About Us

Protego builds AI-powered tools to prevent and overturn denied medical insurance claims. 

Protego’s mission is to ensure patients and providers aren’t stuck paying for care that should be covered by insurance. Our founder started Protego in 2023, inspired by his brother’s experience with unfair denials over eight surgeries for Ulcerative Colitis that left him with $1 million in bills. 

There are $750 billion in annually denied medical claims in the U.S. While health insurance companies utilize algorithms and system edits to deny claims (Lawsuits: Cigna, Humana & United), physician practices rely on labor to reclaim this revenue. While over half of denied claims are reversible, nearly two-thirds go uncontested due to limited resources and the high cost of appeals - sometimes up to 100 times more than issuing the denial

Our platform leverages AI to ingest and cross reference claims, clinical data, payment criteria (coding guidelines and individual payer policies), and historical cases. By synthesizing this information, we can flag preventable denials in real-time and generate claim-specific appeals post-denial.

We secured pre-seed funding in early 2024 and seed funding in late 2025, and have successfully partnered with multiple healthcare providers to help recover denied claims using our proprietary technology. We're experiencing a period of rapid growth, and are in need of a senior developer to help us address the needs of our expanding customer base.

We’re seeking a DevOps, Release Management, and Integration Engineer to support our healthcare SaaS platform. About half the role focuses on DevOps, with the rest on client integrations and managing product releases. You’ll work across engineering and customer teams to ensure smooth deployments, stable environments, and reliable delivery.

Responsibilities:

• Maintain and improve AWS infrastructure (EKS, S3, RDS) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Oversee release cycles, versioning, and deployment workflows.
• Integrate our product with client systems and support technical onboarding.
• Troubleshoot infra, deployment, and integration issues across environments.

Requirements:

• 3+ years in DevOps with AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), GitHub Actions, CI/CD.
• Experience with production-grade cloud environments.
• Ability to work directly with customers on technical integrations.
• Excellent communication skills in English, written and verbal.

Advantages:

• Background in healthcare, compliance, SaaS, or B2B integrations.
