Ahead Health is building an AI-powered preventative health platform for Europe.

We are Ahead Health
Healthcare is broken. It's reactive, fragmented, and increasingly expensive. While we have more health data than ever before, we're not using it effectively to prevent disease and optimize wellbeing.
That's why we started Ahead Health. We're building an AI-powered platform that transforms how people understand and manage their health, shifting from reactive treatment to proactive prevention. By combining cutting-edge technology with medical expertise, we help people take control of their health journey before problems arise.
The product vision: personal concierge medical care, for everyone. Three key components: (1) A data vault with the most up-to-date picture of your health, (2) a trusted single-point-of-care, and (3) the most extensive, helpful dashboard. More info in our pitch deck.
We're excited to build Europe's leading preventative health platform, starting in Switzerland.
We’re backed by founders and execs from Hugging Face, Cradle, Google, DeepMind, Oviva, Stanford Medicine, GE, Philips, and Coda.

Familiarity with privacy-focused, regulated environments like healthcare or fintech.
You've done something in your technical career that stands out, whether it's starting your own company, getting into an amazing university, or launching something that blew up on the interwebs.
Preferred
Hands-on experience with Terraform, Pub/Sub, Cloud Functions, and event-driven architectures.
Proficiency in Python and knowledge of medical data formats (e.g., FHIR, DICOM, NIfTI).

1–1.5% equity.
Meaningful work: shape the future of preventative healthcare.
Flexibility to work remotely (±2 CET) with the option to be based in Zurich or Munich (sorry, we can’t provide relocation assistance at this time).
Small, experienced, technical, and mission-led team with backgrounds from top tech companies.
Ownership, autonomy, and the chance to set engineering foundations that matter.
