This is a unique hybrid role for a technical professional who sits at the intersection of healthcare data engineering and medical coding. You will map EHR data, write advanced SQL, and configure automated logic for complex surgical coding workflows. This is the role that takes a signed customer from source data to production coding output: mapping their clinical and billing data into the platform, configuring coding logic against their specialty mix and payer rules, running the side-by-side validation period where platform output is compared against the customer's own coders, and closing every gap that period surfaces.\n\nMap customer source data from EHR, scheduling, billing, and document repositories into the platform ingestion model, and define inbound and outbound interface requirements with the customer's IT and revenue cycle teams.\nWrite and validate SQL against customer extracts and platform databases to confirm data completeness, diagnose mapping defects, and build reconciliation queries that prove coverage.\nConfigure and implement coding logic for the customer's procedure catalog, specialty mix, modifier conventions, documentation patterns, and payer-specific requirements.\nRun the side-by-side validation period: produce daily comparison reporting between platform output and customer coder output, root-cause each discrepancy to data, rule, or model, and drive remediation to closure before go-live.\nOwn gap remediation through go-live and the stabilization window, escalating platform defects to the product engineering team with reproducible cases and supporting data.\nWork day-to-day in AWS and operate within customer-segregated environments.\nMaintain customer configuration, mapping definitions, and coding rules in Git, and submit changes through the standard branch and review process.\nRead Java-based rule and integration components well enough to trace behavior, and make small, well-scoped changes under Engineering review.\nServe as the customer's day-to-day technical point of contact through implementation, translating between clinical and revenue cycle stakeholders and Commence and partner engineers.\nContribute runbooks, reusable configuration patterns, and validation tooling that shorten the next implementation.\n\nQualifications\n\n3+ years implementing, configuring, or supporting healthcare software at provider organizations, or 3+ years in revenue cycle, HIM, or coding operations with hands-on system configuration responsibility.\nWorking knowledge of medical coding with direct exposure to surgical and procedural coding: CPT, ICD-10-CM and PCS, modifier application, NCCI edits, and operative note documentation.\nProficiency in SQL, including joins, aggregation, subqueries, and window functions, with the ability to independently investigate a data question end to end against large tables.\nWorking hands-on experience in AWS, including S3, RDS, EC2, CloudWatch, and IAM at a practitioner level.\nGit for version control: branching, pull requests, and participation in code review.\nAbility to read Java and make small, bounded changes to existing components. This is not a software development role and no full-stack development experience is required.\nDemonstrated pattern recognition: experience looking at a discrepancy report spanning hundreds of cases and identifying the systematic cause rather than resolving case by case.\nDetail orientation with evidence behind it, from a role where a single incorrect character carried financial, clinical, or compliance consequences.\nAbility to hold a technical conversation with engineers and a business conversation with clinical and revenue cycle leadership, adjusting register for each audience.\nBachelor's degree, or four additional years of relevant experience in place of a degree.\n\nDesired Qualifications\n\nAAPC or AHIMA credential: CPC, COC, CCS, or CIRCC, with surgical specialty experience.\nEpic or Cerner experience, particularly Epic Resolute Professional or Hospital Billing, OpTime, or Clarity and Caboodle reporting.\nExperience with healthcare data standards including HL7 v2, FHIR, and X12 837 and 835.\nPrior work with computer-assisted coding, autonomous coding, or NLP-based clinical documentation platforms.\nExperience running a parallel-run or side-by-side validation against a legacy process.\nPython for data analysis and validation scripting.\nAmbulatory surgery center or multi-specialty surgical group experience.\n\nWork Environment/Physical Demands\n\nThe work environment and physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job.
