Founding AI Engineer - Claims Pricing Intelligence (Remote)


We're seeking a Founding AI Engineer to design and implement intelligent systems that transform raw healthcare data into production-ready pricing engines. You'll build the business logic layer that accurately prices healthcare claims, combining rules-based systems with ML validation to ensure compliance and precision. This is a rare opportunity to shape the architecture and product of a high-impact, AI-driven platform from the ground up.


What You'll Do


Data Ingestion & Structuring




  • Design parsers and pipelines for inconsistent, semi-structured, and evolving data sources (CSVs, PDFs, spreadsheets, APIs)




  • Build normalization layers to reconcile multiple datasets into unified, queryable schemas




  • Use LLMs and NLP to extract structured meaning from unstructured documentation




Knowledge & Rules Modeling




  • Model relationships between entities, rules, and variables driving pricing logic




  • Build systems that reason over temporal changes (effective dates, versioned updates)




  • Create crosswalks and mappings for otherwise siloed datasets




Pricing Engine Development




  • Design the business logic layer to determine pricing outcomes via configurable rules and algorithms




  • Combine deterministic logic with ML-based validation for accuracy and adaptability




  • Ensure every decision is explainable and traceable




Machine Learning & Validation




  • Build ML models to detect anomalies, outliers, and inconsistencies in pricing data




  • Develop feedback loops to learn from historical behavior and external benchmarks




  • Apply semantic reasoning to interpret documentation and codify logic




API & System Design




  • Expose pricing services through performant, production-ready APIs




  • Build both batch and real-time systems for large-scale repricing and validation




  • Implement observability, caching, and auditability as core architecture principles




Testing & Quality Assurance




  • Develop test suites and regression frameworks to ensure consistency




  • Validate outputs against benchmarks for precision and reliability




  • Automate documentation and traceability for compliance




What You Bring




  • Strong experience in Python, SQL, and data modeling (relational or graph)




  • Proven ability to convert messy inputs into structured, reliable outputs




  • Familiarity with rules engines, workflow automation, or ML validation systems




  • Experience building APIs (FastAPI, Flask, or similar)




  • Deep curiosity about complex systems and a drive to simplify them




  • Rigor in testing, documentation, and version control




Nice to Have




  • Experience with large-scale revenue cycle, financial, pricing, or policy systems




  • Familiarity with LLMs or NLP-based document extraction




  • Understanding of data lineage, auditability, and compliance-heavy environments




  • Experience with high-performance data services (event-driven, streaming, or caching)




  • Exposure to modern ML frameworks (PyTorch, scikit-learn)




Why Join




  • Be part of a founding team shaping both architecture and product




  • Work on challenging, meaningful problems with real-world impact




  • Remote-first, with flexible work arrangements and periodic in-person collaboration




  • Opportunity for early equity and significant ownership




Core Values




  • High Agency: Solve problems independently and take ownership




  • Clear & Direct Communication: Give and receive feedback respectfully




  • Customer Empathy: Understand the realities of end users




  • Work Hard, Play Hard: Strive for excellence and celebrate wins together




  • Team-First Mentality: Success comes from collaboration
