Role summary

Brighterway, a VC-backed startup (Y Combinator S24) specializing in AI-powered medical record review tools for workers' compensation, is seeking a full-stack engineer. This role involves taking ambiguous customer problems, proposing solutions, and rapidly prototyping and shipping features. The engineer will own full-stack development, including backend, APIs, and data pipelines, and collaborate directly with the CEO and CTO. The ideal candidate has strong full-stack experience (Python, Node.js), a bias for action, excellent debugging and problem-solving skills, and comfort interacting with customers and non-technical stakeholders. Experience in health tech, ML tooling, document processing, or claims systems, along with cloud infrastructure knowledge (AWS, GCP), is preferred.

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
