## Description

### About Brighterway

Brighterway builds AI-native claims software and administration for casualty claims. We started in workers' compensation medical-legal review, where our agentic document pipeline sorts, de-duplicates and summarizes some of the most document-heavy files in the industry for national medical-evaluation networks. We are now building the claims platform on top of that foundation: intake across mail, fax, phone and email, bill review, subrogation, reserving signals, a workflow language, and state and federal reporting.
We are backed by Y Combinator and Maverick Ventures. Our customers handle protected health information every day, so we run HIPAA, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 programs. The team is small and technical and sits close to customers. Everyone ships, and everyone talks to the people who use what they ship.

### The role

You will build the claims platform that sits on top of our document intelligence: claim intake across channels, work queues, bill review, subrogation, policy management, and a workflow language that lets non-engineers describe how a claim should move. This is greenfield product work with real customers already using it.

### What you will do

- Design and ship full-stack features across a TypeScript and React front end and Python and Node services on GCP.

- Own data models for claims, documents, parties and events, with the audit trail a regulated industry requires.

- Build the execution engine behind our workflow language and the editor people use to author workflows.

- Integrate with carrier and state reporting systems (EDI, FROI/SROI, state-specific reporting).

- Keep the platform secure and compliant: access controls, logging, PHI handling, SOC 2 evidence.

### What we look for

- 4+ years of professional software engineering with ownership of significant systems.

- Strong TypeScript or Python, and good judgment about data modeling and system boundaries.

- You have built products that real users depend on and you care about correctness.

- You are comfortable in a small team where you set much of your own direction.

### Nice to have

- Insurance, claims, healthcare or fintech experience.

- Firestore or other document databases, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, or serverless architectures.

- Rules engines, DSLs or workflow systems.

### How we work

- Small team, high trust, direct access to founders and customers.

- We ship to production weekly and measure ourselves on customer outcomes.

- Competitive salary and meaningful equity. Health, dental and vision coverage. Flexible time off.
