Our AI-powered products work directly inside clinical workflows — transcribing consultations, generating structured medical records, assisting clinical decisions, and integrating with any health system. (telepatia.ai http://telepatia.ai) Doctors today spend up to 40–70% of their time on administrative work instead of patient care, and we’re changing that by building AI “healthcare employees” that operate in real time. (LinkedIn https://co.linkedin.com/jobs/view/growth-associate-at-telepatia-ai-4384752432?utm_source=chatgpt.com) We’re backed by top investors and building from LatAm for the world. ## ABOUT THE ROLE We’re hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to work directly with our customers and ensure our AI products deliver real-world impact. This is a frontline engineering role — you will be embedded in customer problems, building, adapting, and deploying solutions in production. You are not just shipping features. You are making the product work where it actually matters. ## WHAT YOU’LL DO - Work directly with clinics, hospitals, and healthcare teams to understand workflows - Deploy, customize, and integrate Telepatia’s AI into real environments - Build customer-specific solutions (integrations, automations, workflows) - Translate messy real-world problems into working systems - Collaborate with product & engineering to turn patterns into scalable products - Own and drive continuous service improvement plans and quality delivery across the tech stack ## WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE DIFFERENT - You don’t wait for specs — you discover problems in the field - You don’t just build features — you ship solutions end-to-end - You don’t optimize for elegance — you optimize for what works in reality - You sit at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer success ## WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR ## MUST-HAVE - 3+ years of experience in engineering, product, or consulting roles within SaaS environments - Ability to build fast and iterate directly in production - Comfort working with ambiguity and incomplete information - High ownership: you solve problems end-to-end - Fluent written and spoken Spanish and English - Experience translating customer requirements into actionable code for sprint pipelines - Excellent communication, listening, and presentation skills across diverse audiences ## NICE-TO-HAVE - Experience with AI products (LLMs, voice, agents) - Technical foundation (ability to work with APIs, data, and modern web stacks — JS/TS is a plus) - Experience with integrations (EHRs, APIs, data pipelines) - Background in healthtech - Experience in customer-facing engineering roles ## About Telepatia ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Telepatia is building an AI-native clinical platform for Latin America that combines real-time documentation, clinical decision support, and AI healthcare employees to transform medical practice. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A – $33M led by Andreessen Horowitz) - **Headquarters**: São Paulo, Brazil (with offices in Colombia, United States, and Argentina) - **Founded**: 2025 - **Founders**: Nicolás Abad (Co-Founder & CEO) ## Core Business - **Primary industries**: Healthcare IT, Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare, Health & Human Services - **Target customers**: B2B – hospitals, health plan operators, clinical directors, and physicians in private practice across Latin America - **Mission**: Turn scarcity into abundance by empowering healthcare professionals with scalable, trustworthy intelligence – and pursue the first Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded to Latin America since 1984 with an AI Doctor. ## Products & Services - **AI Writer**: Real-time AI that listens to clinician-patient conversations and automatically generates structured medical records, adapting to each provider’s unique style. - **AI Advisor**: An AI copilot that provides evidence-based recommendations and institutional protocol guidance, helping clinicians make better decisions. - **AI Integrator**: Connects with any healthcare system (50+ systems integrated) so information flows automatically without manual work. - **AI Business Intelligence**: Transforms clinical activity into actionable insights – from protocol adherence to care quality and clinical performance. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not disclosed - **Total Funding**: **$42M** (Seed $9M led by A\* in November 2025, plus $33M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz) - **Key Metric**: Deployed across 25+ hospital systems in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico, reaching 14 million patients since launch (July 2025) - **Notable Investors & Partners**: - Lead investor: Andreessen Horowitz (Series A) - Angel investors: Shyam Sankar (Palantir CTO), Simón Borrero (Rappi founder), David Vélez (Nubank founder) - Customers include Mater Dei (Brazil’s leading hospital network) - **Growth Signals**: - Headcount grew 2,500% YoY (now 37 employees, as of mid-2026) - Monthly website traffic growth: +62.5% - Physicians recover 1.7 hours/day, protocol adherence rose from 84% to 99% - Already prevented 60,000 medical errors in real time ## Competitive Advantages - **Latin American focus**: The region has a severe clinician shortage (43% fewer physicians than OECD), but top 100 institutions concentrate 50% of physicians – enabling outsized distribution once top logos are won. - **AI-native & interoperable**: Built from scratch for the LatAm context, integrating with 50+ existing systems without friction. - **High physician adoption**: Doctors use the platform 8 hours/day – “unprecedented adoption” according to Mater Dei’s CEO. - **Backed by world-class investors** with deep experience scaling technology in complex markets (a16z, Nubank, Rappi, Palantir). ## Strategic Focus - **Win top health institutions** across Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico to compound distribution. - **Expand the AI Healthcare Employee suite** – including AI doctors, nurses, and auditors – trained on local clinical guidelines and literature. - **Achieve the stated goal** of winning a Nobel Prize in Medicine for Latin America by demonstrating AI-driven breakthroughs in care quality and outcomes. ## Why Work Here - **Mission-driven culture**: Founded by Nicolás Abad after his father died from a preventable drug interaction – the company is building the product that could have saved his life. - **Rapid growth & impact**: Headcount nearly doubled every month in 2026; employees get to shape a platform already used by millions of patients. - **Remote-first, globally distributed team**: Employees are in Colombia (35%), Brazil (29%), United States (6%), and Argentina (2%). The engineering team (15 people, 29% of workforce) works across time zones. - **High-caliber talent**: Alumni from Stanford GSB, top medical schools, and companies like Nubank, Rappi, and Einstein Hospital. - **Open roles** (as of mid-2026): AI Solutions Engineer, Sales Development Representative, and Onboarding Specialists – all with strong growth trajectory. ## Sources 1.
