Tennr is hiring: Product Design, Design Systems Operations in New York

Tennr, New York, NY, United States


About Tennr:

Today, when a doctor refers a patient to a specialist, they send that referral via fax. (Yes, in 2024, 90% of provider-provider communication is a 1980s fax). Naturally, a doctor wants their patient to receive quality care as quickly as possible - but messy documentation, lengthy clinical reviews, and a constant back and forth over fax slows everything down. And the document work isn't just data entry. It's fine-tooth reasoning over dozens of pages of clinical information at a level of complexity that has largely stumped existing automation systems (and tired humans).

Tennr built an automations platform centered around our suite of document-reading models (like RaeLLM™, a 7B model trained on 3M+ medical documents) to help your doctor ensure nothing is missed and help schedule your appointment so you can get better, faster.

Tennr is a NYC-based tech company that launched out of Y-Combinator and is backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Andreesen Horowitz, Foundation Capital, The New Normal Fund, and other top investors.

About the role:

For as large of a sector as it is (17.3% of US GDP), healthcare has some of the ugliest software I've ever seen. It makes sense... high regulation, little incentive... but what if it didn't have to be that way?

Even though we are building automations, Tennr will always be a daily use tool for some set of users. And anyone who uses software daily in 2024 deserves an incredible experience.

Part of our company mission to bring healthcare into the information age means completely redefining the design standards for all the healthtech companies that follow.

So who uses Tennr on a daily basis?
  • Tennr Buyers use Tennr to track patient progress, pull analytics reports, and adjust the performance of their automations.
  • Backoffice Admins use Tennr to review work flagged by the model as low confidence.
  • Referring Providers use Tennr to submit missing information to requesting providers
  • Implementers use Tennr to build, test, and manage automations.
  • Our CSMs (Customer Success Managers) use Tennr to assist customers with any automation-related issues.
  • ... and we anticipate sometime in the near future for patients and others to use Tennr.
