DrSwarm | CTO Cofounder | Bay Area | Full-time

Building AI agents that automate the work of outpatient healthcare practices.

I'm the former co-founder/CEO of DrChrono (YC W11).

Looking for an exceptional hands-on technical cofounder who wants to build a ton of product — not manage an engineering org. You'll code every day, own the architecture, work directly with customers, and help define what we build.

Python/Django, Next.js, Postgres, AWS, LLM/voice/agent infrastructure.

Bay Area strongly preferred. Cofounder-level equity + salary.

DrSwarm | Founding Engineer (Full-Stack) | REMOTE (US or LATAM; must overlap with US Pacific hours) | Full-time or Contract to Full-time

DrSwarm is building AI-driven workflow automation for healthcare clinics / health systems (scheduling, RCM/billing workflows, patient ops). This is a true 0→1 role: ship fast, talk to customers, own systems end-to-end.

You will: - Build product end-to-end (Next.js + Django) - Ship integrations + workflow automation (APIs, webhooks, background jobs, queues) - Own reliability (logs/metrics, retries, failure modes) and pragmatic security (HIPAA-aware)

Stack: Next.js, React/TypeScript, Django/Python, Postgres, Celery/Redis, Docker, AWS/DigitalOcean, LLM APIs. Looking for: Strong full-stack builder. Good to work with. Can talk to customers / users / salespeople. Uses AI to generate 90%+ of their code, interested in AI + Healthcare.

Comp: Market with mix of base + bonus + meaningful equity

Process: 30m intro → 60m technical/product deep dive → short paid work trial → references.

Contact: [email protected] (include “HN Founding Engineer” in subject) + GitHub/LinkedIn + 2–3 projects you’re proud of.

Awesome work! Really exciting project!

Lyndsay is one of the best gift givers I know! Definitely worthwhile to get her help!

Well, we all vote when we use Facebook (or don't use Facebook)

Burn it at both ends?

Everyone is faking it until they make it. I think a deciding event is when someone takes on no other employment for 1 year at a time and works 110% all in on their startup, then they are definitely an entrepreneur and have made the leap from the sidelines.

One idea I didn't see listed elsewhere: Try to go and work for an early stage startup if you are having trouble getting a startup off of the ground yourself. You will learn a lot more as one of the first 10 employees as you do as one of the first 10k. If you tell startups founders you eventually want to do your own startup they respect that and will try to give you opportunities and can share a lot with you about their startup experience.

Also hopefully if you are part of a successful startup exit you will get some street cred and some money to live off of. If it's a failed startup even better as you will learn even more from that experience.

Build a website and an iOS (and/or Android) app and get them up and running and give them away for free. It may be a lot harder and take a lot longer than you think to convert hardware -> software skills. If you do it in your spare time as a hobby you will ramp up at your own pace and have something to show future employers.
