Today, clinics miss 30–40% of patient calls, while staff are overwhelmed by administrative work. We believe AI agents should handle workflows like scheduling, billing, prescription refills, and follow-ups so healthcare teams can focus on patient care. We’re building the communication infrastructure modern healthcare needs. Our AI agents don’t just answer calls—they complete workflows end-to-end, ensuring patients never go unheard. To date, we’ve handled hundreds of thousands of patient interactions across virtual care companies, health systems, and a $5B health insurance company. Clarion was founded by a Stanford/Harvard-trained physician (founding team at Two Chairs and Ophelia) and an ex-Amazon Alexa engineer who led AI/ML teams at Salesforce. We’ve raised $10M from Accel, Y Combinator, Sequoia (Scout), and leading healthcare founders. We’re an in-person team in New York, moving fast to solve one of healthcare’s most critical problems. ## WHY THIS ROLE IS SPECIAL - High-impact ownership: You’ll own meaningful features and systems used daily in real healthcare environments. - Strong signal, early traction: Dozens of paying customers and growing revenue, with room to shape core product decisions. - Learn from experienced builders: Work closely with founders and senior engineers operating at the intersection of healthcare, AI, and real-time systems. ## WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON - Build and operate production full-stack features powering AI-driven healthcare communication. - Integrate with EHRs, legacy healthcare systems, and real-time voice infrastructure. - Collaborate closely with product, design, and senior engineers to turn customer needs into shipped software. - Debug and improve reliability, performance, and scalability across live systems. - Contribute to technical discussions, code reviews, and evolving engineering best practices. ## INTERESTING TECHNICAL CHALLENGES - AI-powered workflows: Support and extend LLM-driven systems used in real-time healthcare interactions. - Real-time systems: Work on low-latency services that process live voice and patient data. - Healthcare integrations: Build resilient abstractions across fragmented, regulated systems while maintaining security and compliance. ## WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR - 3–5 years of experience building and shipping production software. - Strong full-stack experience with Node.js, TypeScript, React, and PostgreSQL. - Comfort working in ambiguous environments and learning quickly. - A strong sense of ownership—you care about quality, reliability, and real-world impact. - Clear communication and a collaborative mindset. You’ll be a great fit if you enjoy shipping real software, learning from experienced teammates, and growing your technical judgment while working on meaningful problems. ## INTERVIEW PROCESS We move quickly and communicate clearly at every stage: - Intro Chat (20–30 min, Virtual): Background, role context, and mutual fit. - Technical Interview (1 hr, Virtual): Practical system design and coding discussion with an engineer. - Onsite Team Day (Half Day, NYC): Collaborate on real problems, meet the team, and assess mutual fit. Decisions are typically made within 24 hours of each stage. ## About Clarion ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Clarion provides an AI communication layer for healthcare, automating phone-based workflows like scheduling, referrals, and prescription refills with conversational AI agents. - **Entity Type**: Private (seed-stage; raised $5.5M in funding) - **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States - **Founded**: 2023 - **Founders**: Ryan Gallagher (CEO) and Jeffrey Lamothe (CTO) ## Core Business - Primary Industry: Healthcare technology / AI-powered patient communication - Target Customers: B2B – virtual care companies, health systems, large insurance plans (e.g., a $5B health insurer), and clinics - Mission: “Reimagine care delivery for modern healthcare… by making it effortless to access and receive care” using AI to streamline scheduling, refills, and referral ingestion. ## Products & Services - **Clarion AI Voice Agent**: A 24/7 conversational AI that handles inbound phone calls, texts, and web interactions for scheduling, rescheduling, billing/insurance questions, prescription refills, and post-visit check-ins.
