About the role

What we’re building

Behind every healthcare provider is a mountain of admin that gets in the way of getting paid for the care they deliver.

Ember AI is building advanced agents to take that work off their plate, and help healthcare providers get paid for the care they deliver, without all the admin. We’re growing very fast, at 200% month on month, which is why we need you!

We’re backed by YC, Nexus Venture Partners and already working with physician groups and healthcare systems across the US.
