Together with the broader team, you will work on AI-native products that correct clinical errors for hundreds of thousands of patients, and deliver hundreds of millions of dollars in measurable value for our customers.

These products improve the quality of physician documentation, help clinicians identify missing diagnoses, convert documentation to medical codes and ensure financial integrity for health systems.

  • Work alongside strong subject matter experts on complex, challenging problems that span from high-stakes clinical diagnoses to regulated medical billing with no easy answers.
  • Deploy the evaluation frameworks and experimentation loops that deliver reliable, production-grade systems. You'll use data-driven and statistical approaches to balance across medical coding guidelines, user feedback, and auditability.
  • Partner directly with product, clinical, and revenue cycle experts to push the frontier of what AI can do inside the healthcare revenue cycle.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor of Science in Computer Science/Software Engineering or related field
  • 3+ years in a technical role with a strong foundation in AI and data analysis or backend systems
  • 1+ years shipping production AI systems to end users
  • Experience designing offline/online evaluations and landing agentic systems
  • Proficiency in Python
  • Thrives in a startup environment working on challenging problems
  • Healthcare technology experience (EDI,HL7,FHIR) is a plus

What We Offer

  • Flexible paid time off (PTO)
  • Expansive coverage for health, dental, and vision
  • Employer contribution to Health Savings Accounts (HSA)
  • Generous parental leave policy
  • Full employee coverage for life insurance
  • Home office stipend
  • Cell phone/internet reimbursement
  • Company-paid holidays
  • 401(K) plan

Compensation

  • Based on market data and other factors, the salary range for this position is $180,000-$250,000 + Equity. However, a salary higher or lower than this range may be appropriate for a candidate whose qualifications differ meaningfully from those listed in the job description.
