About Codes Health
Were fixing one of the most broken and crucial parts of plaintiff litigation: getting complete, accurate medical records. Today, that takes 30 to 50 days of faxing, calling, and portal-chasing across thousands of providers, each running its own back office. We deliver records in ~12 days on average. To do this, were building an agentic layer that operates in this messy, real-world environment. Every retrieval teaches our system how to access another corner of American healthcare, building a provider data layer you cant scrape or buy and putting us at the most upstream point of a $20B+ market where everything downstream depends on us.
This problem extends far beyond the plaintiff legal space. Its also pervasive in healthcare, where our CEO Alvaro first encountered it while running a home health agency, as well as in disability services, life sciences/clinical trials, and the insurance industry. All of these verticals face this same challenge.
“Codes isnt just participating in the workflow; its capturing the moment where the most important data is created, positioning itself to expand from ingestion into orchestration and ultimately own the entire stack.” Amplify Partners, “Boring is Sexy”
Weve gone from $0 to a $3M+ run rate in a year and grown 2.5x quarter over quarter for four straight quarters. Weve raised $17M from Amplify, General Catalyst, Haystack, and Y Combinator. We serve 130+ law firms across plaintiff litigation and mass tort, including the largest plaintiff firm in the country.
The Work
Design is central to what we build. Our work is responsible for critical legal and medical workflows; the job is all about maximizing simplicity while minimizing loss of fidelity. Our customers do not care about the latest model update or extraction pipelines. They care about results: getting full information as quickly as possible. Youll be the one behind the curtain, modulating the experience between the two extremes.
Youll be our first designer, own design end to end, and ship fast with the founders. You are someone who likes to:
- Design across a large surface area with many different stakeholders. You will spend as much time on critical internal tools as you will customer facing product.
- Simplify extremely large contexts. Medical records are comprised of messy, conflicting, scanned, duplicative, and largely faxed information, ingested thousands of pages at a time.
- Design for scale. Customers run thousands of cases at once, so the product has to work just as well in aggregate as it does for individual cases.
- Layer in AI as a tool, not an outcome. Every workflow should be facilitated or automated with AI, and the user should barely realize that its there.
- Shape our design language and system from the ground up, within the context of our customers and industry.
Who were looking for
- Youve been the first or an early designer somewhere and want to own the function.
- Youre senior enough to run design solo and set your own direction.
- You make dense products feel simple, and your portfolio shows it.
- You notice the drop-off in a flow, dig into why, and bring us the project.
- Youre excited about AI-native product and how people work with it.
- You prototype fast, ideally in code.
- Youre primarily a product designer who can stretch into brand.
Non-negotiables
- Fully in person in Dumbo, Brooklyn.
- A portfolio.
Tools
- Built on shadcn and Tailwind. No design system yet, so youll build it. Figma or code, we dont mind how you get there.
