About ClarityCare AI
ClarityCare AI is building AI infrastructure for healthcare utilization management and prior authorization workflows. Their AI agents process clinical documents, reason over medical criteria, and automate authorization decisions in real time — reducing processing timelines from days to minutes.
The company launched commercially in 2025 and rapidly scaled to seven-figure ARR within months. The founding team includes engineers and researchers from MIT, Apple, Google, and OpenAI-backed startups.
About the Role
ClarityCare AI is hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to own customer deployments and technical relationships end-to-end. Unlike traditional FDE organizations, all engineers are both customer-facing and deeply technical — owning frontend, backend, infrastructure, and AI systems simultaneously. The role blends full-stack engineering, deployment ownership, AI infrastructure, customer communication, and production debugging in live healthcare environments.
