Product Operations & QA Specialist
About AKASA
At AKASA, our mission is to build the future of healthcare with AI. As the leading provider of generative AI solutions for the healthcare revenue cycle, we help health systems comprehensively capture and communicate the full patient clinical journey. By empowering health systems to streamline their operations, they can focus on what matters most - delivering quality patient care. We have raised over $205M in funding from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, BOND, and Costanoa Ventures.
This is the most exciting time to join AKASA. Revenue bookings for our new AI-native product suite have grown over 20x since launching in 2024. In this time, we have broken our record for the largest deal in company history three times consecutively. This growth is driven by the massive improvement we are generating for our customers across clinical quality and documentation accuracy, both top priority areas for health system leaders.
Our deployments have been recognized nationally as "one of the most comprehensive real-world uses of GenAI in healthcare finance to date" (link). Our customer base represents more than $120B+ in net patient revenue and includes the most innovative health systems in the country, like Cleveland Clinic, Duke, Stanford, and Johns Hopkins.
Some of our recent recognitions include being named one of America's Top Startup Employers 2026 by Forbes, #1 most promising healthcare RCM startup of 2025 by Black Book Market Research, and one of the fastest-growing GenAI startups to watch by AIM Research. Our CEO was ranked among the “Top 50 Healthcare Technology CEOs” by the Healthcare Technology Report, and we have been certified as a “Great Place to Work” for the past 6 years in a row.
We’re building on this momentum to redefine what’s possible in healthcare. We’re looking for exceptional people to help us accelerate that reality.
About the Role
We're looking for a Product Operations & QA Specialist to help us ship reliable, high-quality healthcare software. This is a role for someone who thinks like an owner: you'll be the person who catches what others miss, turns messy support signals into clear action, and makes sure releases go out only when they're truly ready.
You'll own the full quality lifecycle for one or more product areas: from building smart regression suites to triaging real-world issues from the front lines of support. It's a role that blends rigor with judgment: you'll need to know when a bug is a blocker and when it's noise, and you'll need to communicate that distinction clearly to PMs, engineers, and stakeholders who are counting on your read.
If you've worked in a hospital or clinic and know what's actually at stake when healthcare software breaks, and you want to bring that firsthand perspective into how a product gets tested, supported, and improved, we'd love to talk.

Design, maintain and improve testing plans, regression suites, and QA checklists.
Help define go/no-go criteria for releases in their product area, in partnership with PM/TPM/eng.
