Knit Health
Healthcare AI platform optimizing clinical operations
Knit Health is building a novel clinical foundation model to improve how healthcare is delivered. We combine expertise in AI with deep clinical knowledge to develop safe, trustworthy systems that improve care, expand access, and reduce waste.
Knit is led by a founding team with roots at the University of California, Berkeley. The team has developed a novel AI architecture designed to reason like physicians. We are now using that foundation model, together with frontier clinical LLMs, to build a next-generation clinical intelligence platform for healthcare providers.
We are venture backed and work with U.S.-based health systems and data providers.
As a Data Engineer II at Knit Health, you'll be a foundational member of a small, high-impact team building the data infrastructure behind our clinical AI platform. You'll help develop the clinical world data model that powers our AI systems, transforming complex healthcare data into reliable inputs for model training, research, and real-world applications.
We're looking for candidates with strong engineering fundamentals, experience building production data systems, and the ability to independently solve complex technical problems.
We value demonstrated engineering capability over a specific educational path. A background in computer science, engineering, mathematics, physics, or a related technical discipline is valuable, but we also welcome candidates who have developed equivalent expertise through hands-on experience.
San Francisco, CA preferred, with a hybrid work arrangement of two to three days per week in the office. Remote candidates may be considered based on experience and qualifications.
Knit Health offers a competitive compensation package that includes base salary, equity, and opportunities for advancement. The starting salary range is approximately $150,000 to $175,000 per year.

Healthcare AI platform optimizing clinical operations
Knit Health builds an AI platform that serves as a healthcare-native intelligence layer to improve hospital operations and patient care. Its Large Clinical Behavior Model is trained on de-identified EHR data from over 130 million patients via Truveta and uses deep reinforcement learning, causal inference, and behavioral cloning to guide actions like patient flow, triage, and resource allocation within existing hospital workflows. It differentiates itself by prioritizing real-world clinical practice as the source of truth and by serving as an infrastructure layer that can adapt to each health system’s patterns rather than relying on medical literature alone. Its goal is to become the foundational platform for clinical decisions, enabling continuous improvement in care delivery and patient outcomes through a closed loop of real-world data informing model updates.
