What the role involves
About Clarion
The hardest part of healthcare shouldn’t be getting an appointment. Today, medical staff drown in backlogs of calls, faxes, and scheduling requests. Patients struggle to get the right care at the right time, staff members burn out, and clinics lose billions in revenue. This isn’t a failure of care - it’s a failure of capacity.
Clarion exists to solve this problem at scale. Our AI agents handle the patient journey from end-to-end; from scheduling and rescheduling appointments, to managing referrals and prescription refills. Our AI performs complex workflows with a human-like touch that patients love.
We’ve raised $5.5M from Accel, Y Combinator, and Sequoia (Scout), along with founders from Ophelia, Medallion, and Counsel Health. We’re an in-person team based in New York City, moving quickly to ensure every patient gets the care they need.
Why Join Us?
Solving a real-world challenge : We’re addressing a critical problem that affects millions of patients and providers daily. Our AI agents outperform human schedulers and restore the time needed to focus on patients.
Early-stage with strong market validation : We’ve seen 10x revenue growth in the last year alone. We handle millions of interactions for customers ranging from virtual care clinics to a $5B health insurance company.
Founding team : Our co-founders bring a deep understanding of the healthcare landscape. Our CEO is a Stanford/Harvard-trained physician and clinical ops leader (Two Chairs, Ophelia), and our CTO is an ex-Amazon Alexa engineer who led AI/ML teams at Salesforce.
Outsized early impact : You'll be joining at an early stage where your contributions shape our company's trajectory, processes, and culture, with significant influence on how we grow.
In-person collaboration advantage : We've built in-person since day one and maintain this as a strategic advantage. We move faster, build stronger bonds, and create a cohesive culture.
What You'll Be Working On
Build and ship : Write production code—building integrations, configuring AI agents, and implementing platform logic based on customer workflows and scheduling rules.
Own implementations end-to-end : Create and manage technical project plans from scoping through go-live. Coordinate internal resources, delegate workstreams, and drive timelines to completion.
Engineer our moat: Our competitive advantage is our ability to stay in the weeds with customers until the technology works. You will architect the high-leverage systems and playbooks that transform these complex implementations into a repeatable, scalable infrastructure.
Be the technical face to customers : Serve as primary POC for customer technical teams—leading discovery sessions, unblocking integration issues, and building trusted advisor relationships.
Optimize AI agents in production : Monitor agent performance at scale, diagnose failure modes, and iteratively refine behavior to improve accuracy, reliability, and patient experience over time.
Grow accounts : Drive expansion post-launch by deploying new features, identifying upsell opportunities, and proactively solving emerging pain points.
Shape the product : Translate field observations and customer feedback into actionable requirements that inform the product roadmap.
Requirements
Technical foundation : 3+ years of engineering experience shipping production systems while working directly with customers. This is a hands-on coding role, not purely project management.
Project leadership : Track record of managing complex, multi-workstream technical projects and coordinating cross-functional resources to deliver on time.
Customer-facing presence : Experience as a primary technical POC—comfortable leading architecture discussions and building relationships with technical stakeholders.
Product intuition : Ability to synthesize customer needs into insights that bridge field reality and engineering priorities.

About Clarion
Clarion is building the most advanced AI communication layer for healthcare. Our AI agents handle the overwhelming volume of calls and messages that clinics face daily—from scheduling to billing to prescription refills—freeing staff to focus on patient care. We're an in-person company based in New York. Today, clinics miss 30-40% of inbound calls due to staffing shortages. We're solving this by automating complex workflows end-to-end, already serving tens of thousands of patients monthly across virtual care companies, health systems, and a $5B health insurance company. We've raised $5.4M from Accel, Y Combinator, Sequoia (scout), and healthcare founders from Ophelia, Medallion, and Counsel Health. Our founders bring both clinical and technical expertise—our CEO Ryan is a Stanford/Harvard-trained physician who was on the founding teams of Two Chairs and Ophelia, while our CTO Jeffrey built voice AI at Amazon Alexa and led AI/ML teams at Salesforce. Join us as we transform healthcare communication—creating a future where patients get faster resolutions and providers reclaim time for what matters most.
