Italic - Senior Software Engineer, Health Data & Interoperability

• TEFCA, the federal framework for nationwide health data exchange, went live in late 2023 and now connects more than 10,000 organizations. For the first time, a single patient authorization can reach records across most of the US health system. The rules for that access took effect in August 2026, and only a handful of companies have built on them. The teams that do will shape how clinical data moves in the US for the next decade.In parallel, AI assistants now fill out healthcare forms and book care for patients, typing in unverified data with no record of what the patient approved. A mistake as small as a mistyped birth date can fail an insurance check or split a patient’s history, so a clinician prescribes a drug that dangerously interacts with one the patient already takes. Assistants need a verified record and the patient’s permission for each action. Italic is building that layer for every provider and agent a patient uses.Why join now • You'll build the system that pulls a patient's records from thousands of hospitals, clinics, and labs through one authorization, then turns duplicated, inconsistently coded data into a single record our partners can trust. • You’ll design how AI agents read clinical data and act for patients, with access the patient approves and can revoke. • You'll own security from day one, since every record is PHI and every access is patient-authorized. • We're fully funded, and your work reaches real patients within months of joining. • As our second engineer and a core member of the founding team, you'll have the scope, equity, and agency that come with it. • The team • Kyle Michelson, Founder & CEO.
