About Brighterway
Brighterway builds AI-native claims software and administration for casualty claims. We started in workers' compensation medical-legal review, where our agentic document pipeline sorts, de-duplicates and summarizes some of the most document-heavy files in the industry for national medical-evaluation networks. We are now building the claims platform on top of that foundation: intake across mail, fax, phone and email, bill review, subrogation, reserving signals, a workflow language, and state and federal reporting.
We are backed by Y Combinator and Maverick Ventures. Our customers handle protected health information every day, so we run HIPAA, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 programs. The team is small and technical and sits close to customers. Everyone ships, and everyone talks to the people who use what they ship.
The role
Our product is only as good as our ability to read a 3,000-page medical file and come out with the right chronology, the right duplicates removed, and the right facts surfaced. You will push the frontier of that capability: agentic document splitting and sorting, long-context summarization, duplicate and near-duplicate detection, OCR on hostile scans, and evaluation methods that tell us when quality drifts before customers do.

Design and run experiments on LLM-based pipelines for classification, extraction, summarization and reasoning over medical and legal documents.
-
