Job Description WHO WE ARE Amae Health is a Series B, venture-backed Public Benefit Corporation that delivers specialty outpatient care for people with severe mental illness. We build and operate high-acuity, in-person clinics nationally. Our model integrates psychiatry, therapy, primary care, dietitians, and community support under one roof. It has proven itself as the most effective in the country, which is why we collaborate with leading health systems including NewYork-Presbyterian, Cedars-Sinai, Mass General Brigham, Novant Health, and CommonSpirit to extend our care to where it's needed most. But what makes us fundamentally different is that we are also building the science and technology layer that this field has never had. We are developing proprietary clinical protocols, designing novel measurement science, and engineering an AI data science platform purpose-built for the complexity of severe mental illness.

Connected to academic medicine without the bureaucracy of working inside it. Shape the science. We are developing precision medicine for SMI, designing novel outcomes frameworks, and conducting frontier research for this population. Your clinical work generates data that feeds into our science, and our science feeds back into your care. This is not a setting where research happens somewhere else. Clinics designed for the work and the people. Our spaces are intentionally designed, warm, and built to feel unlike a typical mental health clinic. The environment matters for our members, and it matters for the clinicians who spend their days in it. A career you can sustain. Burnout in this field is a systems problem, not a personal failing.

More About Amae:'Amae', pronounced 'Ah-mai', is a Japanese concept meaning the need to be in good favor with, and the ability to depend on, the people around oneself. It reflects our core belief that a strong support system is essential to build people up, strengthen their will to carry on and even to thrive in life. This mentality applies across our whole company – from the patients we serve to the team we're building. 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.Amae Health is an equal opportunity employer and encourages all applicants from every background and life experience to apply.
