Founding Engineer - Physical AI / Health
The Opportunity
EQL Tech is partnering with PhormAI to hire its first engineer. PhormAI is building Darwin, a Physical AI platform for Health & Wellness that turns multimodal sensor data - wearables, video, IMU, ECG, EMR - into clinical-grade insight through agentic AI. It's not a prototype: Darwin is live with paying customers in two distinct verticals today - equine cardiac monitoring (animal health) and tele-ICU intelligence across multiple hospitals (human health) - with the architecture built to extend into further verticals by swapping domain ontologies rather than rebuilding the stack.
You'd own significant portions of the Darwin platform end-to-end — the data and model pipelines, cloud infrastructure, the agentic AI runtime, and the application layer built on top. You work directly with all three founders on architecture and technical strategy.
The Role
You own the technical foundation of the product: data and model pipelines, cloud infrastructure, developer tooling, and the application layer built on top of it.
- Data pipelines - build the systems that ingest, process, and transform data for the models.
- Cloud infrastructure - stand up and operate compute, storage, networking, and deployment from scratch.
- Orchestration - connect ingestion, training, inference, evaluation, and serving into one coherent pipeline.
- Agentic runtime — build
