About Circadia Health
Circadia Health is a growth‑stage healthcare AI company on a mission to prevent avoidable hospitalizations and transform senior‑care operations. Our Circadia Intelligence Platform combines:
Contactless sensing that monitors respiration and motion with medical‑grade accuracy
Predictive analytics & agentic AI workflows that detect 85 % of preventable rehospitalizations ~11 days in advance
Enterprise integrations that embed insights directly into EHR, care‑coordination, billing, and compliance systems
Today our technology touches 40,000+ post‑acute patients daily across skilled‑nursing, home‑health, and home‑care networks. We are backed by leading healthcare and AI investors and headquartered in El Segundo, CA.
In this role, you will own and scale Circadia’s hiring engine, partnering closely with Clinical Operations, Executive Leadership, Product Design Engineering, and Go-to-Market functions to ensure we attract, assess, and onboard world-class talent—primarily Nurse Practitioners, Physicians (MD/DO), Engineers, and Customer Success—to support our rapid growth across post-acute care.

Why This Role Exists
Our technology is only as powerful as the clinicians and operators who bring it to life. As we expand nationally across skilled nursing, home health, and virtual care, we need a leader who can build and scale a world-class clinical talent engine—while also architecting the People infrastructure that supports retention, engagement, and operational excellence. You will own end-to-end recruiting (NPs and MD/DOs) that enables Circadia to scale responsibly, compliantly, and fast.
This is not just a recruiting role. It is a scale role.
