About Anterior

Anterior is on a mission to transform healthcare administration, making it seamless and invisible so clinicians can focus on delivering care. We’ve built an AI-powered platform designed by clinicians, for clinicians, to simplify administrative workflows and improve patient outcomes. By combining clinical expertise with cutting-edge technology, we’re revolutionizing healthcare operations with responsible AI.

We're growing rapidly and are backed by world-class investors including Sequoia, New Enterprise Associates (NEA), and Neo along with notable angels including the founders of DeepMind, Google AI, and Inflection AI.

Anterior is improving the experience of healthcare for everyone. We're working on the cutting edge of using technology to make clinical decision-making frictionless.

We're building exciting tech for huge customers and we trust in the foundations: keep it simple, build strong foundations, and the rest will follow.

The Team

At Anterior, engineers share a strong "sense of product" and solve meaningful problems that simplify healthcare workflows. We collaborate in multidisciplinary teams to deliver secure, scalable, and user-focused solutions guided by best practices and modular design.

We value diverse experiences and skill sets, continually expanding our team to tackle modern healthcare’s challenges with creativity and precision.

About You

You have a passion for doing things The Right Way, you believe Less is More, you want to focus on the foundations of system design and architecture (pacelc, consistency guarantees), you care as much about the code you do not write, you’re tired of the hype treadmill and care about the fundamentals. You have battle scars from over‑engineered and under‑performing slop, and you care about writing code that lasts.

You're deep in the infrastructure layer — scaling systems, managing cloud infrastructure, building reliable distributed architectures. You've designed and operated production infrastructure on AWS, not just used managed services. You've been on‑call, debugged production issues under pressure, and designed for reliability. You may be coming from a platform/infra team at a big tech company, a DevOps‑heavy role at a scale‑up, or anywhere with a serious AWS footprint.

Come share your proudest firefighting story with us in an interview, bring your GitHub, and let’s see if we’re a good fit. If you're a junior passionate about coding and hacking: it's always ok to apply, shoot us a link to some of your work and let's talk anyway.

About the Role

Members of Technical Staff at Anterior own problems end-to-end — from system design through to production. You'll own the infrastructure that powers clinical decisioning at scale. A day's work may include:

• Scaling and hardening our AWS infrastructure to meet growing enterprise demand
• Analyzing request logs, debugging event streams, and improving system reliability
• Designing and building backend services, APIs, and data pipelines that power our AI platform
• Helping us migrate off CDKTF — if you've done this before, we want to talk to you
• Building internal tooling to automate workflows and increase team leverage
• Writing evals to identify weaknesses and drive improvements in our LLM‑powered systems
• Working across the stack when needed — from backend services to frontend — to ship complete solutions
• Contributing to Anterior's SDKs, developer documentation, and platform architecture

Tech

• Langs: Python / Go / TS, React (and HTMX if you can help!)
• Infra: Nix, AWS (currently on CDKTF — actively looking to migrate, bonus points if you've done this before)

What’s in it for you

This is an opportunity to join a company at its major inflection point, using cutting‑edge technology to have a meaningful impact in healthcare. You'll work with a world‑class team, hold significant responsibility, and have the opportunity for rapid growth.

We take pride in our strong apprenticeship and coaching culture. We expect our early hires to become leaders both within our company and across the industry. You’ll be given a lot of responsibility and the opportunity for rapid growth.

Benefits:

• Equity package
• Competitive, top‑of‑market salary
• 100% covered health, dental, and vision insurance
• Catered lunches and a stocked kitchen
• Commuter benefits
• Company laptop along w/ tools you need to succeed
• Learning & development budget
• Team‑building events
• Flexible PTO

Compensation Range: $170K - $270K
