Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, with several years of experience building and scaling cloud-native systems at a scale-up. You’ve seen what works, and probably a few things that didn’t work. Your opinions are grounded in experience
- Experience building and deploying a complex backend system utilizing Temporal
- Passion for engineering excellence, and a love for data and architecture
- Several years of experience building software for a regulated environment, and understand the tradeoffs that can be required to ensure compliance with regulations and frameworks such as HIPAA, SOC 2, and HITRUST
- Knowledge of industry best-practices and trends, and an enjoyment of learning new things
- Willing to pitch in wherever needed - as a fast-moving startup we need to do good work, quickly
- Strong plus for ability and desire to work in San Francisco or New York on a hybrid working basis
- Must be willing to work from our SF or NYC office at least 3x per week
What the job involves
- Our generative AI-powered products are bringing joy back to the practice of medicine, and we’re looking for experienced backend software engineers to join our growing US-based engineering team
- You’ll be an inaugural member of a new team forming to build the data + processing foundations we need to support our continued growth
- You’ll work primarily in Typescript and Node, and you’ll deploy on platforms like Kubernetes and Temporal
- Design, build, and support the robust cloud-native applications, services, and APIs we need for our rapidly-growing business. Sample projects might include building a new processing pipeline or overhauling our data storage services to support increasing scale
- Research commercial and open-source solutions, and make build vs buy recommendations to bring new capabilities into the technology organization
- Enhance existing systems to add new functionality, and to improve performance, stability, quality, and security. Make quality-of-life improvements to the codebase, and help limit the growth of technical debt
- Build deep user empathy and maintain a user-centric mindset
- Communicate regularly and effectively within and on behalf of our cross-functional product delivery teams. You’ll work with other disciplines including product, machine learning, and platform engineering, and will have opportunities to learn from and contribute to projects across the company
Our take
Summarizing key elements of healthcare conversations is crucial for both physicians and patients. Medical scribes, though effective, are costly, and the healthcare system faces funding and staffing crises. This has created a demand for more efficient notetaking solutions.
This is where Abridge comes in, it has developed a HIPAA-compliant AI platform that transcribes, structures, summarizes, and provides insights from audio or transcripts of medical conversations. It claims to work across all specialities and offers patient-friendly summaries in easy-to-understand language.
Abridge aims to alleviate pressure on the healthcare system from the patient's perspective, a unique approach among healthtech startups. While companies like Inovia, DOUB, and DeepScribe focus on assisting physicians with medical transcription AI, they lack Abridge's patient-centric features, which are valuable in enhancing the patient experience.
