CTO / Co - Founder

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.

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
