About Terra API
Terra is the leading health operating system: We make it easy for developers and AI to build on health data. 1,000s of developers and AI labs build on Terra today. We process 15+ billion health data events per year and we are just getting started. Terra was founded in 2021 and operates from London, San Francisco, and South Korea. We are funded by Y Combinator (W21), General Catalyst, Samsung NEXT, NEXT Ventures, and many of the world's finest investors. At Terra, we are a team of engineers, researchers, builders, and designers. We hire people who get things done, think from first principles, and learn ferociously. We default to yes, ship fast and hack. We are looking for builders, who don't do bureaucracy.
