Amae Health is a venture-backed Public Benefit Corporation that delivers specialty outpatient care for people living with severe mental illness. We design and operate high-acuity, in-person clinics across the United States. Our model integrates psychiatry, therapy, primary care, dietitians, and community health workers under one roof to deliver coordinated, longitudinal care for a population that has historically been fragmented across systems.

• A clinical operating system that puts longitudinal data, real-time patient signals, and purpose-built tools into a single decision layer for care teams.
• Frontier science and measurement: defining and validating the outcomes frameworks that this field has never had. Hospitalizations avoided, days stable, functional improvement, and more.
• A collaboration model with the country's leading health systems that proves coordinated SMI care can work at scale.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Associate level: $75,000–$90,000, based on hours
• Licensed level: $90,000–$115,000, based on experience

Plus performance-based bonus opportunity. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage. Parental leave and programs built around well-being. We'll share specifics during the interview process.

What We Value:

• We center care in all we do. Empathy is not a brand value. It's how we make clinical decisions, build products, and treat each other.
• We challenge convention. The existing system is the problem. We question it, we test alternatives, and we move with urgency when something works.
• We take the work seriously, not ourselves. High standards and humanity are not in tension. We hold a hard bar for quality while leaving room for humor and levity.
• Your job isn't done until the job is done. We close gaps, we follow through, and we don't hide behind titles or org charts.
• We win together and fail together. We own outcomes as a team. We learn fast. We don't do blame.
• We hustle with humility. Speed matters. So does integrity. We assume best intent and stay grounded in the mission.
