Translucent AI provides an agentic AI platform that delivers real-time financial visibility and root-cause analysis for hospitals and health systems.
<h2><strong>Why Translucent</strong></h2> <p>Healthcare providers drive $2.5 trillion in medical expenditures annually — and operate on razor-thin 2–5% margins. Despite these stakes, the finance teams behind these organizations are buried in spreadsheets, manual data pulls, and disconnected systems, spending more time finding and cleaning data than actually using it to make decisions.</p> <p>Translucent is changing that. We're building the agentic AI platform designed exclusively for healthcare finance— giving every finance team, department, service line their own arsenal of AI Agents that run 24/7, understand their specific data, business logic, and workflows.</p> <p>Founded in 2024 and backed by GV, NEA, FPV, and Virtue, we've already been deployed by healthcare organizations managing over $5 billion in combined revenue. The product-market fit is real, the problem is massive, and we're just getting started. If you want to work at the intersection of AI and one of the most complex, consequential industries in the world — this is the place.</p> <h3>About the role</h3> <p>We’re hiring a Senior Platform Engineer focussed on supporting and enabling data and AI engineering in New York.
