Posted 2025-09-08
Remote, USA Full Time Immediate Start
<p class=" text-gray-200 text-base sm:text-lg leading-relaxed mb-3">Fathom is on a mission to use AI to understand and structure the world’s medical data, starting by making sense of the terabytes of clinician notes contained within the electronic health records of the world’s largest health systems. Our deep learning engine automates the translation of patient records into the billing codes used for healthcare provider reimbursement, a process today that costs hospitals in the US $15B+ annually and tens of billions more in errors and denied claims. We are a venture-backed company that completed a Series B round of financing for $46M in late 2022.</p>
<p class=" text-gray-200 text-base sm:text-lg leading-relaxed mb-3">We are looking for a <strong class=" font-semibold">Senior Software Engineer (Backend/Data)</strong> based remotely in the USA to work on data products that drive the core of our business. We want to work with remote teammates who are excited about learning how to build and support machine learning pipelines that scale not just computationally, but in ways that are flexible, iterative, and geared for collaboration. If you are a backend expert able to unify data, and build systems that scale from both an operational and an organizational perspective, Fathom is an opportunity worth exploring!</p>
