With Bonfire-Backed Companies

Ex-Founder

About Youlify

At Youlify, we’re rebuilding the broken world of medical billing using AI. Our intelligent agents streamline revenue operations so that physicians and hospitals get paid faster, more accurately, and with far less friction. Backed by top-tier Silicon Valley investors, our founding team brings deep experience across AI, healthcare, and fintech—and we’re moving fast.

If you’re an ex-founder looking to dive back into building without the solo grind, Youlify is the perfect place to channel your experience into high-impact work alongside a world-class team.

Role Overview

We’re hiring an Ex-Founder to join our core team and help scale Youlify from the inside out. This isn’t a job with a predefined playbook—it’s a blank canvas.

As a former founder, you’ve likely worn every hat. Here, you’ll do that again—but with more focus, more support, and less drag. Your role will be shaped around your strengths—whether that’s product, growth, engineering, operations, strategy, or a combination unique to you. You’ll be entrusted with high-leverage problems, end-to-end ownership, and the autonomy to move fast in a mission-driven environment.

We're growing rapidly, and there’s always a frontier where someone like you will thrive.

You will be working directly with our co-founders.

CEO: Bo Gu, MD, former Cardiac Surgeon and Chair of Emergency Department

COO: Sally Liang, MBA, serial entrepreneur who beat Google in enterprise AI search

CTO: Howard Peng, PhD, accomplished AI researcher, 10x AI & full-stack engineer

What We’re Looking For

• You’ve founded or co-founded a startup—or held a founder-level role with wide-ranging scope.
• You thrive in ambiguity, take initiative without waiting, and know how to go from zero to one (and beyond).
• You bring strategic thinking, strong execution instincts, and a bias toward action.
• You want to build again—with a team that matches your ambition and a product that matters.
• You’re energized by fast growth, real-world impact, and doing work that’s never been done before.

Why Youlify?

• Competitive salary & meaningful equity – Be part of the founding team and share in the company’s success.
• Work on a mission-critical problem – Directly impact the lives of physicians and patients, and improve the broken U.S. healthcare payment system.
• Top-tier team & mentorship – Work alongside world-class engineers, AI researchers, and healthcare experts.
• Startup culture with stability – Move fast and build innovative tech with the backing of top Silicon Valley investors.
• Great benefits plan - 100% employer-paid premium medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees
• Lunch included – Enjoy daily company-provided meals at no cost.
• Gym on site – Stay healthy and active with access to an on-site fitness center at no cost.
