## About the role

We're looking for someone with the business and communication fundamentals to do this job well today, plus the eagerness to build the automation that makes it unnecessary tomorrow. This is not a data-engineering posting — a business background, a support/ops background, or a fresh grad with the right instincts can all be a great fit, provided the willingness to learn is real. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- You can communicate clearly and confidently with providers and internal stakeholders — you can pick up the phone, have a real conversation, and explain what's happening in plain terms, not just write it up
- You have (or can quickly build) a working understanding of the business and financial side of how claims and payments move — you're not purely a technical person who can't connect the dots to what the business needs
- You think carefully about correctness: your instinct is to ask “how would I know if this were wrong,” and then build the check
- You're comfortable in ambiguity, in an environment where the documentation is thin and the systems don't always agree with each other
- Hands-on SQL and/or Python experience, and real fluency with modern AI tools — including agentic coding tools like Claude Code — with something you've actually built with them to show for it
- A year or more of work experience — internship, part-time, or full-time — especially something that required real conversations with people (customers, providers, clients)
