## Job description

At Coral AI ([trycoral.ai](http://trycoral.ai)), we’re engineering the intelligent operating system for a more efficient healthcare industry. As recently featured in [Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/sites/charliefink/2025/10/20/coral-ai-and-healthcares-450-billion-paperwork-problem/), 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 late 7 figures 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 Job Title: Backend Engineer – Platform

- Solid grasp of engineering best practices: code reviews, testing, CI/CD pipelines, and documentation
- Excellent troubleshooting, problem-solving, and analytical skills
- Strong communication and teamwork skills

## About Coral AI 

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Coral AI automates healthcare’s administrative workflows — patient intake, prior authorization, billing, and compliance — so providers can focus on patient care.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage)
- **Headquarters**: New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Ajay Shrihari and Aniket Mohanty

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Healthcare IT / Healthcare Automation
- **Target customers**: Healthcare providers – infusion centers, DME (Durable Medical Equipment) providers, specialty pharmacies, radiology practices, and other clinic operations.
- **Mission or purpose**: To eliminate the administrative burden in healthcare so that patients get care faster and providers can focus on clinical judgment.

## Products & Services
- **Coral Platform**: An AI-driven automation platform that handles document extraction, eligibility & benefits verification, clinical qualification, missing-info follow-ups, prior authorization drafting, and EHR sync. It ingests faxes, emails, and CSV files into a unified inbox and routes work through custom workflows. (SaaS)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private)
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding – $2M seed round (led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, 2025)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Lightspeed Venture Partners (lead seed); advisor Ashish Singh (Bain & Company). Early customer: DASCO Home Medical Equipment.
- **Growth Signals**: Processes “hundreds of thousands of patient workflows monthly”; 18 employees as of mid-2025 with +18.2% monthly headcount growth; expanded into infusion centers, DME, specialty pharmacies, and radiology since launch.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Healthcare-specific AI models**: Trained on real clinic documents (handwriting, flipped insurance cards, blurry text) rather than synthetic data – achieving accuracy in the high 90s.
- **Integrate, don’t rebuild**: Works with existing EHRs, e-fax, and physician portals so providers get value on day one.
- **Humans-in-the-loop**: Technology augments clinical staff, not replaces them – safety-critical design for a zero-failure environment.
- **Security & compliance**: SOC, AICPA, ISO 27001 certified; AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit; MFA, role-based permissions, audit logs.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priorities**: Deepen automation across more service lines (radiology, infusion, pharmacy), scale operations while maintaining 99%+ accuracy, and build the foundation for applying the same AI to other high-stakes industries (insurance, banking, government).

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: “Embeds, learns, ships” – team spends time on the ground with clinic staff before writing code. Emphasis on accuracy over speed, and building for messy reality.
- **Remote/Hybrid/Office**: Headquarters in New York, with presence in India. Likely hybrid given both locations. Not explicitly stated.
- **Notable perks**: Working on a problem that directly reduces patient waiting times; small team (18 people) means high ownership and impact; founders with strong technical backgrounds (robotics/AI, medical imaging).
