Our client is looking for experienced technical founders to join new AI healthcare ventures as CTO Co-Founders

• Experience in top-tier engineering environments, including Big Tech, elite startups, or late-stage technology companies

• Computer Science or related technical degree from a highly regarded university

• Strong product instincts and the ability to move quickly from concept to prototype

• Bias toward action, high urgency, and relentless execution
