praxipal builds an AI receptionist called Luna that automates patient communications and front-desk workflows for medical practices.
At praxipal, we are building an AI-powered healthcare admin workforce to address the global shortage of medical staff. Medical assistants are too valuable to spend their days chasing callbacks, cleaning up schedules, sending repetitive messages, or wrestling with invoicing and documentation workflows. Staff should spend time on patients. That’s why we build Luna. Our AI receptionist, Luna, answers and automates phone calls and she’s loved by hundreds of medical practitioners. Right now, we’re expanding her from calls to end-to-end patient communication across any channel. Over the next years, we’ll grow her into an AI worker that automates all administrative processes in medical practices, embedded directly into the systems practice teams already use. We’re backed by one of Europe’s leading investors and are one of the fastest growing healthtech startups in Germany. Our team has previously worked and studied at Palantir, Amazon, SAP, the University of Cambridge, and Hasso Plattner Institute. We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help us scale Luna from hundreds of medical practitioners to hundreds of thousands. THE ROLE This is a deeply technical, high-ownership engineering role. You'll design, build, and operate production systems end-to-end - from architecture through to deployment and beyond. We move fast and learn faster. One week you might be shipping a new AI agent capability; the next, you're re-architecting an integration layer or hardening our platform for the next order-of-magnitude growth. You'll always be working on whatever matters most for Luna's future. You'll ship to production daily, own outcomes from first commit to last alert, and raise the technical bar for the entire engineering organization. This role is on-site in Berlin.
