About Us

Here at Ambience, we never set out to be just another scribe. We’re building the AI intelligence platform that restores humanity to healthcare and drives meaningful ROI for health systems across the country.

Our technology helps providers focus on delivering great care by removing the administrative burden that pulls them away from patients and away from their most impactful work. Ambience delivers real-time coding-aware documentation and clinical workflow support across ambulatory, emergency and inpatient settings at the top health systems in North America.

Our teams operate relentlessly with extreme ownership to build the best solutions for our health system partners. We value candor, positivity and deep thought — and we expect a lot from each other because we know the problems we’re solving truly matter.

Ambience was ranked #1 for Improving the Clinician Experience in the KLAS Research Emerging Solutions Top 20 Report, recognized by Fast Company as one of the Next Big Things in Tech, named one of the best AI companies in healthcare by Inc., and selected as a LinkedIn Top Startup in 2024 and 2025. We’re backed by Oak HC/FT, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), OpenAI Startup Fund, and Kleiner Perkins — and we’re just getting started.

The Role

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Product team, you will design and build the features that healthcare providers interact with every single day as they care for patients. As an OpenAI portfolio company, you will be surrounded by the leading minds in AI and exposed to the latest advancements in our field.

In the first 6 months, you'll take ownership of meaningful product initiatives end-to-end — from shaping the experience with our product and design partners to shipping high-quality code that reaches clinicians in production. You'll be a key voice in how we build, ensuring we move fast without sacrificing the reliability and craftsmanship our users depend on.

Our engineering roles are hybrid — working onsite at our San Francisco office three days per week.

What You’ll Do

Design and architect major product features leveraging the latest advancements in AI to deliver a magical user experience

Anticipate system bottlenecks and proactively re-architect key system components before they create issues for our customers

Lead product initiatives with high strategic value, accelerating speed of iteration while preventing accumulation of technical debt

Hold the codebase to a high standard, and assist in developing engineering processes that encourage shipping high quality code

Who You Are

You have 5+ years experience tackling challenging zero-to-one software engineering problems that have spanned multiple teams

You have a strong product instinct — you think about the end user experience, not just the technical implementation

You're comfortable moving across the stack to take projects to the finish line, with solid experience in modern web technologies and cloud infrastructure (e.g. AWS/GCP, Postgres, Docker)

You have a demonstrated ability to own execution from inception through to successful outcomes

You are a low-ego team player who prioritizes co-discovering the best ideas, even if they're not your own
