Full Stack Engineer (Intern)

Abridge was founded in 2018 with the mission of powering deeper understanding in healthcare. Our AI-powered platform was purpose-built for medical conversations, improving clinical documentation efficiencies while enabling clinicians to focus on what matters most—their patients.

Our enterprise-grade technology transforms patient-clinician conversations into structured clinical notes in real-time, with deep EMR integrations. Powered by Linked Evidence and our purpose-built, auditable AI, we are the only company that maps AI-generated summaries to ground truth, helping providers quickly trust and verify the output. As pioneers in generative AI for healthcare, we are setting the industry standards for the responsible deployment of AI across health systems.

We are a growing team of practicing MDs, AI scientists, PhDs, creatives, technologists, and engineers working together to empower people and make care make more sense. We have offices located in the SoDo neighborhood of New York, the Mission District in San Francisco, and Lawrenceville in Pittsburgh.

The Role

We’re looking for Software Engineering Interns to join Abridge’s San Francisco Internship cohort for a 10-12 week program. In this role, you’ll collaborate with our experienced software engineering team to build and ship real-world product features using a modern web stack (primarily in Typescript). With mentorship and guidance, you’ll gain hands-on experience designing, coding, and releasing software that makes a meaningful impact to making clinicians’ lives easier.

What You'll Do

• Design and build end-to-end features, enhancing our existing systems to add new functionality.

• Fix user-facing bugs and issues and make quality-of-life improvements to the codebase.

• Develop a strong user-centric mindset, building empathy for Abridge’s clinicians and the challenges they face.

• Collaborate across our cross-functional product teams, working closely with design, product, machine learning, and infrastructure to ship features to our customers.

• Receive guidance from an experienced software engineering mentor as well as collaborate one-on-one with teammates within your pod.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience with Typescript, React, and Node.js or Next.js.

• Prior hands-on experience developing web applications (e.g., internship, co-op, or personal projects).

• A strong interest in pursuing a full-time software engineering role in 2026—high-performing interns are eligible to receive a return offer.

• A curious, adaptable, and proactive mindset, with a desire to learn and grow in a fast-paced startup environment.

• A willingness to pitch in wherever needed—we move fast, and we need team players who are eager to contribute.

Base Salary: $40 / hr

Must be willing to work from our San Francisco office at least 3x per week

This internship is based in our San Francisco office. To support relocation, Abridge will cover flights to and from San Francisco at the start and end of the program. Rent and living expenses will be factored into the internship salary package.

We value people who want to learn new things, and we know that great team members might not perfectly match a job description. If you’re interested in the role but aren’t sure whether or not you’re a good fit, we’d still like to hear from you.

Why work at Abridge?

At Abridge, we’re driven by our mission to bring understanding and follow-through to every medical conversation. Our culture is founded on doing things the “inverse” way in a legacy system—focusing on patients, instead of the system; focusing on outcomes, instead of billing; and focusing on the end-user experience, instead of a hospital administrator's mandate.

Abridgers are engineers, scientists, designers, and health policy experts from a diverse set of backgrounds—an experiment in alchemy that helps us transform an industry dominated by EHRs and enterprise into a consumer-driven experience, one recording at a time. We believe in strong ideas, loosely held, and place a high premium on a growth mindset. We push each other to grow and expose each other to the latest in our respective fields. Whether it’s holding a PhD-level deep dive into understanding fairness and underlying bias in machine learning models, debating the merits of a Scandinavian design philosophy in our UI/UX, or writing responses for Medicare rules to influence U.S. health policy, we prioritize sharing our findings across the team and helping each other be successful.

How we take care of Abridgers:

• Generous Time Off: 13 paid holidays, flexible PTO for salaried employees, and accrued time off for hourly employees.

• Comprehensive Health Plans: Medical, Dental, and Vision plans for all full-time employees. Abridge covers 100% of the premium for you and 75% for dependents. If you choose a HSA-eligible plan, Abridge also makes monthly contributions to your HSA. 

• Paid Parental Leave: 16 weeks paid parental leave for all full-time employees.

• 401k and Matching: Contribution matching to help invest in your future.

• Pre-tax Benefits: Access to Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Commuter Benefits.

• Learning and Development Budget: Yearly contributions for coaching, courses, workshops, conferences, and more.

• Sabbatical Leave: 30 days of paid Sabbatical Leave after 5 years of employment.

• Compensation and Equity: Competitive compensation and equity grants for full time employees.

• ... and much more!
