You trained as a physician. You understand what it means to look at a patient, interpret labs, weigh differential diagnoses, and make a call under uncertainty. At some point, you realized you could have more impact beyond direct patient and you started building a second dimension alongside or after your clinical work.
dehaze AI identifies chronic disease risks on already existing health data. Thanks to us, our customers, fully integrated health insurers, save ~10% of their yearly health budget. In an industry with relatively low margins, a real game changer.
You are the medical authority inside dehaze. But this is not a clinical advisory board seat. You are embedded in the team, working daily with the CEO, CTO, and Chief Scientific Officer. Your core focus is validating our AI outputs and building the clinical evidence base that makes our technology credible to regulators, customers, and the medical community. You bring the physician’s judgment that no engineer or data scientist can replicate combined with the analytical and commercial thinking you’ve developed beyond the bedside.
Tasks
Your core focus is medical validation and clinical evidence. Everything else supports that.
- Be the clinical gatekeeper: When our AI flags a chronic disease risk, you determine whether the prediction is clinically plausible. You evaluate outputs against your medical training and real-world experience, not just statistical metrics. If it doesn’t make medical sense, it doesn’t ship.
- Validate our data normalization: Our pipelines transform messy health data into patient trajectories. You review whether diagnoses, lab values, medications, and procedures retain their medical meaning after transformation. If something is lost or distorted, you catch it.
- Build and curate golden datasets: You create and maintain reference datasets with clinically validated ground truth to benchmark every model iteration.
- Build the evidence strategy and academic partnerships: You design validation studies, define outcome measures, and establish relationships with university hospitals and research groups to co-validate our approach and publish findings.
- Represent dehaze’s clinical credibility to customers: When we sit across from a chief medical officer or medical director at a health network, you convey the medical validity of our solution. You speak their language because you’ve been in their world.
- Shape the clinical roadmap: You advise our product team on medical requirements for prioritization and how to sequence our clinical development from both a medical impact and a business value perspective.
- Champion patient safety: Every output that touches a patient must be safe. You define the guardrails, flag edge cases, and ensure we never compromise clinical integrity for speed.
Requirements
- Physician first. You have meaningful clinical experience whether that’s a completed residency, years of practice, or advanced clinical training. You’ve treated patients, interpreted labs, and made diagnostic calls under pressure. This clinical foundation is non-negotiable.
- With a second dimension. You’ve gone beyond the bedside or you’re still practicing but have significant exposure to the business, technology, or research side of healthcare. Either way, you bring more than a medical degree.
- Research-literate. You understand clinical study design, outcome measurement, and what it takes to produce evidence that regulators and the medical community take seriously. Whether through academic research, clinical trials, or health outcomes work, you know how to build a clinical evidence base.
- Analytical and data-literate. You can work with datasets, interpret model outputs, and evaluate whether results make clinical sense. You don’t need to write code, but you’re comfortable around data and understand enough about AI and machine learning to have real conversations with engineers about what a model is doing and why.
- Rigorous and opinionated. You have strong views on what is clinically valid and you defend them. You push back when something doesn’t meet the medical standard regardless of who is asking.
- Startup-ready. You are comfortable with ambiguity, speed, and building from scratch. You want to define the playbook, not follow one.
- Languages: Excellent English is required. German and Portuguese are a strong plus.
NICE-TO-HAVES
- You think about clinical value and business value in the same sentence and can articulate why a clinical insight matters to an insurer’s bottom line
- Familiarity with regulatory frameworks for medical AI (FDA, MdR, ANVISA)
- Track record of academic publications in clinical research or medical AI
- Understanding of health data standards (ICD-10, SNOMED CT, FHIR) from a clinical perspective
- Experience working with health insurers or integrated care networks
Benefits
- Serial founder team: Work directly alongside serial healthtech entrepreneurs and one of Europe’s leading professors in medical AI. The founding team has built and exited 3 health startups and operated in hyperscaler environments.
- Technological frontier: Our proprietary AI builds on a novel architecture unlocking already existing health data. You’ll be at the forefront of technology that fundamentally changes how chronic diseases are identified.
- Intense speed and impact: We measure quality of life improvements and cost savings. We plan to 10x our ARR in the first year.
- Global scope, real ownership: Technology and science are built in Germany. We entered the market in Brazil and are expanding to the US and EU. Your decisions will impact how we scale across markets, regulatory environments, and cultures.
- Growth trajectory: This role is designed to grow with the company that is scaling internationally. Competitive salary plus equity participation (VSOP) because we want you to build this with us, not just work for us.
No cover letter templates. No generic applications. If you can’t articulate why this specific role at this specific company in 5 sentences, we’re probably not the right fit.
ABOUT DEHAZE
dehaze is building proprietary AI infrastructure to identify risks of chronic diseases earlier and more precisely on already existing health data. We save integrated health insurance companies 10% of their health spend and help patients live a healthier life.
Our proprietary technology works where others can’t: on unharmonized already existing health data. Founded by 3 serial entrepreneurs, we are backed by institutional investors and operate across Brazil, with expansion into the US and Europe planned.
