Job description
Quoted in full from Max AI, Inc.'s job posting. Gavroche does not edit it.
Max AI – Stripe for Healthcare
Max AI is the World’s first human-free, fully-autonomous medical billing AI agent.
Many startups are attempting to attack this problem because the market is so big — $350B/yr.
We have the best team going after it.
While everyone else still needs humans in the loop, we’ve cracked the code for medical billing starting with dermatology, and are rapidly adding support for every other specialty.
Medical doctors who code are rare. We have the best one in the world. His previous apps have driven 50M+ downloads, all while running an incredibly successful practice of his own where he literally did the billing by hand himself. Our Head of AI has been doing AI research at MIT and Caltech for over 10 years. And our Head of Engineering was one of the earliest engineers at Figma.
