    Description
    About AKASA
    At AKASA, our mission is to build the future of healthcare with AI. As the leading provider of generative AI solutions for the healthcare revenue cycle, we help health systems comprehensively capture and communicate the full patient clinical journey. By empowering health systems to streamline their operations, they can focus on what matters most - delivering quality patient care. We have raised over $205M in funding from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, BOND, and Costanoa Ventures.
    This is the most exciting time to join AKASA. Revenue bookings for our new AI-native product suite have grown over 20x since launching in 2024. In this time, we have broken our record for the largest deal in company history three times consecutively. This growth is driven by the massive improvement we are generating for our customers across clinical quality and documentation accuracy, both top priority areas for health system leaders.
    Our deployments have been recognized nationally as "one of the most comprehensive real-world uses of GenAI in healthcare finance to date" (link). Our customer base represents more than $120B+ in net patient revenue and includes the most innovative health systems in the country, like Cleveland Clinic, Duke, Stanford, and Johns Hopkins.
    Some of our recent recognitions include being named one of America's Top Startup Employers 2026 by Forbes, #1 most promising healthcare RCM startup of 2025 by Black Book Market Research, and one of the fastest-growing GenAI startups to watch by AIM Research. Our CEO was ranked among the "Top 50 Healthcare Technology CEOs" by the Healthcare Technology Report, and we have been certified as a "Great Place to Work" for the past 6 years in a row.
    We're building on this momentum to redefine what's possible in healthcare. We're looking for exceptional people to help us accelerate that reality.
    About the Role
    As a Sr. Software Engineer, Backend, you will be building AI-powered solutions across our Clinical Documentation and Medical Coding suite. You will work closely with the product, design, and machine learning teams to design and build services, APIs, and tools that support our SaaS products.

    These products improve the quality of physician documentation, help clinicians identify missing diagnoses, convert documentation to medical codes and ensure financial integrity for health systems.
