Developmental Pediatrician

About the Role We are building a 360-degree early childhood development platform supporting families of children aged 0–3 years through structured learning modules, coaching, digital tracking, and guided home environments. We are looking for a

Developmental Pediatrician

to anchor clinical accuracy, strengthen developmental screening frameworks, and guide intervention pathways for families requiring deeper support. This is not a routine OPD role. This is a systems-building, parent-facing, and protocol-design role.

Key Responsibilities

1. Developmental Framework & Screening Review and validate milestone frameworks aligned with: World Health Organization (WHO developmental indicators) UNICEF early childhood guidance American Academy of Pediatrics surveillance guidelines Strengthen red-flag identification protocols (motor, language, social-emotional, sensory). Guide referral pathways (speech therapy, OT, physiotherapy, neurology, etc.)

2. Parent-Facing Education Conduct structured live sessions for parents (sleep, feeding, motor delays, screen exposure, regulation). Co-create video modules on: Early brain development When to worry vs when to observe Understanding “late bloomer” vs developmental delay Review scripts for medical accuracy (non-clinical, parent-friendly tone).

3. Case Review & Escalation Support Offer periodic review of flagged developmental cases. Design decision trees for escalation: Monitor Home program Specialist referral Support child development coaches with supervision guidelines.

4. Systems & AI Integration (High-Leverage Role) Help structure: Developmental data inputs Red flag logic Escalation thresholds Contribute to building a structured knowledge base for AI-assisted parent guidance (without replacing medical judgment).
