Ascertain

🎉 We're excited to announce our partnership with Cardiovascular Associates of America - CVAUSA to automate prior authorizations across the nation's largest cardiovascular network. CVAUSA's 460+ cardiologists and 290+ advanced practice providers serve more than 1.3 million patients annually across 100+ clinic locations in eight states. The administrative complexity of cardiac care, from advanced imaging to interventional procedures, creates one of the heaviest operational burdens in healthcare. We're working together to remove that friction. Ascertain automates the manual work, from data entry to documentation to payer communications, so clinical teams can spend their time on patients, not paperwork.

The holidays are a time to pause and reflect on what matters. To the nurses, care coordinators, and physicians spending this season caring for others. To the executives and IT leaders working to build healthcare systems that support their teams. To our customers and partners who inspire us every day. And to the Ascertain team, who pour their hearts into this mission. Thank you. We're grateful to be part of this work alongside you. Here's to a restful holiday season and an even brighter 2026. Happy Holidays!🎄

At Ascertain, we’re building agentic AI solutions that take the administrative burden off healthcare teams, saving hundreds of staff hours every week. Backed by Northwell Health and Deerfield Management, we’re restoring time, trust, and focus to the people who keep healthcare running. We’re looking for senior backend engineers in Brazil who want to work on technically challenging problems and see their work make a real-world impact. This is a high-ownership role for someone who loves designing robust systems, shaping engineering best practices, and working in a small, fast-moving team. You’ll work primarily in Python/FastAPI with opportunities to own features end-to-end across the stack. Why engineers in Brazil choose Ascertain: ›› True global remote team: Work fully remote with a U.S.-based company that values outcomes, not location. ›› Ownership from day one: Small team, real responsibility, and direct influence over architecture, infrastructure, and engineering culture. ›› Meaningful impact: Your work directly supports hospitals and care teams. ›› Strong technical growth: Modern stack, complex distributed systems, and exposure to regulated, high-reliability environments. ›› Competitive compensation + equity: Be part of a fast-growing company at an early stage. If you’re a backend engineer in Brazil who enjoys autonomy, solving hard problems, and building software that truly matters, we’d love to hear from you. https://lnkd.in/eWX5SRPe

Labor expenses per calendar day are up 5% year over year. Year-to-date costs are running 5% above 2023. And labor now accounts for nearly 60% of healthcare costs. This isn't a spike. It's structural. The question is no longer "should we automate?" It's "which workflows will deliver measurable ROI in months, not years?" The answer starts with the work that's burning out your clinical staff: prior authorizations, payer submissions, and the endless portal navigation that adds hours to every patient interaction. When we partnered with organizations like The Oncology Institute and Northwell Health, we saw 95% reductions in time per prior auth and 80% fewer clicks per submission. That's not a 3-year transformation, it's 90 days or less.

Big highlight this month: visiting the Ascertain team in New York and spending real time with the people I've been building great things with across time zones. We capped the day with a team cooking night, and it reminded me just how thoughtful, talented, and global this group really is. There's something grounding about working alongside people who care deeply about what we're building: technology that gives healthcare teams their time back so they can focus on patients, not paperwork. We're growing. We're hiring Brazil-based seasoned backend engineers (remote), especially folks who enjoy Python, and FastAPI and want to work on real problems in healthcare. If you want to build something that matters with a team that moves with purpose, let's talk. 🇧🇷 Abraços do Brasil #hiring #SoftwareEngineer #BackendDeveloper #Brasil

The healthcare labor crisis isn't a staffing problem. It's a workflow problem. Yes, we need more nurses, more care coordinators, more clinical staff. But we also need to stop asking those people to do work that machines should handle. The average prior authorization takes 12+ minutes of manual work: logging in, finding the patient, pulling clinical notes, filling forms, submitting, following up. Multiply that by hundreds of prior auths per week, and you've built an entire department around data entry. The health systems that figure this out will have a structural advantage. Not because they're paying less. But because they're getting more from the talented people they already have. The ones that don't? They'll keep hiring, keep losing staff to burnout, and keep wondering why the math never works. Work design isn't a nice-to-have. It's the entire strategy.

We're thrilled to welcome our new Director of Growth and Partnerships, Larissa Liburd, to the Ascertain team! 🎉 Larissa's story captures what drives our work: behind every delayed authorization is a physician working late, a patient waiting in uncertainty, and a system that should be better.

This is the kind of team we're building at Ascertain. Trust, generosity, and leaders who aren't afraid to be corrected on their orzo technique. We're hiring! Come join us: https://lnkd.in/ergp5c-h
