Harbera is AI software that automates back-office, revenue cycle management for healthcare clinic groups, starting with credentialing and contracting.
We’re founded by two Harvard ‘22 CS grads: Sophia Clark and Veronica Nutting. At Harvard, they were blockmates in Mather and taught CS50 (Veronica was Head CA in 2018!). Before Harbera, they were engineers at Stripe, Bridgewater, Meta, and VC-backed healthcare startups like House Rx.
Harbera is backed by Y Combinator and top-tier investors. We’re revenue-generating and serve over 850 clinics across 42 states. We work in-person from our Tribeca office in NYC and travel regularly to conferences and customers across the country. We get lunch together every day, work hard, and have a lot of fun while we’re at it.
More about what we do and why:
Credentialing today is a maze: it involves 900+ insurance companies, each with different and constantly changing requirements, handled through PDFs, faxes, online portals, and email. Credentialing and contracting are the backbone of revenue cycle management for organizations of all sizes, from hospitals to standalone clinics. When a provider falls out-of-network unexpectedly, it can disrupt patient care and cost the organization hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue. We’re rebuilding the workflow with AI agents that handle the busywork end-to-end.
More about the internship:
Over 10 weeks, you’ll work directly with the two founders on real product engineering and customer operations. You’ll use AI everyday, both for operations and engineering work (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex). You’ll talk to customers and have a real impact shaping the early days of a fast-growing startup. And there’s potential for a full-time offer at the end of the summer.
In a typical week, you’ll work across:
- AI engineering: Build AI agents and LLM-powered workflows that automate credentialing tasks — form-filling across payer portals, document extraction, status tracking, and follow-ups.
- Customer collaboration: Run product demos, help onboard new customers, and join meetings with healthcare providers and partners to gather feedback and understand their pain points.
- Data operations: Structure and organize essential datasets so they’re ready for data migrations and workflow automation.
- Product support: Work with the founders to design and test tools that integrate into healthcare operations, turning what you learn from customers into shipped features.
- Project execution: Plan, track, and deliver projects that move credentialing operations forward — for our customers and for Harbera. Misc. projects might include setting up user surveys, building lead lists, designing onboarding materials and refreshing the website.
Desired Skills:
- Comfort building with LLMs — you’ve worked with agents, function/tool calling, or evals, and have some sense of what it takes to make a model reliably do a real task
- Solid SQL fundamentals – comfortable reading and contributing to a database
- High agency — you don’t wait to be told what to do, and you’re willing to do the unglamorous work
- Good communicator – friendly, helpful, and empathetic, with clear verbal and written communication
- Attention to detail – you are organized and meticulous, and you can catch the small things that matter
- Curiosity about healthcare, highly-regulated industries, and/or AI workflow automation
Our tech stack: TypeScript monorepo with an Express/Supabase backend and a React + Vite frontend.
What you’ll enjoy:
- Lunch every day, on us. We eat together as a team, we laugh, catch up and decompress.
- Direct mentorship from the founders and a front-row seat to a fast-growing startup. You’ll see all the details about how a venture-backed startup actually runs from product to sales to ops. If that’s a path you’re interested in down the line, we’ll support you.
- The best AI tools available. Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and whatever else makes you faster — we’ll cover it.
- Real ownership. You’ll ship features that go live to 850+ clinics, run demos with real customers, and see the impact of your work the same week.
- A team that has fun working together. Tribeca office, in-person, work hard but have fun doing it. We’ll do fun activities throughout the summer as we hit milestones!
- Compensation. Competitive intern pay, and a path to a full-time offer at the end of the summer.
We’ll move fast and can make a decision within two weeks after an initial interview. The process is a call with each founder and a technical interview.
