About Fira Health

Fira Health builds AI-native infrastructure to automate the administrative backbone of healthcare. We’re starting with home health, helping agencies reduce overhead, accelerate payments, and focus more on care—not paperwork. Our agentic AI platform integrates directly into providers’ operations, automating complex workflows like insurance verification, prior authorization, and billing.

Fira is backed by top-tier investors and built by a team with deep expertise across healthcare operations, applied AI, and complex workflow automation.

We’re hiring a Product Engineer to design and build the AI systems that power our AI automation platform. You’ll work across domains such as intake, clinical documentation, and revenue cycle management, translating real-world processes into scalable, reliable software and agentic workflows.
