What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior IT Support Engineer position at Athelas?
At Commure, we're building the AI Operating System for healthcare, the foundation that defines how care is delivered, documented, and financed. Our platform spans the full care journey: Ambient AI and Dictation eliminating documentation burden at the point of care, intelligent Agents automating patient and revenue workflows, and autonomous RCM processing billions in claims, all on a single AI-native platform integrated with 60 EHRs.
Healthcare carries a $1 trillion administrative burden and we're at the center of transforming it. Today, 500,000 clinicians across 500 healthcare organizations nationwide trust Commure to handle $25B in annual claims and support over 200 million patient interactions. Our latest $70M raise at a $7B valuation reflects the confidence the market has placed in this mission. We've also been named to the Fortune Future 50 list and the 2026 AI Breakthrough Awards for “Overall NLP Company of the Year.”
Our team works directly alongside clinicians, not through layers of process, which means the gap between what you build and its impact on patient care is immediate. We move fast, deploy daily, and take full ownership from early thinking to production. If you're energized by hard problems, high stakes, and a team that holds itself to a high bar, you'll find your people here.
The future of healthcare is being built right now. Come deliver this transformation.
About The Role
Commure is looking for a Senior IT Support Engineer to run our IT Support/Services function and ensure our employees have the tools, access, and support they need to do their best work. This is a senior individual contributor role with team leadership responsibilities — you'll be the most experienced person on the IT Services team, setting the technical and operational bar, mentoring more junior team members, and owning the strategic direction of support tooling and process as Commure scales.
You'll operate with a high degree of autonomy, partnering closely with the Sr. Director of IT and the Systems Design team, and will be trusted to make judgment calls on escalations, access, and process without heavy oversight. Over time, this role has a clear path toward formal people management as the team grows.
What You'll Do
Technical Leadership & Mentorship
Employees will act in accordance with the organization’s information security policies, to include but not limited to protecting assets from unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, destruction or interference nor execute particular security processes or activities. Employees will report to the information security office any confirmed or potential events or other risks to the organization. Employees will be required to attest to these requirements upon hire and on an annual basis.
Compensation Range: $80K - $100K
