hear from you.

  • Architecture & Scale: Make key architectural decisions as we scale from pilots to a national platform.

  • Engineering Culture: Contribute to best practices, code quality, and a high-trust, low-ego environment.

  • Speed & Feedback Loops: Ship fast, iterate on feedback from real users, and help grow the team.

Requirements:

  • 4+ years of experience in full stack engineering (ideally at a startup or fast-paced product team).

  • Mastery in either backend or frontend, with flexibility and interest in working across the stack.

  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to write clean, testable, and scalable code.

  • Experience working with or eagerness to learn LLMs and OpenAI technologies.

  • Ability to deploy code end-to-end. Familiarity with AWS, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD pipelines.

  • Deep care for health equity and using technology for real-world impact.

  • Excitement about building from scratch, iterating quickly, and collaborating cross-functionally.

Tech Stack:

  • Frontend: React.js, TypeScript

  • Backend: Kotlin, Python

  • Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes

  • Database: PostgreSQL

  • AI/ML: OpenAI

  • DevOps: CI/CD, GitHub

View company profile

At the heart of Pear VC is a culture deeply rooted in the founder's journey. We began as Pejman Mar Ventures in 2013, founded by Pejman Nozad and Mar Hershenson, with a singular mission: to build a venture capital firm that genuinely and actively supports founders. Pejman, an angel investor, saw the immense potential in creating a firm where founder support was paramount. He partnered with Mar, and together they laid the foundation for what would become Pear VC three years later. The name 'Pear' itself is symbolic of our philosophy – pear trees are known for their longevity and strength, yet they require nurturing and the right conditions to flourish, much like startups. Our founders themselves embody resilience and diverse experiences. Pejman immigrated to the U.S. from Iran with very little and carved a unique path into venture capital, initially investing while working as a rug dealer. Mar, originally from Barcelona, brings a wealth of technical and operational expertise, holding a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford and having founded three companies herself.

Our core values emphasize a hands-on, empathetic approach. We understand that building something from nothing is an arduous journey, often marked by setbacks. Having navigated these challenges ourselves through founding over ten companies, our team is uniquely positioned to empathize with and guide entrepreneurs. We are not just investors; we are company builders. Our commitment extends beyond capital; we roll up our sleeves to help founders find product-market fit, craft go-to-market strategies, recruit crucial early hires, and navigate the complexities of fundraising. We pride ourselves on being there for our founders through thick and thin, offering support when challenges arise, be it an elusive product-market fit, a missed target, or team changes. We believe in 'active patience,' fostering an environment where learning and long-term vision take precedence over short-term pressures. This philosophy has enabled us to partner with exceptional founders from the earliest stages, often pre-seed and seed, to build category-defining companies. Our community is a cornerstone of our approach, exemplified by Pear Studio, a collaborative workspace designed to foster innovation and connection among entrepreneurs. We are dedicated to identifying and nurturing exceptional talent, helping them transform great ideas into iconic, long-lasting companies.
