Job details

Founding Engineer

At Amperos Health, we’re building AI coworkers to tackle the biggest administrative problems in US healthcare. Our first AI coworker automates calling insurance to find out why a claim was denied and how to fix it.

Our vision is that providers have a suite of AI co-workers that supercharge their workforce by dealing with all the workflows related to insurance, meaning they can spend less time on administrative tasks and more on what healthcare is meant to be about: patient care.

We’re searching for Founding Engineers to join our team on this journey of applying generative AI to solve some of the toughest problems in healthcare. The ideal team member is looking for a blend of early-stage autonomy & growth-stage scrappiness.

Cool projects you might work on

Build out full stack user flows and features to help automate administrative workflows
Improve our voice AI infrastructure. Work on improving our call success rate, figure out ways to decrease latency, and scale the number of calls we can have concurrently.
Prototype and productize LLM models in voice AI agents, autonomous browser agents and new generative AI features
Experiment with LLM prompts, new agentic reasoning paradigms, and develop testing suites to evaluate AI agent performance
Automate internal operations like supporting new insurances, uploading claims data, and mapping customer practice names
Build and maintain integrations with healthcare EMR software using APIs, RPA, or agentic flows
As a Founding Engineer, you’ll
- get to wear many hats across engineering, product, support, etc.
- have full ownership and autonomy over engineering initiatives
- play a big role in defining both the technical and cultural foundations of the company

2+ years of full stack software engineering experience (YOE can flex if there’s a great fit)
Proficiency in Typescript and Python
Excited to build in an industry that is underserved by technology and immerse themselves in the world of healthcare billing and revenue cycle management

Experience developing high-quality, reliable software that is scalable and making trade offs between resiliency and speed
Thrives when wearing multiple hats and doing whatever needs to be done to succeed as a team
Product-minded engineer that can ship solutions to customer problems end to end rather than just following specs
In person 4-5 days /weeks in NYC office (strongly preferred, but can flex if there’s a great fit)
Bonus: familiarity with technologies like Next.js, Tailwind, AWS Lambdas, DynamoDB
Bonus: Experience working with LLMs, prompt engineering, and building generative AI products
