Job description

Lots of data, little understanding. Medical records for a single patient live scattered across dozens of providers, and critical data is buried in unstructured faxes, PDFs, and notes that no one has time to read. Access to health data is no longer the problem. Getting a clear, structured, trusted piece of information out of that mess is. That’s the problem xCures® exists to solve.
The xCures Clinical Clarity Engine turns fragmented records into validated, source-linked answers built for the next decision. Every extracted data point traces back to the exact document and page it came from. Automatically get the patient history you need, so you can make decisions based on more accurate information without digging through documents.

Our mission: “To find and organize all healthcare data, empowering insights that improve care for everyone.”

We work with anyone that needs information from medical data for their next decision: diagnostic labs, providers, telehealth providers, health systems, payers, consumer health platforms, and more. Wherever a decision is stuck behind 200 scattered documents no one has time to read, that’s our problem to solve. We’re a remote-first, Series B, venture-backed team that holds itself to the same standard as our product: trustworthy, precise, and purposeful. If you like solving problems that are genuinely hard and useful, you’ll feel at home here.

You will also articulate client needs to internal Data Science, Product, and Engineering teams to ensure client delight. Outstanding communication and project management skills are essential with an ability to manage multiple complex and unrelated projects simultaneously. Comfort in a remote, fast-paced, growth-phase start-up environment is paramount.

Lead external discussions around data quality and validation and communicate complex clinical data extraction capabilities and insights (e.g., genomics, oncology treatments, patient outcomes), ensuring clear understanding of product features and scientific accuracy.

Support client research initiatives by advising on the interpretation, provenance, and internal use of real-world data (RWD), including data extracted through AI/ML algorithms such as large language models.

Collaborate with internal product and engineering teams to inform the development of client-facing features and data offerings based on external medical and scientific requirements.
