Come revolutionize healthcare payments as a Founding Engineer at Opkit, a Y Combinator startup!

About Us & Vision

Opkit is an automated health insurance verification startup. Our software helps healthcare providers efficiently collect, verify and track their patients' insurance. If you've ever been confused about whether you are in-network w/ your doctor, or how much a doctor's visit is going to cost - that is what we are solving. Our vision is to become "Stripe for healthcare" - the default processor for all payments involving US health insurance.

Opkit was founded in June 2021 by Sherwood Callaway and Justin Ko, both early engineers from Brex, the $12b financial technology startup. We've raised $1M+ from leading investors (YC, A16Z, Greylock).
