Join us at Health Harbor

Over a third of all healthcare costs stems from overhead in insurance billing. For the first time, we’re able to automate that away with AI. Health Harbor is using LLMs to fully automate calling insurance for doctors. This saves an average practice 40 hours every month. Our mission is to simplify healthcare so doctors and their offices can spend less time figuring out logistics, and instead focus on the patients they care about.

We're backed by YCombinator and are already making revenue after just a few short months. We'd like to invite you to join us on our journey to make healthcare easier. We are looking for outstanding product-focused software engineers who are just as passionate about healthcare as we are. As an Engineer at Health Harbor, you'll have the chance to tackle difficult technical problems. From working on cutting edge generative AI to building a scalable system from the ground up, you’ll get to work on a fast moving project from day one. Also, as a foundational member of our early team, you'll be instrumental in shaping our company culture and long-term engineering practices.
