Company Description

We are partnering with a rapidly growing Series A healthcare AI company that’s transforming how medical systems operate. Backed by premier investors including YC and General Catalyst, the company has raised $14M and is solving some of the most complex operational challenges in American healthcare using cutting-edge AI. Their flagship platform streamlines prior authorization workflows by analyzing EHR data, accelerating patient access to care, and improving provider revenue.

Despite being early-stage, the company has already signed enterprise contracts with major U.S. health systems and is scaling quickly. They are looking for mission-driven engineers who are eager to make a meaningful impact in healthcare using modern machine learning and language models.

What You Will Do

  • Design and develop LLM-powered pipelines to process various medical documents, including handwritten clinical notes.

  • Build production-ready question-answering systems that extract actionable insights from structured and unstructured patient data.

  • Create ML solutions that automate integrations between EHR platforms and other healthcare infrastructure systems.

  • Own ML features from research and experimentation to scalable deployment in real-world healthcare environments.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with the product and engineering teams to align machine learning solutions with business goals.

  • Continuously iterate on and improve ML models, pipelines, and infrastructure to ensure performance and scalability.

Ideal Candidate Background

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying production-grade machine learning systems.

  • Strong expertise in training and fine-tuning large language models (LLMs), beyond basic API use.

  • Deep understanding of ML frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow.

  • Proven success in roles at companies with mature ML environments (e.g., FAANG, AI startups, or top-tier ML-focused orgs).

  • Prior work in document processing, information extraction, or question-answering systems.

Preferred

  • MS or PhD in Computer Science or a related STEM discipline, or equivalent industry research and production experience.

  • Exposure to fast-paced startup environments with small, collaborative teams.

  • Contributions to ML research or publications are a plus, but not required.

  • Experience in healthcare tech or working with EHR data is a bonus.

Compensation and Benefits

  • Base Salary: $140,000 - $240,000

  • Equity: 0.2% - 0.8% stock options

  • Visa Sponsorship: H1B transfers supported

  • Work Schedule: Full onsite presence (5 days/week), working west coast hours

  • Additional Perks: Join a tight-knit engineering team of 11, with high-impact ownership and the opportunity to help shape the future of healthcare AI from the ground up.
