Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, required

- Strong Fullstack skills — Python on the backend (required), TypeScript/React on the frontend, with working knowledge of containers and cloud (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Hands-on experience integrating LLM APIs or building AI-powered features in production
- Strong communication skills — comfortable working with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders including clinical teams
- Experience in fast-moving environments where shipping quickly is the norm
What the job involves
- At Commure, our Air AI team is building the intelligence layer that lives inside the clinical workflow, that listens, documents, reasons, and acts so clinicians don't have to
- You'll work across documentation that transcribes patient visits and structures them into clinical notes in real-time, a conversational clinical assistant grounded in live patient context and medical literature, and an extensible AI Skills Library of reusable agents and workflows that automates clinical tasks across the platform
- If you want to build AI that clinicians trust with their most critical work, this is that team
- Leverage modern backend, data, and AI or LLM technologies to accelerate product development and deliver reliable, intelligent experiences to clinicians and patients
- Design, implement, and maintain scalable backend systems that power healthcare solutions, from product features and AI workflows to integrations, migrations, and reporting infrastructure
- Lead or contribute to technical planning for new features and platform capabilities, balancing feasibility, clinical usability, data integrity, and business impact
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and clinical experts to ship dependable solutions that work in real clinical environments
- Be part of a fast-moving team that celebrates large ambition, ships daily, and makes decisions quickly
Our take
Today, healthcare providers are tackling the growing challenge of too much paperwork and too little time for patients. Many existing electronic health record (EHR) systems only add to the problem - digital, yes, but often too clunky, time-consuming, and disconnected from the tools doctors actually need. Athelas is tackling this by reimagining how healthcare software works, helping providers spend less time lcicking and more time caring for people.
Athelas offers a full suite of tools that combine AI-powered automation, remote patient monitoring (RPM), and integrated EHR and billing systems. And its newest platform, Athelas AIR, is a next-generation EHR designed to unify clinical and administrative workflows in one intelligent system. By embedding revenue cycle management (RCM) and ambient AI documentation directly into the platform, Athelas AIR streamlines everything from charting to billing. And the goal is simple, to reduce administrative burden, improve margins, and ultimately, give healthcare teams a smoother, smarter way to work.
The company has made significant strides in recent years. After reaching unicorn status in 2022 and merging with Commure in 2023, Athelas is now valued at around $6B and continues to expand its platform. Alongside growing adoption of Athelas AIR, the company has recently secured FDA clearance for its Athelas Home device - an AI-powered diagnostic tool that delivers lab-grade blood test results from a fingerstick in minutes. This allows care teams to test, diagnose, and make decisions in a single visit. With a growing customer base and a broader push into AI-driven diagnostics as well as software, Athelas is ready to be a leader in end-to-end, intelligent healthcare infrastructure.
