Company mission
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 a related field, or equivalent extensive experience
- 5+ years of professional software development industry experience
- Proficiency in frontend languages like Typescript and React
- Proficiency in backend languages like Python or Go
- Experience including but not limited to Git, GCP / AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, relational and non-relational DBs, and monitoring/alerting tools
- Proven track record of designing and implementing end-to-end solutions and making successful architectural decisions
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
What the job involves
- At Commure, our Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) Core team is building the autonomous backend that turns healthcare's most manual financial workflows into intelligent systems. The Rejections & Denials team builds the AI and rules infrastructure that fixes claims autonomously
- The team is turning what used to be repetitive human work (reading a denial, figuring out the fix, correcting the claim, resubmitting, appealing) into auditable, automated workflows
- Build LLM-powered automation that decides how to fix a denied claim, with evals, dry runs, and audit trails rigorous enough to let it act autonomously on real money
- Design guardrails that keep automation safe: identity guards, payer-type guardrails (dental, Medicare A vs. B), duplicate-prevention, and dry-run / QA gates before anything touches production
- Scale a rule engine that runs hundreds of configurable conditions and actions per customer across high transaction volumes — safely, idempotently, and with full explainability for operations teams
- Build the observability that turns a long tail of edge cases into a prioritized roadmap: dashboards for automated resubmission approval rate, denial-to-resubmission cycle time, and failure rates broken down by insurance type, denial category, and site
- Generate appeal letters and medical-record packets automatically, with validation scoring that decides what's safe to send unattended
- Deliver a unified automations console where ops can see and manage every rule engine (billing rules, pre-submission validation, adjustments) in one place
- Contribute to the technical direction of the RCM platform by proposing and implementing improvements to architecture, tools, and technologies
- Build end-to-end products to revolutionize revenue cycle management for providers and administrators
- Take ownership of end-to-end integration workflows, from design and development through to deployment and post-launch monitoring
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, engineering, and healthcare) to gather integration requirements, define technical approaches, and prioritize tasks based on business needs
- Mentor and guide engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning
- Conduct in-depth code reviews, uphold best practices, and drive architectural improvements across the stack
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.
