About the role

Brighterway is a VC-backed startup (Y Combinator S24) building AI-powered medical record review tools for the workers’ compensation ecosystem. We process 10M+ pages of medical records per month and are growing rapidly across national claims organizations.

We're hiring a full-stack generalist who loves building fast. Someone who can take ambiguous customer problems, propose a solution, and ship a working prototype in days.

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys founder-style autonomy, talking to customers, and owning features end-to-end. You’ll work directly with the CEO and CTO to define, build, and iterate on high-impact product lines.

What You’ll Do

  • Join live calls with founders, clients, and partners to understand needs in real time.
  • Build 0→1 prototypes, workflows, integrations, and internal tools extremely quickly.
  • Own full-stack development across backend, APIs, data pipelines, and lightweight UIs.
  • Debug production issues, unblock product teams, and ensure delivery to key clients.
  • Collaborate across ML, FE, and operations to ship experiments and new product lines.
  • Create scaffolding that the rest of the engineering team can harden later.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong full-stack experience (Python, Node, etc.)
  • Demonstrated ability to build end-to-end features independently
  • Bias toward action: prototype first, perfect later
  • Strong debugging + problem-solving skills
  • Comfort talking to customers, founders, and non-technical stakeholders
  • Startup DNA: scrappy, adaptable, and solutions-focused

Nice to Have

  • Experience in health tech, ML tooling, document processing, or claims systems
  • Experience with AWS, GCP, or cloud infra
  • Prior early-stage startup experience or founding experience

Why Brighterway

  • Work directly with founders on high-impact product lines
  • Ship fast and see your work used by national claims organizations
  • Competitive salary + meaningful equity
  • Fast-moving, execution-oriented environment

About Brighterway

We are the backend for the med-legal industry. You’ll be working to create applications that are used to process tens of millions of pages of medical records monthly, and assist physicians and claims managers in producing high-quality reports quickly and efficiently using AI.
