TheraPlug | Founding CTO / Technical Lead | Detroit preferred; remote considered | Equity-first, pre-funding
I’m Marcelus Brice, founder of TheraPlug (https://theraplug.health). We’re building a behavioral health platform focused on making it easier for patients to find appropriate therapists and access care through insurance, starting in Detroit.
We’re looking for a hands-on technical leader who can build alongside a lean team and help recruit its founding engineers. You don’t need a previous CTO title, but you should have shipped and operated production software.
The product will support iOS, Android and responsive web, including:
• Patient and provider onboarding, scheduling and secure messaging. • AI-assisted therapist matching based on clinical needs, preferences, insurance and availability. • Provider credential verification and payer enrollment workflows. • Insurance eligibility checks and estimated patient costs. • Secure video sessions and clinician-reviewed AI documentation.
Relevant experience includes full-stack development, mobile apps, healthcare integrations, sensitive-data security and practical AI implementation. We value clear architecture, accessible design and thoughtful use of established services.
Compensation: We are pre-funding and cannot offer an immediate cash salary. We’re seeking someone interested in an equity-first founding role, with a planned transition to salary when funding supports payroll. Equity, responsibilities, time commitment and compensation triggers would be agreed in writing before work begins. Funding timing is not guaranteed.
To start a conversation, email marcelus@theraplug.health with: • Products you’ve built and your specific contribution. • Relevant healthcare, security or AI experience. • Your location and realistic availability before funding. • Your interest in leading and assembling a small development team.
I can share the detailed product scope and team requirements.

Hi HN, I'm the founder of Proofline. We're building an infrastructure-aware AI code reviewer that catches deployment failures before they reach production. Think of it as a type checker for your cloud infrastructure. We analyze code changes against Terraform, live cloud environments, and deployment evidence rather than just reading diffs.

Stack: Rust, Go, PostgreSQL, React/TypeScript, Terraform, AWS, GCP.

To apply, ship a small feature PR to one of our open-source developer tools and email careers@proofline.sh with the link. If you have 10+ years of relevant experience and an established online presence showcasing your technical work, you can skip the PR and share your best work with us instead.
