About xCures
The best of medicine should belong to everyone. Nobody dreams of becoming good at being a patient. We have people to love, things we want to do, and plans we hope to keep. Illness already asks enough of us.
xCures® exists to give healthcare the capacity to care for everyone. Healthcare has more to give. Too much of its time, money, and talent goes into unnecessary work that keeps people waiting and drives up the cost of care. Freeing those resources can make excellent care possible for far more people.
xCures understands a patient’s history across the places they receive care and keeps that understanding current. It puts trusted information in the hands of the people who need it, when they need it, and uses that knowledge to take on more of the administrative work around care. Every extracted data point traces back to the exact document and page it came from.
Our ambition is to empower doctors to make better decisions, enable researchers to develop better treatments faster, and help healthcare organizations serve more people with fewer errors and lower costs. We work with diagnostic labs, providers, telehealth companies, health systems, payers, and consumer health platforms. We are a fully remote, venture-backed team that holds itself to the same standard as our product: trustworthy, precise, and purposeful.
We are building for the lives people want to live.
Here’s Where You’ll Make An Impact:
xCures is looking for a Senior AI Software Engineer to help pioneer how AI gets used in one of the most regulated industries there is: healthcare.

Contribute to new platform and product deliverables as our architecture evolves

Experience with event-driven architecture or CQRS
Strong foundation in core computer science fundamentals and algorithmic thinking
An agile, systems-level thinker who can diagnose ambiguous problems and drive to a solution using first-principles reasoning
