About this role

Why Translucent

Healthcare providers drive $2.5 trillion in medical expenditures annually - and operate on razor-thin 2 - 5% margins. Despite these stakes, the finance teams behind these organizations are buried in spreadsheets, manual data pulls, and disconnected systems, spending more time finding and cleaning data than actually using it to make decisions.

Translucent is changing that. We're building the agentic AI platform designed exclusively for healthcare finance - giving every finance team, department, service line their own arsenal of AI Agents that run 24/7, understand their specific data, business logic, and workflows.

Founded in 2024 and backed by GV, NEA, FPV, and Virtue, we've already been deployed by healthcare organizations managing over $5 billion in combined revenue. The product-market fit is real, the problem is massive, and we're just getting started. If you want to work at the intersection of AI and one of the most complex, consequential industries in the world - this is the place.

About the role

We’re hiring a Senior Platform Engineer focussed on supporting and enabling data and AI engineering in New York. You will build and maintain the foundational platform technology that enables our data and agentic AI systems and that form our product.

This is a high-ownership role. You will work directly with a large group of product engineers in enabling our product teams to move fast.

What you'll do

  • Build and maintain well-tested applications in Python, Typescript and golang.
  • Build and maintain kubernetes (GKE) deployments and workloads with our preferred gitops approach. We use github, ArgoCD and Kargo.
  • Manage IaC on GCP.
  • Build, help deploy and optimize applications using MongoDB Atlas, PostgresQL and Spanner as backing state stores.
  • Document processes and work to optimize LLM-assisted coding workflows, including optimizing code review strategies.
  • Partner with product engineers to support rapid feature development.
  • Validate software is correct and secure.

About Translucent AI

Hospitals and clinics shouldn't have to choose between financial health and patient health. But today, they do. Healthcare finance teams are drowning in manual data work - pulling numbers from multiple systems, building spreadsheets, answering endless questions from operators. By the time they finish analyzing last month's performance, they're already behind on this month's decisions. The result? Finance leaders are forced to make difficult tradeoffs: cut services to stay solvent, or keep services running and risk financial instability. What We Do Translucent is healthcare's financial operating system. We automate the manual data work that consumes finance teams - connecting fragmented data sources, running analyses, and surfacing insights instantly. Instead of spending days building reports, finance teams can focus on what matters: moving the margin and making strategic decisions that improve both financial performance and patient care. Why It Matters When healthcare finance teams have the financial clarity they need, hospitals can maintain strong margins while delivering excellent patient care. No more forced tradeoffs between the two. We serve health systems and medical groups across the United States - from large multi-billion dollar organizations to small rural hospitals where every decision affects whether patients can access care locally. Our Team & Backing Translucent is backed by GV, NEA, FPV Ventures, Virtue, and Redesign Health. We're headquartered in New York City and bring together expertise in agentic AI, healthcare operations, and enterprise software.
