Job description

Operations · New York · FullTime · Senior level

How it fits the AI era

AI takes over the first pass of reading records and proposing codes, so the human role shifts toward judgment, validation and teaching the models. The lead decides hard cases, sets the standards the models are measured against, and signs off before suggestions reach hospital coders. Accuracy, compliance and defensible audit trails stay firmly human responsibilities.

How it builds AI experience

The role offers hands‑on work with large language model agents applied to real hospital records, including writing annotation guidelines, building test sets and reviewing model errors weekly. That builds practical skill in evaluating and steering AI coding tools, a rare combination of coding expertise and model quality work. Candidates can strengthen their case by showing curiosity about how AI coding tools behave and how their output is checked.

Worth showing

• DRG validation and audit
• CCS with RHIA or RHIT
• Coding rules to specs
