Medical bills and insurance coverage shouldn’t be this hard to navigate. At Granted, we’re building the one solution every American can turn to for help.\nThanks to AI and new regulations, Granted can fight claim denials, correct billing errors, negotiate bills, and make coverage easier to understand-saving people time, money, and stress. Our goal is simple: to be the #1 platform that empowers all Americans to take charge of their healthcare.\nAbout Us\nFounded by a former Oscar Health leader, we’re a seed-stage company with $17M in funding. We’re lucky to be backed by the founders and investors at Hugging Face, Rocket Money, Oscar Health, CaseText, Forerunner Ventures, RRE Ventures, and more. We are well-funded for the next few years.\nCurious about our engineering culture + tech stack? Check out this write-up.\nLocation: While parts of our engineering team operate remotely elsewhere in the US, we strongly encourage New York-based applicants who are excited to engage in a more in-person hybrid dynamic. Local employees typically work from our Chelsea office Monday through Thursday, with Fridays working from home.\nAbout the Role\nThe Automations pod turns complex healthcare case work into scalable, agentic workflows - driving automation coverage, lowering cost to serve, and ensuring users get fast, accurate outcomes without needing to navigate the system themselves.\nAs an engineer on this team, you’ll help build the intelligence layer behind these workflows - designing distributed systems, integrating AI models, and ensuring everything runs reliably at scale.\nWhat You’ll Do\nDesign and build scalable systems and APIs that power agentic workflows from case activation through resolution.\n\nPush the frontier of AI-driven engineering, working on prompt orchestration, agent frameworks, and model evaluation loops.\n\nCollaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and domain experts to translate complex healthcare processes into reliable automations.\n\nArchitect systems for scale and reliability, ensuring human escalation pathways are transparent and seamless.\n\nPlay a key role in shaping the pod’s technical strategy, and mentor others as the team grows.\n\nWhat You Might Work On\nCreating and optimizing AI pipelines to identify, categorize, and resolve errors in medical billing and insurance claims.\n\nBuilding automated agents and backend services that handle complex case flows with minimal human intervention.\n\nIntegrating domain-specific healthcare knowledge into models and decision engines to improve accuracy.\n\nDeveloping tooling and infrastructure to measure and improve AI performance in real-world scenarios.\n\nWe'll be most excited if you\nBring 9+ years of backend engineering experience, ideally building production systems at scale.\n\nAre deeply curious about AI - from prompt engineering and agent orchestration to model evaluation.\n\nExcel at designing pragmatic solutions to complex technical challenges.\n\nCommunicate clearly and collaborate effectively across disciplines.\n\nThrive in high-autonomy, fast-moving environments.\n\n(Bonus) Have experience with healthcare data, product engineering, ML systems, or web crawling.\n\n(Extra bonus) Have 10+ years of GPT-5 experience - or, failing that, a good sense of humor.\n\nYou don't need to check every single box-if you're passionate, driven, and excited about the impact AI can make on the healthcare system, we'd love to hear from you!\nGranted is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
