## Job description

## About Anomaly

Anomaly Insights is the first AI-powered provider intelligence company built to close the knowledge gap that has fundamentally disadvantaged healthcare providers for decades. The healthcare payment system is governed by incentives, not rules - and payers have long held the data advantage that shapes how those incentives play out.

Anomaly exists to change that.

By analyzing billions of transactions in real time, the Anomaly platform decodes payer behavior at machine speed and precision, giving health systems, provider groups, and diagnostic laboratories the intelligence to go on offense with payers and change the terms of their financial relationships. The work is technically serious, the mission runs all the way through the organization, and the problem being solved has consequences that extend well beyond revenue metrics: providers that cannot get paid cannot deliver care.

Anomaly is backed by Sound Ventures, RRE Ventures, Madrona, and Redesign Health, and is building something that does not yet exist in the market. And we think we're pretty fun, too.

## Overview

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will build the tools that help healthcare providers stand their ground against insurance giants. We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to build the architecture, the APIs, and the integration logic that brings our product to life.

You will work on translating complex healthcare data and machine learning outputs into scalable, real-time systems that deliver clear, actionable insights to end users.

You will report directly to the CTO. This role is open to fully remote, US-based candidates, with occasional travel to our NYC headquarters.

## Responsibilities

- Build integrations with healthcare and financial systems
- Automate end-to-end data ingestion and delivery pipelines, with a strong focus on observability and data quality
- Build GenAI features and chat to solve real problems and build user confidence, backed by rigorous evaluation loops and guardrails
- Design high-throughput, low-latency systems where performance is a mission-critical requirement
- Be the glue between our PhD-level Data Scientists and Front-end Engineers, taking raw outputs and building the APIs that drive a full, impactful product

## Qualifications

- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Ability to write idiomatic, testable, and maintainable code in Python, Java, or Scala
- A “hacker mindset” — pragmatic, curious, and solution-oriented

## Nice to have

- Experience building reliable data and ML pipelines using SQL, Spark, or Airflow
- Experience building and deploying online machine learning products
- Experience developing high-volume, low-latency APIs

## About Anomaly

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Anomaly provides an AI-powered payer management platform that helps healthcare providers decode complex payer logic, predict denials, and streamline revenue cycles.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A+ venture rounds); total funding raised: $53.1M.
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, USA
- **Founded**: 2020
- **Founders**: Mike Desjadon (CEO), Jon Hoffman (Co-Founder & CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Healthcare technology (Revenue Cycle Management, AI-powered payer intelligence)
- **Target customers**: Health systems, large provider organizations, diagnostic laboratories, outsourced RCM companies (B2B, Enterprise)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: “Make health payments predictable” — empowering providers to achieve payment certainty by closing the data and knowledge gap with payers.

## Products & Services
- **Smart Response**: An AI engine that decodes payer logic and detects payment patterns across hundreds of millions of healthcare encounters. It provides real-time denials prediction and assisted claims correction so providers can fix errors before they impact revenue. (SaaS, API-embedded)
- **Instant Pay (coming soon)**: A solution that enables providers to get paid immediately upon claim submission, further streamlining the payment process.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company).
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$53.1M** across 5 rounds (Seed in 2020, Series A in Oct 2021, and two venture rounds in Nov 2024). Estimated annual revenue of **$150K** (source: LinkedIn estimate; likely early-stage or misattributed).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: RRE Ventures (led Series A), Sound Ventures, Madrona, Redesign Health.
- **Growth Signals**: +60% headcount growth YoY (28 employees as of mid-2025); claims analysis across billions of transactions; “recovered tens of millions in provider revenue and produced measurable changes in payer behavior.”

## Competitive Advantages
- **First-mover AI payer intelligence**: Anomaly is described as “healthcare’s first AI-powered payer management platform” that goes beyond denials management to provide a continuous, data-driven view of payer behavior.
- **High prediction precision**: Smart Response claims >99% precision in predicting exact claim line payment and associated denial reason.
- **Embedded workflow integration**: Insights are embedded directly into existing RCM and managed care workflows, making adoption seamless.

## Strategic Focus
- Current priorities include scaling the Smart Response engine, expanding the customer base among large provider organizations, and launching **Instant Pay** to reduce payment friction.
- Long-term goal: “Level the playing field” in provider-payer contract negotiations by arming providers with payer-specific data and behavioral insights.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & Mission**: A team of AI engineers, data scientists, and healthcare experts with a shared mission to eliminate financial uncertainty in healthcare payments. Values include Curiosity, Openness, Impact, Scientific Thinking, and Comfort with Uncertainty.
- **Work Policy**: Hybrid workspace with headquarters in New York, NY. Employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work.
- **Engineering Culture**: Heavy focus on applying AI to a real-world, high-impact problem. The technical team represents ~25% of headcount (8 technical roles).
- **Growth Opportunity**: Rapidly growing company (60% YoY headcount growth) with strong investor backing — appealing for those seeking early-stage autonomy and impact.
