Fira Health is building agentic AI tools to transform administrative workflows at healthcare organizations. We’ve started with home health, where we help agencies reduce administrative burden, get paid faster, and focus more on patient care — not paperwork. Our platform automates workflows like prior auth, eligibility checks, and benefit verification by integrating deeply into providers' operations and systems.
We’re a fast-moving, founder-led startup backed by top-tier investors and built by a team with deep experience in healthcare, operations, and applied AI.
About the Role
We’re hiring a hands-on Product Lead Engineer who will own an entire slice of our AI platform. You’ll pair your product intuition with engineering chops to design and ship automation in one of our critical healthcare domains, such as accounts receivable.
You’ll partner daily with our engineers and RCM subject-matter experts to translate real-world edge cases into clear specs and measurable wins.
We expect the right candidate to evolve from this role into a full-fledged Director of Product Engineering with responsibility for their healthcare domain of ownership.

Qualifications
We are fixing US healthcare by building an AI-native physical care platform, starting with home health.
Home health is a $140B industry with less than $10B in EBITDA — 40% of revenue is spent on pure administrative waste. We automate this work with AI, creating a fundamentally different cost structure compared to incumbents. This lets us rapidly take market share by serving the 30% of patients who go untreated today.
We've built one of the best AI teams in the world (from Character AI, Scale, Palantir, Citadel, Jane Street) and paired them with a team of healthcare veterans and strategists to build a new type of healthcare company: one that delivers care at the speed of an AI company.
Our physical care platform already operates with 30pp higher gross margins than traditional home health providers. With our AI advantage, we pay nurses more, remove their admin burden, and unlock the scale economics that have been missing from this fragmented industry.
We're starting with home health, then expanding to all delivered care. Our mission is "any care, any where".
Fundamentally, our incentives are aligned with America. Every dollar in revenue we make is two dollars taken out of the healthcare system. If we succeed, so does US healthcare.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
