Parsley Health

About us: Parsley Health is reimagining primary care around root-cause, functional medicine. We help members get to the why behind their symptoms by combining medical doctors, health coaches, and modern tooling to deliver care that conventional medicine often misses. We're hiring a fractional product designer to be our design partner across the product, working directly with the founding team on whatever moves the needle next. The opportunity: The contract is fully remote, but if you're based in NYC and open to visiting our office, that is a plus. Minimum of 5 hours per week — we'll shape the engagement around what works for you beyond that floor. Could be more hours, could be project-shaped. The hourly rate for this contract is between $75-$200 per hour, depending on expertise and industry experience. What you’ll do: We're focused on three things, and you'll shape all of them: Growth — the marketing site, acquisition flows, and everything that turns curiosity into committed membership. Clinician tools for delivering functional medicine — the software our doctors and health coaches live in every day. Member experiences for success in functional medicine — the app and portal, where labs, protocols, and long-term behavior change come together. How we design with A.I. Your shape of involvement is bookended. At the front of the process, you help us frame the problem and shape the approach. At the back, you review the big designs, keep them honest to our patterns, and evolve the component library when something new is called for. In between, our engineers are prototyping and shipping with AI every day — your leverage comes from codifying a clear point of view into skills, systems, and guardrails so they can produce work that feels unmistakably Parsley on their own. What you’ll need: A strong product design toolkit. You can take something from rough hypothesis through framing, wireframes, polished UI, prototype, and handoff. You're fluent across IA, interaction, and visual craft. You work with AI as a collaborator, and you're a natural mentor to engineers prototyping with it. Your work doesn't need a caretaker. An entrepreneurial mindset. We'll often hand you an abstract goal — "make onboarding feel like a relationship, not a form" — and trust you to come back with a concrete way forward. You're comfortable with ambiguity, you ask sharp questions, and you ship. Healthcare or health tech experience is a plus. Important note: In light of recent increase in hiring scams, if you're selected to move onto the next phase of our hiring process, a member of our Talent Acquisition team will reach out to you directly from an @parsleyhealth.com email address to guide you through our interview process.

Principal Engineer Parsley Health · Engineering · Remote (US), with 2–5 days/month in our NYC office · Full-time About Parsley Health Parsley Health is rebuilding primary care around root-cause, whole-person medicine. Our members get board-certified clinicians, health coaches, advanced testing, and a care platform that connects the dots across all of it. The moment We're at the start of the most interesting engineering chapter in our company's history. The team is small, the surface area is large, and the decisions we make over the next year — about architecture, tooling, hiring, and how humans and AI build software together — will shape the product for years. We're hiring the engineer who can be at the center of that. The role As Principal Engineer, you're the senior-most individual contributor on a small, high-leverage team. Your main job is to ship new products and systems, fast, at a high quality bar , with AI as a core capability in how you work. You set the bar — for product judgment, code quality, design, production rigor, and hiring — through the example of your own work. You also own and maintain the infrastructure and backend that carry the product. It's not your full-time focus, but you understand the stack deeply enough to keep it healthy, debug it when it matters, and make the right architectural calls when they come up. You'll work directly with the VP of Engineering and partner across Product, Clinical, and Security. What you'll do in your first 6 months Ship new product surface area, fast. Take new ideas from zero to production with a quality bar that makes the rest of the team raise theirs. AI is how you compress weeks into days. Stand up AI-native workflows for the team. Define how we use Claude, Cursor, and the rest of the toolchain — patterns, evals, guardrails, prompts — so AI leverage is a team capability, not a personal habit. Keep the foundations healthy. Own the backend and infra well enough to make sure nothing brittle ships and production stays boring. CI/CD, deploy hygiene, observability, architecture decisions. Set the hiring bar. Be the technical screen and the reason strong candidates say yes. What we're looking for Primary requirements A track record of using AI to build real products and systems dramatically faster than the old way — with no loss of quality. You have strong, lived opinions about where AI tools shine and where they lie, and shipped work that proves it. Excellent product judgment. You understand the user, you know what to build and what to cut, and you make the calls that a junior engineer would defer up. An unusually high quality bar for code, design, production rigor, and what "done" means. Founding-engineer DNA — or an ex-CTO/VPE coming back to the code. You're effective in small, high-trust teams with wide scope and ambiguous problems. Important, but not the most critical Solid backend experience in Go or Kotlin (strong preference for both) — enough to own services, not just pass them through. Competent with AWS or GCP (preference for GCP) and with production Kubernetes . You can debug it, evolve it, and know when to stop improving it. Full-stack comfort across Node/TypeScript services and React/Next.js on the frontend. Compensation & Benefits Generous compensation package based on experience Equity stake for all employees based on role level 401(k) + Employer Matching program Hybrid opportunity with remote work and on site at our NYC HQ Complimentary Parsley Health Complete Care membership Subsidized Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance plan options Generous flexible time off plan Annual professional development stipend Annual wellness stipend Parsley Health is committed to providing an equitable, fair and transparent compensation program for all employees. The starting salary for this role is between $240,000 - $350,000 , depending on skills and experience. We take a geo-neutral approach to compensation within the US, meaning that we pay based on job function and level, not location. Individual compensation decisions are based on a number of factors, including experience level, skillset, and balancing internal equity relative to peers at the company. We expect the majority of the candidates who are offered roles at our company to fall healthily throughout the range based on these factors. We recognize that the person we hire may be less experienced (or more senior) than this job description as posted. If that ends up being the case, the updated salary range will be communicated with candidates during the process. At Parsley Health we believe in celebrating everything that makes us human and are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We embrace diversity and are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We believe that the more inclusive we are, the better we can serve our members.
