The posting

Founded in 2020 and based in Silicon Valley, Empo Health is a seed-funded, VC-backed, and NSF-supported startup developing revolutionary in-home health monitoring products. Empo Health's first product, the FDA-listed Empo Footprint, is an in-home foot-imaging scale that helps doctors and patients monitor for early signs of diabetic foot ulcers. By helping them identify foot complications and risk factors before they escalate into more serious issue, Empo's product aims to assist clinicians with preventing amputations and saving lives.

As a critical member of our small, fast-paced team, you will work closely with the founders and other early team members. You should be comfortable evaluating the execution of existing processes, suggesting new processes, and collaborating across a variety of team functions. If you’re passionate about remote care and helping prevent the worst outcomes for diabetic patients, then we’d love to hear from you!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
