Building the financial operating system for healthcare, and bringing the joy back to healthcare by fixing the financial chaos behind it.
The healthcare payment system is a complex and inefficient maze - healthcare practices leave $125 billion in revenue uncollected each year, lost in the chaos of fragmented financial data, manual workflows, and opaque payer systems. This financial uncertainty leaves practices struggling to stay afloat, while valuable revenue slips through the cracks.
Joyful Health is building the AI-powered financial operating system for healthcare practices. Our mission is to bring the joy back to running a private practice by simplifying financial operations so providers can focus on patient care. We spent 10 months working as fractional CFOs for a dozen practices, doing this work side by side with providers as we developed our product.
We just closed a funding round led by world-class investors and angels including the founders of MongoDB & KAYAK.
<aside> 🚀 We have an enormous opportunity in front of us. The broken healthcare payment ecosystem impacts practices of all sizes, and the opportunity to make a real difference is massive.
If you’re passionate about empowering medical practices and excited to tackle one of the most important (& challenging!) problems in healthcare, we’d love to meet you.

We’re hiring a founding DevOps engineer with deep experience across Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and production-grade reliability. You’ll own the foundation that powers everything we build—our deployment architecture, service mesh, observability stack, and core platform reliability.
Our platform ingests, reconciles, and analyzes large volumes of messy financial data from every type of healthcare system imaginable. Keeping that pipeline stable, secure, and scalable is mission-critical. In a landscape where every customer’s environment is different, highly repeatable infrastructure and robust automation are differentiators.
You’ll design, build, and operate the core infrastructure that allows us to ship fast, stay reliable, and onboard customers seamlessly. As one of the earliest engineers on the team, you’ll shape our architecture, engineering practices, and culture from day one.
This is a full-time role, based in NYC.
