About this job

THE WORK Payers & Outcomes at Headway sits at the intersection of ML, clinical quality, and trust. You’re building the intelligent systems that protect the integrity of our network — spotting risk, surfacing quality signals, and giving providers real-time feedback so they can deliver great care. What you could work on: - Clinical Feedback: Architect the LLM-powered systems that review clinical documentation at scale and deliver helpful, real-time feedback to providers. Turn a traditionally painful audit process into a coaching experience — and scale it across the entire network. - Detecting Risk in Healthcare Claims: Design the ML/LLM systems that spot patterns of inappropriate billing, over-utilization, and low-quality care across millions of appointments and claims.

This is a short summary.
