Nurse Practitioner, Complex Chronic Illness

About the role

Vindara Health is a pioneering, clinician-led telehealth practice dedicated to delivering personalized, one-on-one care to individuals navigating complex, multi-system chronic illnesses. We specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions that are frequently misunderstood or underserved, including Long COVID, ME/CFS, POTS/dysautonomia, and MCAS.

As a nimble, rapidly growing core team — CEO, CTO, CMO, and founding NP — we focus on innovative, evidence-based clinical care, with longitudinal data aggregation and interpretation. We have a robust, active patient waitlist across our initial target states and are seeking our first full-time clinical hire to help scale our impact.

We are looking for an intellectually curious, digitally fluent, and deeply empathetic Nurse Practitioner. In this role, you will manage a dedicated panel of complex patients, collaborating directly with our Chief Medical Officer, David Kaufman, MD, to deliver comprehensive, individualized care.

Key responsibilities

• Comprehensive clinical careConduct thorough virtual evaluations, establish complex differential diagnoses, and manage dynamic, long-term treatment plans for patients presenting with complex health needs.
• Innovative protocol managementComfortably utilize, titrate, and iterate off-label, evidence-based treatments, including Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN), mast cell stabilizers, advanced dysautonomia medication protocols, and strict energy-envelope pacing strategies.
• Patient advocacy & educationDeliver validation-first, trauma-informed care to patients who have experienced historical medical gaslighting. Provide education on pacing, dietary and environmental triggers, and lifestyle adaptations.
• Tech-forward collaborationUtilize our modern tools — including a custom telehealth platform and team communication tools — to maintain high-quality medical documentation and deliver seamless patient care.
• Startup co-creationProvide direct feedback to the executive team (CEO, CTO, and CMO) to help optimize our proprietary clinical workflows, communication and education delivery tools, and digital platform features.

Role details

• Full-time, W-2, 100% remote within the United States
• Reporting to and collaborating directly with our Chief Medical Officer
• A dedicated panel of patients with multi-system chronic illness, cared for over time — not one-off consults

• No on-call

You'll thrive here if you

What matters as much as your CV: you're warm and compassionate, you love solving problems and delivering longitudinal care with patients, and you're self-directed. Things will change as we grow, and you're comfortable with that.

• Are passionate about complex chronic illness and frustrated by how these patients are treated in conventional care
• Want to deliver care with more time and the right tools, rather than fighting insurance companies and charting systems
• Are curious, open to feedback, and want to keep learning
• Enjoy building things — protocols, processes, and a clinical team
• Are comfortable in a small, early-stage environment with evolving workflows
• Can work autonomously and take ownership of your patient panel

This might not be for you if you

• Prefer a highly structured environment with established processes — you'll be helping build ours
• Want a lot of guidance and management in your role — we'll learn from each other, but we need someone who can work autonomously
• Don't like ambiguity — we're early-stage, and projects and priorities will shift
• Are looking for a large clinical team around you from day one — we're a small team that is growing
• Aren't comfortable giving direct feedback — we want you to flag when something should be done differently
