About SiPhox Health

SiPhox Health is building the leading home testing platform for biomarkers across inflammation, hormones, and metabolic and cardiovascular health. Six in ten Americans live with a chronic disease, and our mission is to make early detection possible from home.

We operate two business lines, both scaling quickly:

• Mail-in blood testing: Growing more than 50% quarter over quarter, and the most comprehensive and highly rated at-home blood testing available today.
• At-home blood testing device: Planned launch in 2027. Our chip-based module combines biochemistry with integrated photonics, electronics, and microfluidics, protected by more than 50 patents.

SiPhox is an MIT startup backed by Tier I investors including Y Combinator, Khosla Ventures, and Intel Capital.

The Role

Customer support is the front line of SiPhox Health, a fast-moving, highly technical startup operating in a complex, high-trust, and personal health and wellness space.
