Job Description

Akido is rebuilding the healthcare experience from the ground up. Through early interventions designed around social determinants of health (SDoH), world-class care focused on chronic disease, and human-centered technology, we believe we can build a healthcare model that allows for all patients to live their fullest lives. We are a fast-growing, impact-focused, Y Combinator company created out of the University of Southern California's D-Health Lab with the idea that empowering government, healthcare, and nonprofit services with population-based data could help usher in a new era of preventive public health. Today we are building a full stack medical network that leverages our predictive capabilities to provide a frictionless experience for both our patients and care providers.

The Opportunity

We're hiring an LVN to lead in-field medication administration for Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)—with a focus on long-acting injectables (e.g., buprenorphine and naltrexone) under prescriber orders. You'll pair excellent nursing fundamentals with clear, timely documentation and tight coordination with providers and Community Health Workers (CHWs) to keep patients engaged and on schedule

What you'll do

• Administer MAT injections and long acting injectables in the field per standing orders / prescriber direction; monitor for adverse events; document lot, site, and response in real time.
• Own your day plan : independently plan routes, stack visits, and manage time to maximize completed nursing visits and on-time injections; adjust dynamically as patient needs change.
• Perform focused nursing visits in street settings : vitals, symptom / side-effect checks, basic wound care, withdrawal / COWS monitoring, vaccination, and patient education.
• Manage cold chain & supplies (secure transport, temperature logs, inventory, kit readiness, sharps handling / disposal).
• Coordinate with prescribers, CHWs, and pharmacies to confirm eligibility, arrange deliveries / pickups, and re-engage patients if doses are missed.
• Document thoroughly in Akido systems (EHR / case-management platform) to maintain continuity across the multidisciplinary team.
• Promote harm reduction & safety (naloxone education / distribution ; escalate per protocol; support transitions of care).
• Participate in brief huddles / case conferences, contribute to quality improvement, and update protocols for field-based MAT delivery.
• Other duties as assigned.
