Senior Backend Engineer, Ambient AI
AI Summary
A senior backend engineer designs, builds, and scales backend services for Commure’s AI operating system in healthcare, working across real-time clinical documentation, AI-driven billing automation, and a clinical intelligence platform.
About this role
At Commure, we're building the AI Operating System for healthcare, the foundation that defines how care is delivered, documented, and financed. Our platform spans the full care journey: Ambient AI and Dictation eliminating documentation burden at the point of care, intelligent Agents automating patient and revenue workflows, and autonomous RCM processing billions in claims, all on a single AI-native platform integrated with 60+ EHRs.
Healthcare carries a $1 trillion administrative burden and we're at the center of transforming it. Today, 500,000+ clinicians across 500+ healthcare organizations nationwide trust Commure to handle $25B+ in annual claims and support over 200 million patient interactions. Our latest $70M raise at a $7B valuation reflects the confidence the market has placed in this mission.
Our team works directly alongside clinicians, not through layers of process, which means the gap between what you build and its impact on patient care is immediate. We move fast, deploy daily, and take full ownership from early thinking to production. If you're energized by hard problems, high stakes, and a team that holds itself to a high bar, you'll find your people here.
The future of healthcare is being built right now. Come deliver this transformation.
About the Role
At Commure, our Ambient AI team is at the forefront of revolutionizing healthcare technology by building AI solutions that span the entire care journey, from the patient visit to the final claim. You'll work across real-time clinical documentation powered by LLMs, AI-driven billing automation that improves revenue capture and reduces denials, and a clinical intelligence platform that grounds answers in live patient context.
