Overview
Job Description
Our client is a funded, early-stage AI company building at the intersection of healthcare, payments, and revenue cycle management. The company is developing an AI-enabled platform designed to transform how healthcare organizations manage payment, claims, and financial workflows—reducing manual work, improving accuracy, and accelerating reimbursement cycles.
They are seeking an exceptional CTO Co-Founder to own the full technology vision: architecting the platform, building and launching the initial product, and recruiting the founding engineering team. This is a hands-on, builder role—not advisory.
WHAT YOU'LL BUILD
The platform will leverage AI, workflow automation, and secure data integrations to improve financial operations across the healthcare ecosystem. Core focus areas include:
- Claims and payment workflow automation
- Provider-payer financial operations and reconciliation
- Revenue cycle and reimbursement workflows
- Denials management and payment exception handling
- Healthcare data ingestion and normalization
- Secure integrations with billing, claims, and payment systems
- AI-assisted decisioning and operational intelligence
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own the technology vision, architecture, and engineering roadmap
- Build and launch the initial MVP and iterate to a scalable commercial product
- Evaluate and select the full technical stack
- Design secure, scalable systems purpose-built for healthcare payment workflows
- Build AI-enabled workflow automation into the product from day one
- Lead integrations with healthcare, claims, payment, billing, and data systems
- Recruit and lead the early engineering team
- Partner directly with the CEO, investors, advisors, and early customers
IDEAL QUALIFICATIONS
- 10+ years of engineering experience with a track record of building from zero to one
- Founder or early technical leadership experience at a startup (preferred, not required)
- Structured CS/engineering training; graduate of a top-tier institution preferred
- Experience in high-growth startups or complex technical organizations (e.g., Palantir, health-tech scale-up)
- Ability to personally build while recruiting and growing a team
- Strong product instincts; comfort working with customers, commercial leaders, and investors
- Background in healthcare technology, payments/fintech, RCM, or a regulated, data-heavy environment
- Bias toward action and comfort operating with ambiguity
RELEVANT BACKGROUNDS
Strong candidates may come from:
- Healthcare technology / health-tech SaaS
- Revenue cycle management or claims technology
- Payments, fintech, or financial infrastructure
- AI workflow automation or enterprise software
- Data infrastructure or healthcare interoperability
- Provider, payer, billing, or financial operations platforms
- B2B SaaS with complex integrations and regulated data environments
