Healthcare providers go into medicine to care for people, but end up losing valuable time each day to admin work and other workplace challenges. Time that could otherwise be spent helping patients. And patients end up suffering as a result. At Commure, we build solutions that simplify providers' lives and keep them connected to their patients so they can focus on doing what matters most: providing care.

Our innovative suite of software and hardware – augmented by advanced LLM AI, RTLS, and healthcare workflow automations – boosts efficiency across every domain of healthcare, freeing up healthcare providers to spend more of their time caring for patients. Our growing suite of technologies include staff duress alerting, asset tracking, patient elopement, revenue cycle management, clinical documentation and intake, provider copilots, patient engagement and communication, home health, remote patient monitoring, and more.

Today, we support over 250,000 clinicians across hundreds of care sites around the country. And we’re only just getting started: Healthcare’s watershed moment for AI-powered transformation is here – so join us in creating the technology to power healthcare!

As a Senior Engineering Manager, you’ll lead the charge in scaling our engineering team and delivering high-impact software solutions that streamline healthcare operations and improve patient care. You will be at the forefront of one of the company's flagship businesses, compounding at a rapid rate. You will be responsible for shaping the technical direction of our platform while driving team growth and development in a fast-paced and collaborative environment.

About the Role

This role will lead the RCM Core Backend Team at Commure + Athelas, the team responsible for building and maintaining the critical infrastructure that powers our entire Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) product. Our systems handle hundreds of millions of dollars in claims a year, freeing healthcare providers from tedious processes and allowing them to just be a doctor. We accomplish this with robust integrations, fault-tolerant data pipelines, and a swath of clever automations.

In this role, you will work with a high-performance team to drive product-wide initiatives, scale mission-critical backend services, and build new automations, all while ensuring system reliability, performance, and correctness. You’ll help manage both responsibilities of our team: supporting the RCM Product team to build customer-facing features on top of our solutions, as well as working with the Operations team to deliver and maintain novel automations that enable our business to scale with increasing efficiency. You'll also foster a culture of high ownership and engineering excellence, helping grow a team that thrives on solving complex, real-world problems at scale.
