About Kollectiv.ai
We’re transforming front office operations for healthcare practices through AI-first automation. Think agentic AI that streamlines insurance verification, claim management, pre-authorization, denials management, coding and reviewing notes, and every mundane, repetitive task that bogs down practice staff. Our mission? Free up healthcare professionals to focus on what matters most: their patients.
Our founding team has built a couple of unicorns:
-
Andrey Akselrod - Founder/CTO at Smartling, Board Member/CTO at People.ai. Coffee & Kettlebells.
-
Sasha Rohachova - Founder at Inkhunter (YC S18), PM at Pinterest (Led AI/ML/CV/AR innovation lab). Competitive Free-diving.
We’re moving fast and need a founding engineer who thrives in early-stage chaos and loves shipping quickly. If you want to own technical decisions, build 0→1, and shape the future of AI in healthcare, this is your role.
