## Job description

## About Onos Health

Onos Health’s mission is simple but ambitious: ensure every healthcare dollar goes toward delivering the highest quality care. Today, nearly 30% of U.S. healthcare spending is wasted due to ineffective care and administrative burden caused by misalignment between providers and payers.

Onos is addressing this by building the AI platform that enables health plans to understand clinical care at scale. By transforming unstructured clinical documentation into actionable insights, we help payers make faster, more informed decisions, identify opportunities to improve quality and reduce waste, and ensure more healthcare dollars are directed toward delivering better outcomes.

Come join a category-defining company and transform how healthcare is managed in the U.S.

Why Onos?

- Meaningful impact: Help solve one of healthcare’s biggest challenges by improving quality while reducing waste.
- Ownership: Take on significant responsibility from day one and shape a rapidly growing company.
- Direct collaboration: Work alongside experienced founders with deep expertise in healthcare, AI, and product development.
- High-performing team: Join a transparent, collaborative, and execution-focused culture.
- Build something new: Help define the next generation of AI-powered healthcare analytics.

## The Role

We're seeking a Forward-Deployed Product Manager who is motivated to fix how behavioral healthcare is managed, delivered, and paid for in the United States. This is a high-ownership, client-facing role at the intersection of product, account management, and implementation, built for someone who wants to be close to the problem, not just the roadmap.

You will own a portfolio of 1-2 health plan customers end-to-end: leading the day-to-day relationship, translating their clinical and operational needs into product direction, and working directly with your pod's engineer to ship.

You'll be the person your customers trust, the person engineering relies on for clarity, and an early voice in shaping how Onos builds and delivers at scale. You will report directly to the Chief Product Officer.

## What You'll Be Doing at Onos

- Own the own the strategic relationship with the client, understand their pain points, and help guide to the product for their specific needs
- Develop deep fluency in how health plans operate across utilization management, prior authorization, and clinical workflows so you can anticipate needs and drive real outcomes
- Translate customer requirements into clear product specs and acceptance criteria that your engineering partner can execute against
- Manage project timelines and delivery, holding the pod accountable and communicating proactively when things shift
- Strong collaboration with data science/analytics and clinical teams
- Surface patterns across your accounts that inform the broader product roadmap
- Help define the playbook for how Onos serves customers as we grow

## What We're Looking For

- 3-7 years of experience in product management and/or consulting
- Strong communicator who can run a client meeting, write a clear spec, and follow up without being chased
- Project management discipline; you track details, hit deadlines, and keep things moving
- Comfortable working with technical teams and translating between business and engineering
- Self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity; we're early and the playbook is still being written
- Ability to navigate complex situations across clients
- Passionate about solving healthcare’s biggest challenges

Bonus Points If You Have

- MPH, MHA, or other health policy or public health credential
- Experience at a health plan, BHMO, managed care organization, or health plan vendor
- Strategy consulting background

## Benefits and Perks

- Hybrid: 3x per week (Mon/Tues/Thurs) at San Francisco office (Financial District)
- Flexible vacation policy
- Paid parental leave
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Pre-tax commuter benefits
- 401(k)
- Significant equity as an early employee
- Direct mentorship from experienced founders
- Ground-floor opportunity to help build a team and culture
- Regular team events and off-sites
- Company-provided equipment and home office setup

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

## About Onos Health

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Onos Health provides an AI-powered platform that helps health plans reduce waste and improve quality in behavioral health programs.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage; raised $6.3M in June 2025)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: Not publicly available
- **Founders**: Akshay Agrawal (CEO) and Suhaas Prasad (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Healthcare IT – specifically behavioral health technology for payers
- **Target customers**: Health plans (payers) that manage behavioral health benefits, including government-sponsored programs
- **Mission statement**: “Fix what’s broken in behavioral health” – the company aims to streamline operations, reduce loss, and ensure higher-quality care.

## Products & Services
- **Onos Platform (AI-Powered Behavioral Health Management)**: A SaaS platform that combines machine learning, large language models, and generative AI to:
  - Alert health plans when members deviate from appropriate care paths and recommend corrective actions.
  - Detect fraud, waste, and abuse early.
  - Provide a 360-degree view of each member’s condition and care.
  - Unify clinical review, utilization management, and provider quality assessment in a single, collaborative web application.
  - Support full spectrum of behavioral health diagnoses and all care settings (outpatient, intensive outpatient, inpatient, crisis stabilization, school-based, etc.).
- **Integration Options**: Supports flatfile/CSV, API connections to claims/RCM/EMR systems, or direct data warehouse/lake integration.
- **Configuration**: Can be tailored to a health plan’s data, service lines, and clinical guidelines.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding raised – $6.3M (Seed round, June 2025)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Seed round led by **Haystack** and **Pathlight Ventures**; 4 investors total.
- **Growth Signals**:
  - 17 employees as of mid-2025, with active hiring for 6+ open roles (Staff Engineers, AI/ML, Product, Marketing).
  - Job postings increased 50% month-over-month.
  - LinkedIn follower count: 885.
  - Company featured in Axios coverage of the fundraise (October 2025).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Behavioral-health-specific AI models**: Proprietary models trained exclusively on millions of claims, clinical notes, plan policies, and member data points – not general-purpose AI.
- **HIPAA compliance**: Built by security professionals with payer experience; uses locally hosted AI/ML models to protect PHI.
- **Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF)**: The platform continuously improves by incorporating team decisions back into the model.
- **End-to-end unification**: Brings together scattered clinical data and cross-functional teams (clinical review, utilization management, provider collaboration) in one platform.

## Strategic Focus
- **Reduce waste in behavioral health**: Onos targets the estimated 30% of every behavioral health dollar that goes to waste, aiming to cut that significantly.
- **Improve clinical oversight and provider quality**: Real-time alerts and recommendations keep members on effective care paths.
- **Expand data integration and configurability**: The platform works with existing payer systems and can be customized for each client’s policies and preferences.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-driven**: Employees focus on transforming a broken part of healthcare with measurable impact.
- **Small, collaborative team**: Currently 17 people, offering high ownership and direct influence.
- **Hybrid work policy**: Open positions list San Francisco as location, with hybrid expectation.
- **Engineering culture**: Teams use modern tech stack (Python, Django, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, PyTorch, Docker, Terraform, GitHub Actions, MLOps) and are building cutting-edge AI for healthcare.
- **Open roles**: Staff Software Engineer (Full Stack & AI/ML), Lead Engineer (Backend & Data/Integrations), Forward-Deployed Product Manager, Senior Software Engineer, Head of Marketing.
