Founding Engineer, 5th Employee

About Faliam

At Faliam, we are rebuilding the back-office for healthcare practices. While the healthcare industry has seen significant innovation, the administrative side remains dominated by manual work and fragmented point solutions. Our mission is to rebuild these back-office functions and automate this undifferentiated layer so healthcare professionals can focus on what they do best: providing exceptional patient care.

We are a tight-knit team with big ambitions, backed by an amazing group of investors, including founders and executives from Flexport, Uber, Opendoor, and Eventbrite, as well as institutional partners like Contrary Capital and A*. Our team comprises senior engineers from leading tech companies and industry veterans experienced in scaling early-stage startups and building B2B marketplaces.

Join us on our mission to transform healthcare back-office operations and empower practices to focus on what truly matters: their patients.
