Software Engineer
at Brighterway — Streamlining the medical record review process in workers comp
What the role involves
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
At Brighterway, we use AI to speed up the medical record review process in the Workers' Compensation Industry. Physicians and claims handlers spend hours reviewing thousands of pages of medical documents– our technology highlights the information that is most relevant to a doctor's specialty or a given injury, streamlining their review process and saving them time. Brighterway structures and deduplicates disorganized medical records (PDFs) and extracts the content that is medically relevant and related to a given claim, so they can focus on what matters most.
