About Charta Health

In an industry where the focus should rightly be on delivering quality care to patients, healthcare providers remain burdened by the complexities of non-clinical operations. Charta is changing that.

We're building the operating system for modern healthcare organizations. Our AI platform streamlines critical workflows across revenue cycle, clinical operations, and administrative functions, helping providers and payers operate more efficiently and deliver better patient care. Backed by Bain Capital Ventures, Charta is on a mission to make every healthcare dollar accountable and every chart accurate, reimagining healthcare infrastructure from the ground up.

As a Forward Deployed AI Engineer at Charta Health, you will be at the forefront of deploying and customizing AI-powered solutions for our clients. You will work directly with healthcare providers to understand their unique challenges and translate them into practical, data-driven solutions using AI and machine learning. This role requires a blend of technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and a strong customer‑centric mindset. You will thrive in a dynamic environment, rapidly deploying and iterating on solutions to deliver immediate value.

What you’ll do:

• Collaborate closely with healthcare clients to understand their workflows and identify opportunities to leverage AI and machine learning.

You'll be a great fit if you have:

• Proficiency and practical coding skills, with a focus on delivering tangible results.
• Adaptability and the ability to quickly learn and master new technologies and concepts.
• A priority on delivering business value over solving purely theoretical challenges.
• A desire to explore a wide range of technologies and problems, rather than specializing in one area.
• The ability to thrive in ambiguous environments and rapidly produce results.
• The ability to excel at breaking down complex projects into actionable steps.
• Resilience and resourcefulness, allowing you to overcome obstacles and find creative solutions.
• Ambition and a desire for a high‑growth opportunity.
• Strong emotional intelligence, excellent communication, and interpersonal skills.

What we offer:

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, and vision.
• Equity & growth opportunities in a fast‑growing, innovative tech startup.
• Ongoing professional development and access to cutting‑edge AI and healthcare tools.
• Lively, in‑person work culture at our SF Headquarters or NYC office
• $90,000 - $140,000 USD depending on experience + Equity + Benefits
