What We're BuildingAs a clinician at Amae, you are not adjacent to this work. You are essential to it.
- A national care delivery model for the highest-acuity patients in behavioral health.

- A clinical operating system that puts longitudinal data, real-time patient signals, and purpose-built tools into a single decision layer for care teams.
- Frontier science and measurement: defining and validating the outcomes frameworks that this field has never had. Hospitalizations avoided, days stable, functional improvement, and more.
- A collaboration model with the country's leading health systems that proves coordinated SMI care can work at scale.

Amae Health is building the care platform, the precision medicine, and the frontier science that severe mental illness has never had. If you want to be part of creating something this hard and this important, something that has never been done, we'd like to talk.
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.
