Lead Founding Engineer | Axo

Location: Sugar Land / Houston, TX (HYBRID)
Employment Type: Full-time
Compensation: $120k–$160k + Founding Equity


About the Role

We are building Axo to make the software layer as invisible and ambient as possible, allowing clinicians to direct 100% of their attention to patients rather than screens. Our first market is orthotics and prosthetics (O&P), a field currently underserved by the tech sector.

You will join as a founding engineer working directly with the founders (a former Google SWE and a leading O&P clinician). You will own massive surfaces end-to-end, making foundational architectural decisions for our entire platform. Additionally, we participate in humanitarian missions to expand prosthetic access in regions like Ukraine and Sri Lanka.

The Tech Stack

  • Languages/Frameworks: C#/.NET, gRPC, SolidJS/TypeScript
  • Database: PostgreSQL
  • Methodology: Strict domain-driven design and rigorous testing

How We Work

We prioritize flexibility and results. Whether you prefer AI-assisted coding or writing by hand, we focus on delivering safely and quickly.

Requirements

  • Senior-level depth with production systems.
  • A strong habit of domain modeling.
  • A philosophy that defaults to simplicity.
  • Strong UI/UX experience with an obsession for user simplicity.
  • Must be located in Texas.
