Senior Full-Stack Engineer

About Clarion

At Clarion, we're rebuilding how healthcare communicates in the age of AI. Today, clinics miss 30-40% of patient calls while staff drowns in administrative tasks. We believe AI agents should handle these workflows—scheduling, billing, prescription refills—so healthcare teams can focus on actual patient care.

We're building the communication infrastructure that modern healthcare desperately needs. Our AI agents don't just answer calls; they complete entire workflows end-to-end, giving providers back their time and ensuring patients never go unheard. We've already handled hundreds of thousands of patient interactions across virtual care companies, health systems, and a $5B health insurance company.

Founded by a Stanford/Harvard-trained physician who was on the founding team of Two Chairs and Ophelia, and an ex-Amazon Alexa engineer who led AI/ML teams at Salesforce, we uniquely understand both the clinical and technical challenges of transforming healthcare communication. We've raised $5.4M from Accel, Y Combinator, Sequoia (scout), and healthcare founders from Ophelia, Medallion, and Counsel Health. We're an in‑person team based in New York, moving fast to ensure no patient call goes unanswered.
