Summary Generated by Built In

At Commure, we're building the AI Operating System for healthcare, the foundation that defines how care is delivered, documented, and financed. Our platform spans the full care journey: Ambient AI and Dictation eliminating documentation burden at the point of care, intelligent Agents automating patient and revenue workflows, and autonomous RCM processing billions in claims, all on a single AI-native platform integrated with 60+ EHRs.

Healthcare carries a $1 trillion administrative burden and we're at the center of transforming it. Today, 500,000+ clinicians across 500+ healthcare organizations nationwide trust Commure to handle $25B+ in annual claims and support over 200 million patient interactions. Our latest $70M raise at a $7B valuation reflects the confidence the market has placed in this mission. We've also been named to the Fortune Future 50 list and the 2026 AI Breakthrough Awards for “Overall NLP Company of the Year.”

Our team works directly alongside clinicians, not through layers of process, which means the gap between what you build and its impact on patient care is immediate. We move fast, deploy daily, and take full ownership from early thinking to production. If you're energized by hard problems, high stakes, and a team that holds itself to a high bar, you'll find your people here.

The future of healthcare is being built right now. Come deliver this transformation.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the Ambient Product Engineering team powering the entire suite of Ambient AI products across care settings and specialties. This team builds and owns the core product features used across clinician-facing experiences: ambient capture, real-time note generation, review & edit flows, copilot-style assistance, and admin tooling embedded into clinical workflows. The product engineering team is at the heart of our product vision in building innovative and intuitive product experiences under real-world clinical conditions.

Your team works closely with Ambient Frontend Engineering, Ambient Labs, and Ambient Integrations teams to build the Ambient product end-to-end, enhancing provider experience by creating a better in-app experience and improving the quality of generated medical notes.

Your team’s work directly impacts provider trust, documentation quality, and time saved per visit. This role is ideal for a leader who has scaled complex, data-heavy, real-time products and who is excited about building innovative best-in-class AI products that transform the future of healthcare.

Seeking an engineering leader who can join us in the office at least 3 days a week.

  • Drive engineering excellence initiatives including on-call, incident management, and reliability

  • Stay close enough to the code and architecture to unblock complex problems when needed
