US healthcare spends well over $1 trillion a year on administration. We are building AI agents that take on that work from start to finish, across scheduling, referrals, eligibility, prior auth, revenue cycle, and more.
Our ambition is bigger than automating individual tasks. We want to build the operating layer that lets healthcare organizations run with dramatically less administrative overhead.
We are still early. Healthcare is only beginning to adopt AI for core operations. Join a small team from MIT, Harvard, and IIT building what we believe will become a fundamental part of how healthcare gets work done.
Our team came out of MIT research labs, quant funds, big tech, consulting, and early-stage companies. We keep the team small and the hiring bar high.
Meet the team →We don't hand off problems. We own them.
Everyone at Sakura is expected to understand the problem, make decisions, and drive work all the way to a real-world result. Scope matters less than impact.
Healthcare has waited long enough.
We move quickly, make decisions with incomplete information, and put working products in front of users early. Speed doesn't mean lowering the bar. It means shortening the path to learning.
The best answers aren't found in a conference room.
We listen to calls, watch workflows, talk directly to operators, and dig into the messy details of how healthcare actually works. Everyone is expected to understand the people and systems we're building for.
We care deeply about the quality of the work, not who gets credit.
We challenge each other directly, change our minds when the evidence changes, and expect exceptional work from ourselves and each other.
A demo working isn't the same as healthcare working.
Our agents have to operate across legacy systems, payer portals, phone trees, faxes, edge cases, and high-stakes workflows. We value reliability and craft as much as cleverness.
Medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents, with a substantial share covered.
Flexible PTO. Take the days you need. We do not track or ration them.
Meaningful equity in Sakura, so you share in the company you help build.
The laptop, monitor, and software you need. Ask for it and we get it.
We cover gym and fitness costs. A healthcare company should take care of its own people.
Lunch on us when we are in the San Mateo office, so you can stay and eat with the team.
