Healthcare Payments AI Startup
New York, NY | In-Person
Our client is looking for an exceptional CTO (This is not an advisory CTO role, but hands‑on) to lead technology, product architecture, and engineering execution for a new AI healthcare payments company.
This is a funded, early‑stage venture built around a high‑conviction thesis at the intersection of healthcare, payments, revenue cycle, and AI. The company is focused on improving complex financial workflows across the healthcare ecosystem, including provider‑payer payment processes, claims workflows, revenue cycle operations, payment reconciliation, denials, and administrative automation.
We are looking for a hands‑on technical leader who can build the product, architect the platform, recruit the early engineering team, and move quickly from MVP to scalable commercial product.
What We’re Building
The company is developing an AI‑enabled healthcare payments application designed to improve how healthcare organizations manage payment, claims, and revenue‑cycle workflows.
The platform will use AI, workflow automation, data integrations, and secure infrastructure to reduce manual work, improve accuracy, accelerate payment processes, and create better visibility across healthcare financial operations.
Areas of Focus May Include
- Claims and payment workflow automation
- Provider‑payer financial operations
- Revenue cycle and reimbursement workflows
- Denials, reconciliation, and payment exceptions
- Healthcare data ingestion and normalization
- Secure integrations with healthcare, billing, claims, and payment systems

- Strong product instincts and comfort working with customers, commercial leaders, investors, and advisors
- Interest or experience in healthcare, payments, fintech, revenue cycle, or healthcare infrastructure
