Founding CTO (Healthcare Startup) at Redcellpartners

About Us Red Cell Partners is an incubation firm building and investing in rapidly scalable technology-led companies that are bringing revolutionary advancements to market in three distinct practice areas: healthcare, cyber, and national security. United by a shared sense of duty and deep belief in the power of innovation, Red Cell is developing powerful tools and solutions to address our Nation’s most pressing problems. About Savoy Life Savoy Life is a technology-enabled healthcare services startup focused on making healthcare work for seniors and their caregivers. We exist because the senior population is exploding, medical spend is already out of control, and poorly coordinated care is wasting tens of billions of dollars every year. At the same time, the two resources we need most to address this problem - caregivers and primary care providers - are stretched thinner than ever. Savoy aims to make aging better by restoring agency to seniors and integrating caregiving into the heart of healthcare to allow seniors to spend more quality days at home - and fewer days in the hospital. Today, this includes going into individual homes as well as partnering with senior living communities to coordinate and manage clinical gaps for these seniors, their caregivers, and the care ecosystem. Savoy deploys a team of clinical experts both in-person and virtually paired with proprietary technology to drive clinical outcomes – without disrupting the current care. What You’ll Do Build Savoy Life's Technology Platform from the Ground Up Partner directly with our CEO and COO to design, architect, and build the technical foundation that powers Savoy Life’s caregiving‑first model. You will own the creation of our data infrastructure, intelligence layer, and early products that unify caregiving and clinical data—enabling risk stratification, clinical decision support, and scalable continuous care. Your work will transform today’s human‑intensive process into a proprietary, tech‑enabled platform that can serve seniors everywhere, not just in senior living facilities.
