About This Position

The Role
This role is specifically for students participating in the Northeastern University co-op program and is a full-time (40 hours/week), 6-month opportunity aligned to the July–December co-op cycle.

Candidates must be based in the Boston area. While Function Health is a fully remote company, this role includes one week of in-person onboarding in Boston, followed by monthly in-person meetups for the duration of the program.

Function Health is building the most comprehensive health platform on the planet. The Navigating Care team is building a concierge doctor in your pocket. We build the underlying system that interprets member biology to provide clinically grounded planning and actions the way a doctor would. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of AI and healthcare.

Your work won't land in a dashboard no one checks. It will land in the hands of members making high-stakes decisions about their health

What You'll Work On
You'll join a small team tackling real, high-impact problems at the core of the Navigating Care experience:
Clinical Reasoning Engine. Work on the system that interprets member biology to provide clinically grounded planning and actions. Turn lab results, biomarkers, and health data into personalized, doctor-quality recommendations.
Agentic Chat. Help build our AI doctor, a conversational experience that can reason about a member's health, answer questions, and guide them through next steps with the depth and care of a real physician.
Adherence Automation. Build systems that help members follow through on their health guidance. Design intelligent nudges, reminders, and follow-ups that adapt to each member's needs and progress.

What We're Looking For
  • AI-native workflow. You already use LLMs as a daily tool to write, debug, and reason through problems. You know how to steer a model toward useful output and when to stop prompting and start thinking.
  • Strong fundamentals in backend or full-stack development
  • Interest in LLMs, agentic systems, and applied AI
  • Comfortable working with APIs, data pipelines, and cloud environments (GCP experience is a plus, not a requirement)
  • Curiosity about healthcare, clinical data, or how technology can improve health outcomes
  • A bias toward making things simpler, not just adding more
  • Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field

Join the Function Health team and become a part of our mission to revolutionize healthcare. Work with us to make a difference in the lives of thousands, ensuring a healthier future for all. Discover more about us and how we're changing the face of healthcare at Function Health.
