## Job description

## ABOUT AMPEROS

Amperos is healthcare's first AI-native denial management and revenue recovery platform. Our agentic AI works claims end-to-end, from portal follow-ups and payor calls to appeals and medical records, so providers can resolve more denials, recover more revenue, and focus on what matters most: serving patients.

We just closed a $16M Series A led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with continued participation from Uncork Capital and Neo. We're still small, still early, and going after a $260B+ problem that's only getting worse. If you want to work on hard problems that matter, alongside people who care deeply about the mission (and each other), we'd love to meet you.

## About the role

As an AI Engineer on our research team, you’ll work on our hardest research and AI infra problems. You’ll both help prototype new products and also work on turning prototypes into a high quality AI product. Hard problems include passing the healthcare billing Turing Test - would an insurance agent who is interacting with our AI or a healthcare biller who is reviewing the work of our AI think our AI is a human, and not an AI? More concretely, you will be working to improve our AI agent’s quality so it acts more human-like and collects more accurate and detailed results from insurance.

## What you’ll do

- Main focus is on improving models, LLM orchestration, prompt optimizations, evaluation framework, and AI infra
- Enable agent/workflow product engineers
- Own and raise the bar on AI quality
- Own ultimate vision of end to end AI orchestration of modules
- Work on hardest research problems (ie. Anti-AI)
- Mainly a mix of ML, data science, and applied LLM work. Heavy Python.

Who we’re looking for

- You like reading the latest LLM research papers
- Deep experience in implementing and building AI agents
- Eager to try out the latest releases (ie. o1, OpenAI voice mode, Claude Computer-Use) to see how it can be used in real-world healthcare billing applications
- Worked with complex distributed systems with many async operations
- Excited about pushing the boundaries of conversational AI technology
- Can balance quick experimentation with systematic evaluation
- Very high Python mastery

## PERKS & BENEFITS

- In-person culture at our Flatiron office in NYC with paid lunch and dinner
- Flexible hours and time off
- Gym stipend
- Commuter benefits
- Health, dental, vision insurance
- 401(k) with matching contribution
- Annual offsite

## OUR VALUES

- Lead with Empathy - Great products and teams are built on empathy—whether for our customers, users, or team members. We take the time to walk in others' shoes, listen actively, and truly understand their challenges, needs, and perspectives.
- Humbly Ambitious - We combine humility with ambition. No task is beneath us, and no challenge too big. Greatness comes from being willing to do whatever it takes, while having the courage to take bold risks and learn from failures.
- Radical Agency - Own your domain. Drive initiatives with autonomy and accountability. Think deeply, communicate with the team, and maintain a bias for action.

## About Amperos

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Amperos uses agentic AI to automate end-to-end insurance revenue recovery for healthcare providers, from denial management to collections.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A, raised $16M in April 2026)
- **Headquarters**: New York City, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Michal Miernowski (CEO & Co-Founder), Wilson Wang (CPO & Co-Founder), Alvin Wu (CTO & Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Healthcare Revenue Cycle Management (RCM), specifically denial management and insurance collections.
- **Target customers**: B2B – outpatient healthcare providers, including independent practices, clinics, and larger health systems.
- **Mission**: To help healthcare teams recover the revenue they’ve already earned, so providers can focus on operating their practices and serving patients.

## Products & Services
- **AI-Native Denial Management Platform**: Agentic AI that handles the full denial workflow – payer portal follow-ups, phone calls, corrected claims, medical records submissions, and appeals – with no handoffs. Escalates complex cases to Amperos’ RCM experts.
- **Insurance Collections Outsourcing**: End-to-end management of the collections process, from first-touch denials to complex escalations, using AI agents and human oversight.
- **Workflow Configuration & Analytics**: Customizable workqueues, SOP mapping, and real-time dashboards that provide visibility into claims pipeline, recovery rates, and root-cause insights.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of $20.2M ($4.2M seed in June 2025 + $16M Series A in April 2026). The company has recovered over $700M in outstanding claims annually across 500,000+ claims and 3,000 clinical locations in all 50 states.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Bessemer Venture Partners (lead Series A), Uncork Capital, Neo. Angel investors from OpenAI, Stripe, and others. Integrates with EHRs including eClinicalWorks, Athenahealth, NextGen, Epic, ModMed, Dentrix.
- **Growth Signals**: 255.6% year-over-year headcount growth (25 employees as of mid-2025), monthly job postings up 66.7%, quarterly up 150%. Launched the industry’s first AI-native denial management platform in April 2026. Customers see 22% more recovered per claim at up to 50% lower cost to collect.

## Competitive Advantages
- **End-to-end automation**: Unlike competitors that automate only parts of the denial process (e.g., calling or letter writing), Amperos handles the entire workflow – from portal navigation to appeals – with AI agents that use LLMs across voice, computer use, and more.
- **Proven outcomes**: 22% higher recovery rates and 50% lower cost to collect compared to traditional or manual processes.
- **Expert overlay**: A team of tenured RCM specialists provides judgment on the hardest claims, combining AI speed with human expertise.
- **HIPAA-compliant and bank-level security**: Fully compliant with healthcare data regulations.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scale and expand**: Use the $16M Series A to accelerate growth, serve more providers, and expand analytics capabilities.
- **New agentic workflows**: Launch additional AI-native capabilities in other RCM workflows beyond denial management.
- **Prevention insights**: Deliver detailed analytics that help providers optimize billing and collections processes to prevent future denials.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: In-person culture based in NYC with flexibility when needed. Values include “radical agency” (deep autonomy and accountability) and “lead with empathy.”
- **Benefits**: Medical, dental, and vision premiums paid in full for employees and dependents; 401(k) with 4% match; flexible time off plus 14 company holidays; pre-tax commuter benefits; meals provided on office days; gym stipend; budget for tools and gear; regular company offsites.
- **Engineering & team**: Technical team makes up 22% of staff. Strong talent pipeline from companies like Dropbox, McKinsey, R1 RCM, and Ardea Partners. Headcount growing rapidly (+255% YoY).
