With our cutting-edge revenue cycle automation platform, we are transforming this space through an intelligent, data-driven approach that simplifies billing, enhances claims processing, and eliminates administrative waste.The RoleAs our first and founding AI hire, this person will define and drive our strategy around how to bring Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning to the forefront of healthcare automation. This is an opportunity to get in at the ground floor of designing and building something exciting and new - generating immense value to both medical providers and their patients. This person will be responsible for translating compelling initial prototypes into a foundational set of differentiated, high impact ML/AI use cases throughout our platform and across our customer base.We're looking for a tastemaker and visionary (staff-level or higher) who can effectively navigate the complexities of our problem space – medical billing– and leverage their technical expertise to identify opportunities where AI- & ML-based solutions can drive impactful, long term business outcomes. As a key strategic investment for the company and product at a critical moment in our growth, this is a high-visibility, high-ownership role where you'll be seen as our in-house AI/ML expert and report directly to our Head of Engineering.What You'll Do

Research industry best practices, leverage state-of-the-art technologies and tools to design systems and support the necessary outcomes in a forward looking and responsible manner. Take compelling initial prototypes we've built and ensure we have a strong foundation to scale and deploy them across our customer base.
• Scale and Unlock New & Existing Products: You will work closely with leadership and cross-functional teams to take ownership of some of our most complex technical challenges: using AI to automate and scale processes like claim submission, resubmission, and workflow optimization. You will drive Candid's AI roadmap and directly influence our product roadmap across the board to enable Candid's customers to optimize their RCM operations at scale.
• Build AI Infrastructure: Architect the infrastructure that will allow us to leverage AI across every facet of our product. Structure and format our data to better support AI development.
