We're Cleerly – a healthcare company that's revolutionizing how heart disease is diagnosed, treated, and tracked. We were founded in 2017 by one of the world's leading cardiologists and are a growing team of world-class engineering, operations, medical affairs, marketing, and sales leaders.

Cleerly has created a new standard of care for heart disease through value-based, AI-driven precision diagnostic solutions with the goal of helping prevent heart attacks. Our technology enables comprehensive quantification and characterization of atherosclerosis in heart arteries. Cleerly's solutions are supported by more than a decade of clinical trials to identify important findings beyond symptoms that increase a person’s risk of heart attacks.

At Cleerly, we collaborate digitally and use a wide variety of systems. Our people use Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides), Slack, Confluence/Jira, and Zoom Video; role- or department-specific technology needs may vary and will be listed as requirements in the job description.
