About Abridge

Abridge was founded in 2018 with the mission of powering deeper understanding in healthcare. Our AI-powered platform was purpose-built for medical conversations, improving clinical documentation efficiencies while enabling clinicians to focus on what matters most—their patients.

Our enterprise-grade technology transforms patient-clinician conversations into structured clinical notes in real-time, with deep EMR integrations. Powered by Linked Evidence and our purpose-built, auditable AI, we are the only company that maps AI-generated summaries to ground truth, helping providers quickly trust and verify the output. As pioneers in generative AI for healthcare, we are setting the industry standards for the responsible deployment of AI across health systems.

We are a growing team of practicing MDs, AI scientists, PhDs, creatives, technologists, and engineers working together to empower people and make care make more sense. We have offices located in the SoHo neighborhood of New York, the Mission District in San Francisco, and Lawrenceville in Pittsburgh.

The Role

Our generative AI-powered products are bringing joy back to the practice of nursing. In this role, you'll support a team of US-based software engineers who are building an Abridge experience designed specifically for nursing documentation. This is a brand new user-facing, enterprise product built off of Abridge's foundational conversation-first approach.

• People Management: Recruit, retain, and mentor full-stack software engineers. Provide regular feedback; create opportunities for career growth; and foster a culture of collaboration and excellence.

• Project Management: Work closely with stakeholders such as product managers and customers to plan, execute, and support multiple projects simultaneously. You will be responsible for the engineering process in the team and the output of the team.

• Technical Leadership: Help set business context for the team and apply your knowledge of business and software engineering to guide architectural discussions; anticipate and resolve technical challenges; and advocate for technology projects.

• Champion Quality: Set a high standard for your team including software quality; communication; collaboration; and compliance with industry and regulatory standards.

Who You Are

• A strong technologist, with 5+ years as a software engineer building web applications in a cloud native environment and 2+ years managing software engineering teams. You can provide useful feedback on a staff-level engineer’s design proposals or pull requests. You have built complex fullstack systems in a major cloud platform (we’re on GCP, but appreciate AWS experience too) and have experience-backed opinions about CSS frameworks; containers; and databases.

• Knowledgeable about the software development lifecycle. You view processes such as Kanban and Scrum as tools in a toolbox, and you know which tools to apply in which situations.

• Great at hiring and mentorship. You have a track record of bringing talented engineers into an organization, and the people you’ve supported say that you have helped advance their careers.

• Up-to-date on industry best-practices and tools, and enjoy learning new things

• Excited about being hands-on in a fast-moving, productive, and supportive environment

• Willing to pitch in wherever needed

• Has thrived in a fast-growing startup, knows how to operate in that environment

Why work at Abridge?

At Abridge, we’re driven by our mission to bring understanding and follow-through to every medical conversation. Our culture is founded on doing things the “inverse” way in a legacy system—focusing on patients, instead of the system; focusing on outcomes, instead of billing; and focusing on the end-user experience, instead of a hospital administrator's mandate.

Abridgers are engineers, scientists, designers, and health policy experts from a diverse set of backgrounds—an experiment in alchemy that helps us transform an industry dominated by EHRs and enterprise into a consumer-driven experience, one recording at a time. We believe in strong ideas, loosely held, and place a high premium on a growth mindset. We push each other to grow and expose each other to the latest in our respective fields. Whether it’s holding a PhD-level deep dive into understanding fairness and underlying bias in machine learning models, debating the merits of a Scandinavian design philosophy in our UI/UX, or writing responses for Medicare rules to influence U.S. health policy, we prioritize sharing our findings across the team and helping each other be successful.

How we take care of Abridgers:

• Generous Time Off: 13 paid holidays, flexible PTO for salaried employees, and accrued time off for hourly employees.

• Comprehensive Health Plans: Medical, Dental, and Vision plans for all full-time employees. Abridge covers 100% of the premium for you and 75% for dependents. If you choose a HSA-eligible plan, Abridge also makes monthly contributions to your HSA. 

• Paid Parental Leave: 16 weeks paid parental leave for all full-time employees.

• 401k and Matching: Contribution matching to help invest in your future.

• Pre-tax Benefits: Access to Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Commuter Benefits.

• Learning and Development Budget: Yearly contributions for coaching, courses, workshops, conferences, and more.

• Sabbatical Leave: 30 days of paid Sabbatical Leave after 5 years of employment.

• Compensation and Equity: Competitive compensation and equity grants for full time employees.

• ... and much more!
