About Phare & R1
Phare is building healthcare’s first Revenue Operating System - a platform that uses AI to make hospital billing and reimbursement effortless, accurate, and fair. We recently became part of R1, one of the largest companies managing healthcare claims which serves hundreds of systems around the country. This gives us the best of both worlds: the DNA of an AI startup paired with the scale of a healthcare organization that supports care delivery for hundreds of healthcare systems nationwide. Join us on our mission to build a fairer, faster model for healthcare payments.
The Role
You’ll own the data foundations of the Phare stack - the backend schemas and APIs that power both the AI engine and the user-facing application. You will work on reliable systems for ingesting, transforming, and serving large-scale healthcare data, ensuring high performance, observability, and security/compliance.
We are hiring across several seniority levels ranging from Mid-level up to Staff. At a minimum, we would expect 5 years of software engineering experience with 2 years working with high-throughput data pipelines.
This is an in-person role in NYC requiring at least 3 days in the SoHo office.
