## Job description

## About Take2 AI

Take2 is an AI agents platform purpose-built for healthcare recruiting. Take2’s agent network automates the end-to-end recruiting process, from sourcing and screening to credential verification, scheduling, and onboarding. We work with enterprise healthcare customers, including some of the largest health systems in the USA.

## About The Role

Take2 AI is hiring a hands-on Senior Software Engineer to lead and scale the infrastructure powering our AI-driven products.

Our systems already support thousands of candidate interactions each month—now we’re building for millions. You’ll evolve the architecture to meet new demands, guide technical direction, and mentor engineers while delivering high-impact solutions.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in both high-scale environments and fast-moving startups, playing a key leadership role from design through production with significant ownership over technical execution and direction.

In Terms of Experience

Required:

- 6+ years software engineering experience (with high exposure to full stack)
- Bachelor’s in Computer Science or Computer Engineering
- Has held titles such as Senior SWE, Staff/Principal Engineer, Software Engineering Lead, or Technical Lead
- 2+ years at a Series D+ company
- 2+ years at a fast-paced and high-growth early-stage startup (Series A or lower)
- Demonstrated hands-on technical leadership—ownership of a domain, architecture decisions, delegation/mentoring
- Experience building, operating, and scaling high-throughput, high-availability distributed systems, including observability/monitoring and reliability for mission-critical systems
- Capable of contributing across the stack—backend, infrastructure, and web/frontend—jumping in where needed to deliver end-to-end solutions.
- Comfortable navigating and working within infrastructure environments, including Kubernetes (EKS), ECS, EC2, and Docker—able to deploy, troubleshoot, and optimize services in production.
- Skilled with JavaScript, Node.js, Python, React, AWS, EKS, ECS, Kubernetes, Docker, MySQL/Postgres

Preferred:

- Built, deployed and scaled end-to-end AI applications (LLMs, speech/voice, recommendation engines, etc.) in consumer-facing products
- Experience with LLMs, Voice, Streaming, Low Latency, or Machine Learning Pipelines

## What You’ll Do

- Evolve and scale the backend architecture powering our AI-driven products
- Lead technical execution: set architectural direction, mentor engineers, delegate effectively, and remain hands-on
- Build and deliver end-to-end AI applications in close collaboration with product and founding teams
- Ensure the reliability, scalability, and observability of production systems
- Strengthen and evolve our engineering standards and technical culture as a key early leader on the team

Location & Flexibility We’re NYC-based and work hybrid (in-office Mon-Thu). We value in-person collaboration but also trust people to manage their time responsibly.

## Compensation & Growth

Competitive salary + meaningful equity. This is a chance to join at a stage where your work meaningfully shapes the product and your career trajectory.

## About Take2

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Take2 is an AI agents platform that automates end-to-end healthcare recruiting, from job posting to job offer.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A; $17M total funding)
- **Headquarters**: New York City, United States
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Yaniv Shimoni and Kaushik Narasimhan

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Healthcare recruiting technology (AI-powered)
- **Target customers**: B2B – enterprise healthcare organizations (large health systems, hospitals, clinics)
- **Mission**: To manage healthcare recruiting with autonomous AI agents, helping organizations reduce costs, hire faster, and improve retention and quality of hire.

## Products & Services
- **AI Interviewer**: Conducts phone interviews with candidates 24/7, evaluates them, records calls, and syncs results directly into the ATS – no human-in-the-loop required. Trained on healthcare-specific hiring data.
- **AI Sourcer**: Generates pipeline for hard-to-fill roles by re-engaging past applicants and tapping into external databases.
- **Scoring & Vetting Agent**: Creates role-specific scoring tailored to each company, verifies credentials and certifications in real-time.
- **Screening Agent**: Automates initial screening and candidate engagement.
- **Integrations**: Seamless sync with ATS and HRIS systems (e.g., real-time sync of interview notes, scores, candidate updates).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of $17M (including a $14M Series A announced February 2026)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Human Capital (lead), Bertelsmann Healthcare Investments, Reach Capital, SemperVirens VC, Honeystone Ventures; also backed by Aiinno Capital in earlier rounds. Advisors include HR leaders from top health systems.
- **Growth Signals**: Raised $14M Series A in February 2026; serves leading U.S. health systems; headcount grew 100% YoY to ~16 employees (as of mid-2026); expanding from interviews to a full suite of recruiting agents.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Autonomous AI agents** that require no human-in-the-loop for interviewing and screening, dramatically reducing recruiter manual work.
- **Purpose-built for healthcare**, trained on domain-specific data (clinical and non-clinical roles).
- **SOC 2 Type II & AI compliant** with enterprise-grade security (encryption, audits, 24/7 monitoring).
- **Proven results**: 2x faster time-to-fill, 70% less recruiter time on manual screening, and 4.8/5 average candidate experience rating.
- **Seamless ATS integration** enabling rapid deployment (2–3 weeks).

## Strategic Focus
- Expand beyond the current AI Interviewer into a broader network of agents covering sourcing, credential verification, scheduling, and employee onboarding.
- Continue to automate the full recruiting funnel for healthcare organizations to help them save millions annually while improving quality of hire and retention.

## Why Work Here
- **Early-stage growth**: Company is in a high-growth phase (100% YoY headcount increase) with a lean team of ~16 people, offering significant ownership and impact.
- **Founding team**: Co-founders are Stanford GSB alums with prior exits; advisory board includes HR leaders from top health systems.
- **Compensation**: Roles come with meaningful equity and competitive salary (e.g., Head of Engineering role posted at $150k–$200k + equity).
- **Work model**: Hybrid options available (e.g., the Head of Engineering role is hybrid in NYC); general policy is likely flexible given startup size.
- **Culture**: Mission-driven focus on solving a critical pain point in healthcare; engineering-led product with autonomy and direct impact on product direction.
