To simplify and improve healthcare delivery through AI and automation.
Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience, required
- Professional software engineering experience, ideally in a high-growth or startup environment
- Strong fullstack skills — Python on the backend (required), Javascript/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
- Track record of driving work from early ideation to successful production deployment
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills with a history of demonstrated resourcefulness
- 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
- We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer for our R&D team at Commure, the team taking emerging technology from inception to impact
- We scout new capabilities — a frontier LLM that can chain tool calls, browser agents that can navigate the web, new agent harnesses that can self improve — and figure out how to productionize them for healthcare
- Our job is the full arc: research the technology, productize it, deliver it to customers, and own it as a P&L until it graduates
- Build the infrastructure that orchestrates, evaluates, and runs sub-agents, including the channel adapters that intelligence flows through
- Get hands-on with the cutting edge — chaining tool calls across LLMs, deploying browser agents, building self-improving harnesses — and turn experimental prototypes into production-level tools and products
- Take a technology from first principles to production: research it, build it into a product, ship it to customers, and own it through graduation to something bigger
- Establish best practices for code quality, testing, deployment, and observability
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and clinical experts to ship intuitive 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.
