Senior Software Engineer - Machine Learning

About Nabla

We are a team of entrepreneurs, physicians and engineers committed to bringing back joy to the practice of medicine.

Together with a community of clinician innovators, we’ve harnessed the best of machine learning science to develop Nabla: the leading ambient AI assistant that’s redefining healthcare delivery. By streamlining clinical documentation, Nabla empowers doctors to channel their energy where it matters most - patient care. Trusted by over 45,000 clinicians and implemented in more than 85 healthcare organizations, our AI assistant is making waves in the medical industry.

We are only at the start of an ambitious journey. With a bold vision to support 5 million practitioners worldwide, we've recently secured $30 million in Series B funding and are actively seeking exceptional talent to be part of our team.

This is a great time to join us!

The best of AI at the service of healthcare

Nabla’s phenomenal traction is the result of 3 years of diligent product development.

Our team, led by former Meta AI Research engineers, has consistently anticipated how AI can revolutionize healthcare delivery. The Machine Learning team continually leverages the latest advancements to unlock AI’s full potential in healthcare.

Yann LeCun, Meta’s Chief AI Scientist and AI Godfather, is an advisor to Nabla.

Life at Nabla

When you become a part of our company, you join a team of excellence-driven, curious, and genuinely kind individuals. Together, we're committed to making doctors' lives easier and improving healthcare experiences for everyone. We believe in a world where clinicians can focus on what they were trained to do - caring for their patients, and where no patient feels their visit was rushed.

We come to work excited to leverage AI to do more for doctors. We’re obsessed with our users’ satisfaction and we actively seek out opportunities to engage one-on-one with clinicians to understand how Nabla can better help. We consistently look for ways to improve and do not shy away from doing the work to excel. Whether it’s a feature our doctors asked for, or a new article for our blog, we prioritize collaboration to deliver exceptional outcomes.

We love having fun as much as we love work. Our #nablabla channel is as active as our #feature-show-off channel, we exercise during the work day at least 3 times a week (yoga, running, pilates, or HIIT, your choice!), hold a game night every now and then, and are constantly snacking on chocolate or nuts.

If this sounds like an environment you’ll thrive in, we look forward to reading your application!
