About Amperos Health

Amperos Health is the leading provider of multi-modal RCM agents empowering healthcare clinics to collect more revenue, faster. Founded in 2023 and backed by Uncork, Neo, Nebular.vc and strategic angels from OpenAI, Stripe, and Twilio, we're on a mission to revamp the bridge between healthcare providers and payers. Our vision is to equip healthcare providers with an AI workforce that reduces administrative burden and accelerates revenue.

As an AI Engineer on our research team, you’ll work on our hardest research and AI infra problems. You’ll both help prototype new products and also work on turning prototypes into a high quality AI product. Hard problems include passing the healthcare billing Turing Test – would an insurance agent who is interacting with our AI or a healthcare biller who is reviewing the work of our AI think our AI is a human, and not an AI?

More concretely, you will be working to improve our AI agent’s quality so it acts more human-like and collects more accurate and detailed results from insurance.
