About Alva Health

Alva Health is developing a wearable neuromonitoring platform with the first indication in real-time stroke

detection. We are a Yale University spinout company that is backed by Techstars, the National Science

Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. Alva Health’s mission is to develop a wearable medical

device to monitor stroke at home and to allow for the initiation of emergency response in a timely

manner. Our patented technology uses wearable sensors to continuously monitor and detect

hemiparesis, one of the hallmarks of stroke onset. Once deployed, our solution will dramatically improve

stroke emergency response and increase the number of patients receiving IV tPA and other reperfusion

therapies in the acute setting. Alva Health was recently named the Grand Prize winner out of 1100

applicants at the 2021 MedTech Innovator competition. The company has raised $2M in non-dilutive

grant funding to date, and we are preparing to raise a Seed round to accelerate through the next

development phases.

Alva Health is looking for an experienced Full Stack Engineer to join our development team. As a Full

Stack Engineer, you will be a key contributor to the development of our first product, a cloud-connected

wrist-worn device for long-term, continuous monitoring and detection of stroke onset at home. You will be

applications. Your responsibilities will extend from designing system architecture to high-level

programming, performance testing, and systems integration. To ensure success in this role, you should
