What we do

We’re fixing one of the most broken and costly pieces of the US healthcare system: medical billing.

Today, healthcare providers spend over $250B each year on administrative overhead just to get paid by insurance. Medical billing is expensive because it’s nuanced and hard - maybe ~100x harder than credit card payment processing - and because it’s traditionally done by armies of humans who track and manage complex rules and processes specific to individual insurance companies with little or no supporting software.

We’re rethinking medical billing from the ground up, using data science and machine learning to automate much of this complexity, so healthcare providers can get paid dramatically more easily and inexpensively.

Since finishing the Y Combinator W20 batch we've been funded by an incredible group of funds + angel investors. We have many more customers begging to use our product than we have bandwidth to serve, which is why we need you to help us scale!

We’re seeking our first Legal Counsel to join our team and collaborate closely with our founder, product, and business teams. You will be responsible for all aspects of commercial contracting, including deal structuring, and drafting, review, and negotiation of revenue generating contracts. You will also be integral to developing scalable infrastructure for providing legal support to Candid's rapidly growing portfolio of commercial customers, and play a strategic role in helping Candid achieve its goals in a time of dynamic growth.

We’re a team that values both creativity and teamwork. Whether operating solo or collaboratively, we endeavor to achieve great results on projects of all types. You'll be given open ended objectives and will find ways to turn them into outcomes. By focusing on the broad vision without losing sight of the details, you'll bring large and multi-phase projects to successful completion while prioritizing team outcomes over individual wins. You are able to deliver complex information in an understandable way, and can manage high touch business partners in a constantly shifting landscape.

You are ready to jump into a deal at a moment’s notice and become an expert on the intricate details of the contracts that enable Candid to implement its cutting-edge technology to solve real-world problems. You are passionate about designing and implementing scalable systems that amplify your impact on the company.
