Elation Health

Compensation

Full Description

Elation is a cloud-based clinical platform for independent primary care practices. We want doctors spending their time on patients, not paperwork. We're hiring full-stack engineers for our billing team. Billing is a challenging domain. We receive data from insurers and partners who each follow the standards a little differently, but we need to make billing simple for our customers regardless of their payer arrangements and chase down every dollar we can for them across denials. We're using LLMs to take over a lot of work people currently do by hand. You'll design, build, and run these systems yourself. If that sounds interesting, apply even if you don't check every box below. What the work looks like Building systems that balance financial transactions between insurance, patients, and the practice.

You think about how things will fail before they ship. You can identify when a problem needs a proper fix versus when a simple bandaid will do.
