When a patient is discharged from a hospital, a team of employees hired by the hospital will turn doctor notes, procedures, and activities into medical codes which are sent to the insurance companies for payment. For the hospital, this can be a highly volatile staffing problem. For the medical coder, they are spending their days in a cubicle, working fixed hours, getting paid hourly regardless of how many charts they can work.

We saw the same inefficiencies, bottlenecks, wasted time, and money occurring time and again. We are seeking to change that model and offer coders, hospitals, and physicians a better alternative.

Our KODE on-demand product will allow certified medical coders to code from the convenience of their homes, picking the hours that they want, and getting paid as early as the next day.  Our platform strives to reward medical coders by offering flexibility in both how they work and how they are compensated.

We have already launched.  We have over a thousand users that have signed up to begin charting through KODE.

We understand as a team what it means to build a product in smart and sustainable ways.

We have a team of in-house coders that are coding medical charts the traditional way, so we understand both the art and science of the problems we are trying to solve as we build out our Kode on-demand software product.

You will not be sitting in endless meetings or wasting time with corporate bureaucracy.  This is a small team, working efficiently, trusting each other, building amazing products, and having a great time along the way.

This is a remote and asynchronous position, but still collaborative. We’ll be working together on GitHub and Slack and some virtual discussions in Zoom.

You’re fun to work with. You are open-minded with a positive attitude. You assume the best intentions.

English might not be your first language, but you are very fluent in it. You would be comfortable writing documentation or discussing a new feature with the team.

You’re a good communicator. You enjoy writing or drawing out your thought process.

You feel comfortable working both collaboratively and independently.

You enjoy understanding the spirit of a problem and can approach solving it in a non-prescriptive way, offering suggestions and understanding tradeoffs.

You are comfortable with external integrations.  We are integrating with external providers that often will require research and digging.

We use Rails views and for the front-end behavior, we are using Stimulus with some Turbo.  Styling is all Tailwind.  Background processing is done via Sidekiq.

We are hosted on Heroku which keeps DevOps at a minimum.
