## Job description

## ABOUT BABA

Baba is an applied AI lab modernizing risk and care delivery for people with Medicare. We've become the fastest growing digital health system matching people with Medicare and their family caregivers with expert advocates, physicians, medications, lab testing, and AI agents to deliver insurance-covered care across all 50 states. In the last 8 months, we've completed tens of thousands of appointments and partnered with health plans covering more than 4 million Medicare beneficiaries. On any given day, our team's work spans population health research, applied AI research, clinical care delivery, and fintech infrastructure.

We're a Series A company with $40M+ in funding. Our team is half engineers, a third former founders, and comes from places like Ramp, Stripe, Liquid AI, Palantir, MIT, and CMU. Our clinical operations are led by the former Executive Director of Care Transitions from the Mount Sinai Health System. We believe that talent density is our greatest competitive advantage.

## ABOUT THE ROLE

Baba is seeking a Fullstack Engineer to own the end-to-end development lifecycle for new platform capabilities and integrations with other systems.

You'll own core systems end-to-end — from voice AI infrastructure to the internal tools our clinicians use daily. As we scale from thousands to millions of patients, you'll design the APIs, data pipelines, and product surfaces that make that possible without sacrificing quality of care.

Interested candidates should email connor@callbaba.com with a short summary of the most challenging problem they've worked on and a link to their LinkedIn.

## WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Build and maintain the web applications, APIs, and backend services that power Baba's patient advocacy platform.
- Design and implement automated QA and monitoring systems to audit patient outcomes and advocate performance at scale.
- Develop internal tools and dashboards that streamline clinical workflows, replacing manual processes with reliable, scalable software.
- Architect data models and pipelines to support a growing marketplace of advocates, providers, and patients.
- Collaborate directly with the founder and clinical team to translate operational bottlenecks into shipped product.

## WHO YOU ARE

- Strong builder: You have 2+ years of professional experience building and shipping web applications. You're comfortable owning features end-to-end, from database schema to UI.
- Systems thinker: You can map complex, multi-user workflows into clean data models and logical service boundaries.
- Pragmatic and fast: You prioritize shipping over perfection, but you don't cut corners on correctness. You thrive in early-stage ambiguity.
- High-agency: You take ownership of problems, not just tickets. When something breaks at midnight, you fix it.
- Willing to sweep the corners: You're equally comfortable debugging a production issue, answering a patient support ticket, or whiteboarding system architecture. No task is below you.

## WHAT YOU NEED

- 2+ years of professional engineering experience (excluding internships) in relevant roles at tech and product-driven companies
- Are proficient in one or more backend languages (e.g., Python, Go, Rust, Typescript or similar) and distributed systems concepts.
- Care deeply about reliability, safety, and performance in production environments.
- Interest in AI/ML (direct experience not required)
- Proven ability to thrive in fast-growing, product-driven companies by effectively navigating loosely defined tasks and managing competing priorities or deadlines.
- Bonus: Former founder, or early engineer at a startup who has built a product from scratch

## BENEFITS

- Medical, dental & vision insurance coverage
- 401k
- Flexible PTO
- Free lunch & dinner in office
- Relocation support to NYC (as needed)

## About Baba

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Baba pairs older adults with dedicated healthcare advocates (nurses and social workers) who handle insurance appeals, specialist referrals, medication coordination, and appointment scheduling — all covered by Medicare.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed/Series A stage based on known investors)
- **Headquarters**: New York, NY, USA (also an office in Batu Caves, Malaysia)
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Not publicly available (co-founding team not named on website)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Healthtech / Healthcare Navigation Services
- **Target customers**: Older adults (Medicare beneficiaries) and their families; B2C with insurance reimbursement
- **Mission/purpose**: “Navigating healthcare bureaucracy shouldn’t be the hardest part of getting healthy and staying whole.” Baba aims to simplify the healthcare system so patients can focus on their health.

## Products & Services
- **Baba Advocate Service**: A personal healthcare advocate (nurse or social worker) assigned to each patient. Advocates research specialists, write insurance appeals, find lower-cost medications, schedule appointments, and handle medical equipment requests. Covered by Medicare, so most patients pay nothing out-of-pocket. The service operates across all 50 U.S. states and focuses on chronic conditions (hypertension, COPD, kidney disease, dementia, cancer, ALS, Parkinson’s, stroke recovery, depression, mobility equipment, etc.).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly available (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Raised venture funding from leading investors — General Catalyst, Genius Ventures, Soma Capital, Ground Up Ventures, and Triedge Investments. Funding amount not disclosed.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: General Catalyst, Genius Ventures, Soma Capital, Ground Up Ventures, Triedge Investments. Also selected for the CMS ACCESS Model (a Medicare innovation program).
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Helped over 6,000 individuals and families.

  - Total headcount of 78 employees (as of mid-2026), operating remotely with offices in New York and Malaysia.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Insurance-covered Advocacy**: The service is covered by Medicare, removing the cost barrier for seniors — most patients pay nothing out-of-pocket.
- **Experienced Human Advocates**: Advocates average 27+ years of healthcare experience and are licensed nurses/social workers, not bots or generic call center staff.
- **End-to-End Support**: From insurance denials to prescription savings to appointment scheduling, advocates manage the entire administrative burden, creating a sticky, high-trust relationship.

## Strategic Focus
- **Expansion of Clinical Operations**: Recent hire of former Mount Sinai executive suggests scaling clinical capacity and partnerships.
- **CMS Model Participation**: Involvement in the CMS ACCESS Model indicates a focus on driving value-based care and integrating with government healthcare programs.
- **Broadening Condition Coverage**: Already covering 10+ chronic conditions and mobility equipment, likely to expand into more areas.

## Why Work Here
