Founding Software Engineer - Abstractive Health

Company Background: Abstractive Health helps doctors read and write clinical notes faster with an automated summary of the patient chart using generative AI. Doctors are overwhelmed by documentation and have just 3 minutes on average to review the patient chart. We solve this problem by making the cliff notes for healthcare so doctors can focus more of their time on patient care. Our company was borne through our research with Weill Cornell Medicine  where we demonstrated the capability a narrative computer-generated summary would provide for physicians. We are a VC funded startup and implementing pilots at NewYork Presbyterian Emergency Department and the Cleveland Clinic of Abu Dhabi.

Job Start Date: Immediately. You will be expected to start on-site within 3 weeks of being offered the role.

Job Location: Tata Innovation Center, 11 E Loop Rd, Roosevelt Island, New York, NY 10044.

Job Description: As a founding software engineer,  you will be building our key product features. You will work directly with the CEO and CTO on the following:

• Front end app development (React, Javascript, Redux)

• Integrating UI components with APIs and databases

• AWS infrastructure including machine learning deployment pipelines

• Electronic Health Record (EHR) integration and building FHIR APIs

• Debug errors, troubleshoot issues, and perform routine performance optimizations

• Write high-quality, scalable, and reusable code

We are currently integrated with Epic Systems, an EHR system, to pull the complete longitudinal prior medical history of the patient. A patient record has on average 100,000 words; we have a proprietary method for summarizing all of these words. You will work alongside us in improving our SMART on FHIR software application while maintaining best practices for HIPAA and SOC-2 compliance.
