Freed | Software Engineers (Fullstack / AI), EM / Tech Lead Manager, UX Design | SF | https://getfreed.ai | Full-time

Doctors are overworked, burnt out, and are quitting in masses.

I'm head of engineering at Freed, where we combine clinician love with the latest AI tech and intense execution to create products that make clinicians happier.

Our first product is an AI scribe that automates medical documentation.

- Acquired 20,000 paying and loving clinicians, >$20M ARR in under two years

- Generate 70,000 patient notes daily using ASR and LLMs, and have saved clinicians 2.7 million hours

- Created a consumer-grade UX, with greater enthusiasm than any product I've seen (https://love.getfreed.ai/b2xGQ1)

- Raised $30M led by Sequoia Capital, and are rapidly expanding our product offering

Our engineering culture emphasizes speed, end-to-end ownership, responsibility, and independence. Our tech stack is React and TypeScript / Node.js.

In addition to engineering, we’re now hiring our third product designer. You'll help shape what design means here, raise the bar for UX, and craft products that make a deep impact. If you’re excited about exploring new AI UX paradigms and making an impact that goes beyond design. Our team is small, kind, mission-driven — and deeply ambitious. We’re looking for someone who’s excited by ambiguity, energized by building, and who cares as much about pixels as they do about people.

Hi, I applied with ruchithagk99@gmail.com. Very excited to connect.

I'm a Product Designer with experience building accessible, intuitive digital experiences in healthcare and AI-powered SaaS. I’ve designed LLM-integrated tools, including an AI advisor and a CLL clinician tool, to reduce burnout, streamline treatment decisions, and improve user outcomes. I bring a developer-informed mindset to ship human-centered products fast.

(Edit: This role was previously remote, but we are now focused on building our in-person offices in NYC and SF).


Hi, love the problem that Freed is solving (I think my family doctor may even be using this as they asked for my permission about AI usage?)

I noticed most of the positions seem to be high in years of experience required, are y'all strict on this?


Not just strict, but their interview process is high-leetcode/old-Google-style.

I wouldn't bother unless you're an ex-FAANG engineer with a hefty resume and regularly practice hard-level algorithmic problems.


Yeah, because we are a remote-first company, we only hire mid-level & senior engineers. I think it does a disservice to early career engineers to work remote. There is a lot you can learn by working in a much higher bandwidth communication setting.


speaking of remote-first, you accept applications only from US and Canada, not Europe, right?

I'm quite interested in this and I see you've indicated REMOTE (US, Canada). I'm Canadian.

But when I go and look at the open roles they are all indicated as US only.

Can you clarify for us if you're open to Canadians applying?

Hi! Just to clarify, your posting here says REMOTE(US,CANADA) but your hiring website says Remote US. Am I right in assuming that you are hiring remotely in Canada for all positions as well?


We'll consider engineering candidates in Canada (Software Engineer, SRE/Infra, AI Engineer, TLM).

I wouldn't bother with this one. Typical wannabe Facebook/Google/etc interview process without actually understanding the point of those companies' interview processes.

You'll get a leetcode/coderbyte question. It doesn't matter if you completely understand the problem, explain the process completely, answer any/all considerations (optimizations, trade-offs, etc), and come to a functional solution; you'll fail unless it's the exact perfectly optimized solution they expected (in 30-40mins, with someone watching over your shoulder).

Basically, a targeted hiring pipeline for people that rote memorize/practice leetcode problems. Not actual engineers.


Is it legal in CA to ask candidates to share salary expectations?

And if not, what's the best thing to put here?


You can leave it blank if you aren't comfortable providing a number. Job scammers often put unrealistically low numbers in there, which is actually a signal in its own right.


Any chance you'll be opening new UX positions in the future?


We currently have two great designers at the company, so we probably won't hire another UX person until later in Q4 after we grow engineering & product a bit.


Consider applying for YC's Fall 2025 batch! Applications are open till Aug 4
