Mission that matters

Our product sits inside real-time clinical care. Every workflow you improve gives a clinician time back and makes a patient's documentation safer and more complete.

Already at scale

You'll ship to a deployment spanning hundreds of VA sites and tens of thousands of clinicians, plus a growing commercial base — with impact backed by peer-reviewed research.

AI-native ways of working

We're a frontier AI lab for healthcare, and we work like one: AI tooling is part of how you prototype, analyze, and ship every day.

Growth and training

Onboarding on our product, clinical documentation workflows, and customer base; HIPAA and security/compliance training (plus VA/federal training where relevant); shadowing implementations and site visits; and direct mentorship from the CTO.

Knowtex is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse team that reflects the clinicians and patients we serve.
