About Anomaly

Founded in 2020, Anomaly uses AI and healthcare transaction data to decode complex payer behavior and close the knowledge gap between providers and payers. Our AI engine, Smart Response, analyzes hundreds of millions of healthcare encounters in real time to detect shifting payer rules and denial patterns. By continuously adapting to payer logic, it helps providers predict denials, reverse revenue loss, and hold payers accountable.

Our Products and Stack

Anomaly builds a suite of machine learning and analytics products designed to uncover health insurance company payment patterns. Our products include:

• Detect - a web front-end product to surface newly discovered insurance payment patterns and behavior changes utilizing time-series analyses.

• Predict - high-throughput API for machine-learning-powered claim denial prediction with configuration and monitoring live in the web front-end.

• Recover - an analytics-driven product to prioritize denied accounts in order to assist our clients in denial recovery using algorithmic ranking and recommended actions that are fine-tuned towards high-dollar denial reversals.

Overview

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will build the tools that help healthcare providers stand their ground against insurance giants. We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to build the architecture, the APIs, and the integration logic that brings our product to life.

You will work on translating complex healthcare data and machine learning outputs into scalable, real-time systems that deliver clear, actionable insights to end users.

You will report directly to the CTO. This role is open to fully remote, US-based candidates, with occasional travel to our NYC headquarters.
