• Deep understanding of medical documentation, clinical workflows, and medical terminology
• Ability to evaluate AI-generated clinical notes, provide structured feedback, and guide improvements
• Strong knowledge of healthcare data standards (e.g., FHIR, HL7) and privacy regulations (e.g., HIPAA)
• Hands-on experience in clinical data validation and quality assessment.
• Experience collaborating with engineers and product teams to build AI-powered clinical tools
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

Why work at Abridge?

At Abridge, we’re driven by our mission to bring understanding and follow-through to every medical conversation. Our culture is founded on doing things the “inverse” way in a legacy system—focusing on patients, instead of the system; focusing on outcomes, instead of billing; and focusing on the end-user experience, instead of a hospital administrator's mandate.

Abridgers are engineers, scientists, designers, and health policy experts from a diverse set of backgrounds—an experiment in alchemy that helps us transform an industry dominated by EHRs and enterprise into a consumer-driven experience, one recording at a time. We believe in strong ideas, loosely held, and place a high premium on a growth mindset. We push each other to grow and expose each other to the latest in our respective fields. Whether it’s holding a PhD-level deep dive into understanding fairness and underlying bias in machine learning models, debating the merits of a Scandinavian design philosophy in our UI/UX, or writing responses for Medicare rules to influence U.S. health policy, we prioritize sharing our findings across the team and helping each other be successful.

How we take care of Abridgers:

• Generous Time Off: 13 paid holidays, flexible PTO for salaried employees, and accrued time off for hourly employees.
• Comprehensive Health Plans: Medical, Dental, and Vision plans for all full-time employees. Abridge covers 100% of the premium for you and 75% for dependents. If you choose a HSA-eligible plan, Abridge also makes monthly contributions to your HSA.
• Paid Parental Leave: 16 weeks paid parental leave for all full-time employees.
• 401k and Matching: Contribution matching to help invest in your future.
• Pre-tax Benefits: Access to Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Commuter Benefits.
• Learning and Development Budget: Yearly contributions for coaching, courses, workshops, conferences, and more.
• Sabbatical Leave: 30 days of paid Sabbatical Leave after 5 years of employment.
• Compensation and Equity: Competitive compensation and equity grants for full time employees.
• ... and much more!
