The role combines hands-on engineering, stakeholder discovery, and measurement of operational results.

• Add safeguards such as least-privilege access, managed credentials, action audit trails, human approval gates, and compliant portal and call practices.
• Establish evaluation and monitoring so teams can assess agent quality and compare outcomes with human work.
• Pilot solutions with users, iterate on feedback, and help transfer proven approaches into core products; contribute to the emerging program playbook and mentor future team members.

Requirements

Nice to have

• Experience with agent runtimes, orchestration, evaluation, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
• Voice agents for outbound calls or browser and computer-use agents for web portals.
• Healthcare billing or RCM familiarity, including claims, EDI 837/835, eligibility, denials, accounts receivable, and HIPAA.

Benefits and work setup

• Remote across the United States; Chicago-area employees meet in person one or two days per week. Some business travel may be required, with optional periodic visits to operations sites.
• Health and wellness coverage, an annual wellness stipend, professional development, a 401(k) match of up to 4% with immediate vesting, flexible time off, and an employee stock purchase program.
• Target base compensation: $170,000-$200,000 per year in most U.S. locations, with final offers varying by location and experience.
