Job description

• Our team works directly alongside clinicians, not through layers of process, which means the gap between what you build and its impact on patient care is immediate
• We move fast, deploy daily, and take full ownership from early thinking to production. If you’re energized by hard problems, high stakes, and a team that holds itself to a high bar, you’ll find your people here
• At Commure, our Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) Core team is building the autonomous backend that turns healthcare’s most manual financial workflows into intelligent systems
• The Claims Submissions team owns getting claims out the door correctly, the first time. It is in front of the entire revenue cycle: nothing else downstream matters if we can’t reliably translate a clinical encounter into a clean, payer-accepted claim
• Clearinghouse integrations: submitting claims through multiple clearinghouses and handling their heterogeneous response, verification, and error semantics
• The claim generation pipeline: transforming structured claim payloads into valid electronic EDI claims across professional (CMS-1500), institutional (CMS-1450/UB), and dental (CDT) formats, plus paper-claim and PDF generation for payers that require mail or fax
• Build the Eligibility Orchestrator’s routing logic so the right payer gets the right claim, with guardrails that prevent acting on a coverage result that belongs to the wrong person
• Scale a rule engine that runs hundreds of configurable conditions and actions per customer across high transaction volumes — safely, idempotently, and with full explainability for operations teams
• Contribute to the technical direction of the RCM platform by proposing and implementing improvements to architecture, tools, and technologies
• Build end-to-end products to revolutionize revenue cycle management for providers and administrators
• Take ownership of end-to-end integration workflows, from design and development through to deployment and post-launch monitoring
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, engineering, and healthcare) to gather integration requirements, define technical approaches, and prioritize tasks based on business needs
• Mentor and guide engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning
• Conduct in-depth code reviews, uphold best practices, and drive architectural improvements across the stack
