## Job description

## TECHNICAL SOURCER

We’re building a high-caliber technical team in a competitive market. This role owns the top of the funnel—finding, engaging, and building relationships with exceptional engineers before they’re actively looking.

This is not a resume-pushing role. It’s about taste, curiosity, and persistence.

## WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Own outbound sourcing for technical roles (primarily software engineers)
- Identify high-signal candidates via LinkedIn, GitHub, referrals, and communities
- Write thoughtful, personalized outreach that actually gets replies
- Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to define “great”
- Experiment with sourcing strategies, messaging, and channels
- Track and improve funnel metrics (reply rate, pass-through, time to first convo)
- Build long-term candidate relationships, even when timing isn’t right

## YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF

- You have 1–4+ years of technical sourcing experience (startup experience a plus)
- You enjoy the puzzle of finding people others can’t
- You care about quality over volume and hate spammy outreach
- You’re comfortable with ambiguity and like building from scratch
- You operate with urgency and take ownership
- Bias to action

## WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

- Consistent flow of high-quality technical candidates
- Strong reply rates driven by thoughtful outreach
- Hiring managers trust your judgment and taste

## WHY JOIN

- Real ownership and visibility
- Opportunity to help define the sourcing playbook
- Close partnership with recruiters and founders
- High impact on a team scaling quickly
- Exposure to the strongest Tech Startup Eco-System

## About Latent

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Latent provides an enterprise pharmacy intelligence platform that uses a clinical AI engine to automate medication access workflows—such as prior authorizations and appeals—for health systems.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Rishabh Jain and Sriram Somasundaram

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Healthcare IT, AI-powered clinical operations, pharmacy intelligence
- **Target customers**: B2B; large health systems (hospitals and health networks) – currently serving over 45 partners including 50% of the top 20 U.S. health systems.
- **Mission or purpose statement**: “Closing the distance between a therapeutic decision and a patient receiving therapy” by automating the manual knowledge work that sits between a doctor’s order and treatment.

## Products & Services
- **Clinical Reasoning Engine**: An AI platform that performs clinical knowledge work—reasoning through patient data, interpreting drug criteria, extracting evidence, and orchestrating workflows across EHR, payers, pharmacies, and patients. Automates prior authorization, payer policy parsing, form auto-filling, and medical necessity checks.
- **Pharmacy Intelligence Platform**: A suite that centralizes pharmacy operations, increases prior-authorization throughput, reduces denials, and helps pharmacists focus on patients instead of paperwork.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available
- **Key Metric**: Total funding raised – $80.5 million (Series A as of April 2026)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Spark Capital, Transformation Capital, McKesson Ventures, Conviction, General Catalyst, Y Combinator
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Grew from 4 to more than 45 health system partners in the past year (2025–2026)
  - Now serves 2 million patients annually
  - Reduces denials by over 30% and enables clinicians to serve twice as many patients
  - Customers include Yale New Haven Health, Ochsner Health, MetroHealth, UCI, Vanderbilt Health, Mount Sinai, Henry Ford Health, UCSF Health, UCLA Health

## Competitive Advantages
- Deep, native integration with any EHR; the engine operates directly within the patient record.
- Proprietary clinical agentic engine trained on medical reasoning, payer rules, and drug criteria – a high bar for regulatory and clinical accuracy.
- Proven operational impact: 109% more prior-auth throughput per person, 23.4 minutes of every appeal handed back to pharmacists, and $300K+ annual labor cost savings cited by customers.
- Already embedded in 50% of the top 20 U.S. health systems, creating a high switching cost.

## Strategic Focus
- Expand health system footprint and deepen the platform connecting hospitals, payers, pharmacies, and patients.
- Continue investing in reliability and trust required for healthcare deployment.
- Scale the team and apply the Clinical Reasoning Engine proactively to identify patients who should start therapy and keep them on treatment.
- Move beyond prior authorization into every process where clinical knowledge must be translated into action.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: High agency, ownership, and independence; engineers own projects from ideation to completion. Values include bias to action, practical innovation, and customer obsession (regularly visiting partner sites).
- **Remote/Hybrid**: Remote-friendly (headquarters in San Francisco; team is distributed).
- **Notable perks/engineering culture**: Fast-moving environment with ambitious product and GTM goals; opportunity to work on one of healthcare’s hardest problems using modern AI/ML; team size ~50 (as of early 2026) – still a growth-stage startup.
