Full Job Description
The Role

We are hiring a Psychiatrist (Full-Time/Part-Time) to join our interdisciplinary team at our new clinic opening early 2027 in Irvine, CA. This onsite role is central to delivering personalized, compassionate, high-quality care to individuals with serious mental illness (SMI).

What You Will Work On
  • Provide behavioral healthcare management to Amae Health patients; monitor and manage care through an array of treatment modalities as patients progress through phases of recovery
  • Develop individualized treatment plans during the engagement and stabilization phase, focused on specific psychosocial and medical needs that might limit recovery
  • Provide continuous, regular consultations as patients navigate recovery, both in person and occasionally virtually
  • Liaise with patient care teams and collaborate with behavioral health providers to ensure an integrated, cohesive approach to care
  • Address medical needs to mitigate negative impacts of social determinants of health

What You'll Have
  • Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Psychiatrist, with a CA license and DEA that are active, unrestricted, and in good standing
  • In possession of or willing to obtain Clozapine REMS certification
  • Prior experience with mental health and/or addiction issues; familiarity with the medical, mental health, and social service systems in the Irvine area
  • Holistic perspective on health and understanding of patient rights
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a wide range of settings with people from diverse backgrounds
  • Comfort working one-on-one or in group settings; strong coaching and negotiation skills
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills and ease adapting in a dynamic environment
  • Solid understanding of technology and a passion for utilizing technology to improve care delivery

What We're Building

As 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.
  • Precision medicine for SMI. Individualized treatment informed by multimodal clinical, behavioral, and social data.
  • 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.

Compensation & Benefits

Amae Health is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. Base salary range for this role is $300,000-$330,000 per year (full time) + performance-based bonus opportunity. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage. Parental leave and programs built around well-being. Note that part-time comp and benefits packages will vary depending on schedule. We'll share specifics during the interview process.

If you want to practice at the top of your license, learn from the best in academic medicine, contribute to research that is defining a new field, and do it all inside a team that was actually built for this work, 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.
