Job description

ABOUT UPDOC At UpDoc updoc.ai, we are building the first clinically validated, physician-supervised AI agent that manages chronic diseases. We are an early-stage startup founded by Stanford physicians. We are seeking a Clinical Product Lead (MD) to own the clinical design and help drive development of UpDoc’s AI-enabled chronic disease products. This is a hands-on product role for a physician with strong clinical judgment and product instincts. This is a remote role. WHO YOU ARE You’re an experienced physician who thinks like a product builder. You can take an ambiguous clinical problem, determine how the product should address it, make thoughtful tradeoffs, and work with a cross-functional team to ship it. You’re comfortable being the clinical decision-maker for the areas you own and excited to work hands-on with AI systems. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own the clinical design of the product areas you lead, including care pathways, interventions, escalation criteria, safety boundaries, and expected system behavior. - Drive clinical product initiatives from problem definition through launch and iteration, translating clinical needs into product requirements, acceptance criteria, and product decisions. - Work hands-on with UpDoc’s AI agent, reviewing conversations and clinical trajectories, identifying failure modes, and defining how the system should behave. - Partner closely with product, engineering, design, and clinical colleagues to drive cross-functional execution of the initiatives you own. - Evaluate product performance and help shape the clinical product roadmap, using feedback, data, and real-world clinical needs to guide improvements. WHAT YOU'LL NEED - MD or DO degree, completion of residency training, and board certification or eligibility. - Meaningful direct patient-care experience and strong clinical judgment. - Experience in healthcare technology, digital health, clinical software, or technology-enabled care. - Strong product judgment and demonstrated ability to turn clinical problems into practical product decisions. - Experience working closely with Product, Engineering, Design, Data, or other technical teams. - Comfort working hands-on in a fast-moving, early-stage environment. HIGHLY DESIRED - Experience owning or building a healthcare product or significant product feature. - Experience in an early-stage digital health, healthcare technology, or AI company. - Experience with AI-enabled clinical products, generative AI, LLMs, or clinical decision support. - Experience in chronic disease management, primary care, cardiometabolic health, or longitudinal care. - Clinical informatics, EHR, or healthcare interoperability experience. Compensation The expected base salary range for this position is $250,000 - $350,000 annually, depending on experience and qualifications. This role is also eligible for equity and benefits.
