Penguin Ai was founded by healthcare veterans who knew the system needed more than hype and half-baked algorithms. We built an AI platform that actually works in healthcare - across Prior Auth, HCC Coding, and all those soul-crushing workflows no one brags about. This is AI for the real world of healthcare. And just to put a fine point on it: powerhouses like Snowflake and AWS don't just partner with anyone. Our audacious vision was first ignited by our CEO Fawad Butt , whose leadership as Chief Data Officer at both Optum and Kaiser Permanente gave him oversight of healthcare data representing nearly 75% of American lives . Fawad understood that healthcare AI couldn't be a bandage – it had to be a purpose-built, battle-ready solution , meticulously crafted for the intricate, human-first world of medicine, not some hastily retrofitted industry software.

A dream team boasting over 150 years of combined, hard-won healthcare experience! We're talking about heavy hitters like Kishore, Mark, Peter and Terry… who all bring different successes & expertise from AI & healthcare. they're the architects and masterminds behind a platform that doesn't just process data – it genuinely understands healthcare's pulse.

This isn’t some futuristic sci-fi movie set, this is AI for the real, gritty, essential world of healthcare where speed & data matter.

About the Role: Your Epic Quest as Our UM Policy Review Nurse!

You are the clinical source of truth for how Penguin Ai turns health plan UM and medical policy text into structured, machine‑readable logic.

Your judgment is the gateway between narrative policy and production logic.

Surface clinical nuance : Identify comorbidities, contraindications, sequencing, timing windows, documentation thresholds, edge cases, ambiguous language, and latent assumptions the AI may miss

Approve, edit, or reject : Take definitive clinical positions in PolicyVault™ and related tooling; Track updates to client policies, InterQual/MCG, CMS NCDs/LCDs, and specialty guidelines; Raise the clinical bar : Build playbooks, validation standards, and onboarding materials for future policy reviewers

Independently validating AI-generated policy decompositions across multiple domains with consistent judgement and clearly documented rationale
