This shift will put unprecedented pressure on Medicare, which already spends more than $1 trillion each year caring for older adults. Yet the healthcare system is built backwards: reactive instead of preventative, measuring years of life instead of the quality of them.\nSailor Health is building a new care model for aging. We combine behavioral health, healthcare advocacy, wellness classes, and AI care agents into one virtual platform designed for older adults. AI coaches help patients navigate their health between visits, while AI copilots give providers the tools to deliver higher-quality, better-informed care. We partner with Medicare to make our platform affordable and accessible to older adults nationwide.\nSailor has exceptional product-market fit:\nExponential growth: We are honored to serve thousands of patients across all 50 states, with strong organic demand helping make Sailor one of the fastest-growing companies in healthcare.\n\nAI-powered, deeply human care: We harness the power of AI while keeping human connection at the center of care, creating an experience that feels personal, continuous, and deeply human.\n\nTalent-dense team: We are a 25-person team in our NYC office and are backed by the founders of Ramp, Nourish, Headway, Charlie Health, and Spring Health.\n\nLearn more about us here: https://www.sailorhealth.com/careers/corporate\n⭐ About the Role\nWe’re hiring our first Founding Data & Analytics Engineer to architect and scale Sailor’s data foundation, powering everything from clinical insights to AI copilots.
