Senior AI Engineer

About Us

Abacus Insights is transforming how data works for health plans. Our mission is simple: make healthcare data usable, so the people responsible for care and cost decisions can act faster, with confidence.  
We help health plans break down data silos to create a single, trusted data foundation. That foundation powers better decisions —so plans can improve outcomes, reduce waste, and deliver better experiences for members and providers alike.  

Backed by $100M from top investors, we’re tackling big challenges in an industry that’s ready for change.  Our platform enables GenAI use cases by delivering clean, connected, and reliable healthcare data that can support automation, prioritization, and decision workflows—and it’s why we are leading the way.

Our innovation begins with people. We are bold, curious, and collaborative—because the best ideas come from working together. Ready to make an impact? Join us and let's build the future together.
