Job description

At Coral AI (trycoral.ai), we’re engineering the intelligent operating system for a more efficient healthcare industry. As recently featured in Forbes, we are tackling a massive administrative bottleneck, a $450 billion crisis that consumes 25% of U.S. healthcare spending and forces patients to wait weeks for life‑saving treatment.

Our agentic automation platform is uniquely designed for healthcare’s "messy" reality, utilising sophisticated AI to digest handwritten faxes, complex medical records, and blurry scans with an unprecedented 98.7% accuracy. Backed by Lightspeed and founded by a team with deep roots in AI and robotics, we’ve scaled to multi‑million dollars in ARR in less than six months by delivering immediate, Day‑1 value to medical equipment providers, clinics and specialty pharmacies.

By slashing patient wait times from five days to under three hours, we’re doing more than just automating paperwork; we’re returning time to clinicians and ensuring that care is never delayed by a document. If you’re a high‑ownership builder who wants to solve mission‑critical problems in OCR and NLP while making a tangible impact on human lives, come help us build the infrastructure that lets healthcare scale.
