About the role

Founding Engineer

This is a forward-deployed founding engineer role. You'll own the customer relationship end to end, sit inside the workflows of the evaluators and enterprises we work with, and build the systems that automate their work. You'll work directly with me and with customers, turn what you learn into product, and make the technical decisions that shape how Docura is built.

Who you'll work with

You'll work directly with me, the founder. Before Docura I worked at Athelas (now Commure), a multi-billion dollar healthcare company, where I built the first integrations in the company's history, working with everyone from small private practices to Tenet Healthcare, one of the largest health systems in the country.

When I was starting out, I drove around dropping donuts off at clinics just to get someone to talk to me. That's how I met the doctor who taught me about the med-legal space, and how we landed our first customers and started growing the business.

We're looking for people who work the same way: hustle, an itch to figure things out, a can-do mentality, and the drive to always do more.

What you'll own

  • The customer relationship. You'll be forward-deployed, working face-to-face with customers, understanding how they actually work, and turning that into product.
  • Building 0 to 1. New products and workflows, from a blank page into production.
  • Reliable agent orchestration. Designing agent systems that are accurate and dependable enough to run real cases in a high-stakes, regulated domain.
  • Ingesting large volumes of documents. Making sense of thousands of pages of messy, unstructured medical records and claim files at scale.
  • Tying together audio and document workflows. Bringing voice applications and document applications into a single system that does real work.
  • Working inside large enterprises. Building and deploying into the systems of record of large, complex organizations.

What we're looking for

Must-haves

  • A strong full-stack engineer who thrives on ambiguous, hard problems
  • Strong technical judgment about architecture and product tradeoffs
  • Ships fast without sacrificing the reliability our customers depend on
  • Genuinely comfortable working directly with customers and owning the relationship
  • Already has US work authorization (we can't sponsor visas)

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience with agent orchestration, LLM applications, or large-scale document/data pipelines
  • Experience with voice or audio applications
  • Experience selling into or deploying inside large enterprises
  • Former founder or early-stage startup experience

About the interview

Interview Process

  1. A live 15-minute chat with me, the founder.
  2. A live coding screen.
  3. A one-day onsite (paid).
  4. A final call.

We move fast and give quick feedback at every step.

About Docura Health

Docura is building the automation layer for workers’ compensation and med-legal.

Workers’ compensation is a $60B+ industry still powered by technology stuck in the ’90s. Medical records are still exchanged through CDs, paper, fax, and clunky portals. Claims professionals and medical evaluators spend hours manually clicking through legacy software, reviewing thousands of pages of documents, and moving information between disconnected systems.

We’re building the AI systems and agents that automate this work end-to-end.

Docura is already in production with medical groups processing real cases, and we’re working with large enterprises to automate much broader claims workflows. We’re still early: the opportunity is to build the infrastructure and agents that power how claims and med-legal work gets done.

Why Join Docura

We’re a small team, which means you’ll work face-to-face with real customers, make critical product and architectural decisions, and ship into production quickly. You’ll have the opportunity to own important problems from day one and help build the foundation of a company going after a massive, deeply underserved market.

How We Work

We're a small team, which means you'll work face-to-face with real customers, make critical product and architectural decisions, and ship into production quickly. You'll own important problems from day one and help build the foundation of a company going after a massive, deeply underserved market.

We value:

  • Speed — We move quickly, ship, learn, and iterate. Getting something in front of real users beats spending weeks debating the perfect solution.

  • High ownership and agency — We don't wait to be told what to do. We identify problems, form opinions, challenge assumptions, and take responsibility for getting things done. We care about outcomes, not just completing tasks.

  • Customer obsession — We stay extremely close to the people using what we build. We understand how they actually work, what causes them pain, and build around real problems rather than assumptions.

  • Relationships matter — Great businesses are built on great relationships. We invest in knowing our customers, earning their trust, and being people they genuinely want to work with. We believe those relationships compound over time.

If you want to work on hard problems, move quickly, and have real ownership over something with real-world impact, come build with us.
