Role
Who you are
- Graduation has taken the following shapes in the past:
- Embedded into an existing product — e.g., the AI Copilot in our practice management suite
- Becomes its own product — e.g., Air, the EHR
- Becomes an internal RCM workflow that saves the company millions annually — e.g., EOB web agents and appeal agents
- 4+ years of experience developing software, with a background in shipping products in a fast-paced, rapidly scaling environment
- 1+ years of experience leading engineering teams, including mentoring, performance reviews, and fostering a culture of growth and collaboration
- A strong foundation as an individual contributor, with the ability to roll up your sleeves, dive into the codebase, and problem-solve directly alongside the team when needed
- Strong technical background with expertise in modern backend development (e.g., Python - fastAPI, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes) and frontend development (Javascript - React) to build broad, event-driven platforms
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate strongly with cross-functional teams and effectively present technical concepts to leadership
- A passion for healthcare innovation and making a meaningful impact on patient care
- Experience managing and scaling teams of 8+ engineers, ideally with sub-team leads or tech leads reporting to you
- Proven ability to deliver platform-scale systems that are reliable, maintainable, and scalable
- Proven experience as a technical leader with the ability to make key architectural and strategic decisions that influence the overall product direction
- Proven ability to manage resource allocation, ensuring that projects are completed on time and with the right level of technical rigor
What the job involves
- We are seeking an Engineering Manager who will manage the R&D engineering 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
- Lead and grow a team of 3+ engineers, ensuring clarity of purpose, healthy execution, and strong collaboration
- Maintain the team’s startup mindset as we grow, excelling in fast-paced environments where priorities and objectives can shift
- Own the technical execution and delivery of the backend systems, automation platforms, and agent infrastructure that power this pipeline - ensuring they scale alongside the company
- Partner closely with Product, Ops, and cross-functional teams to translate high-value problems into shipped solutions, filling gaps as necessary across the research-to-production spectrum
- Manage project and resource prioritization, ensuring the team works on the most important work streams with the right level of urgency and technical rigor
- Uphold high standards in system design, code quality, and engineering operations, fostering a culture of reliability and ownership
- Coach and develop engineers, supporting career growth, technical excellence, and a high-performing culture that can move from 0 to 1 and sustain what it builds
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.
