Anterior — Job Pipeline Surface

Forgejo bucket: marcus/job-anterior. Maintained as part of Scott's Staff+ SWE job-pipeline. Surface only — no public posts, no outreach sent, until sscoble approves.

1. Why Anterior

Anterior's "Healthcare Intelligence Cloud" automates prior authorization and clinical decisioning for health plans — a non-rollback dark-factory decision where a wrong prior-auth denial is a healthcare outcome that's hard to undo. The system's decisions must be correct by construction with auditable reasoning, which is exactly Speckl's thesis in a different domain. The Speckl × Anterior demo (clinical dosing provenance compile) demonstrates compile-time provenance for clinical decisioning, directly mapping Scott's B.Well regulated-platform experience to Anterior's product surface.

Full JD body

Verbatim JD text should be pasted here from the Anterior careers page at outreach time. The v3 shortlist captured the company context and role expectations; the full JD body will be fetched from https://www.anterior.com before outreach is approved.

Key verified product context from v3 research:

• "Healthcare Intelligence Cloud" — AI-driven prior authorization and clinical decision automation for health plans.
• Series A, $40M raised Sep 2025, total $64M (verified live announcement banner: "Anterior brings total funding to $64M to accelerate health plan AI adoption").
• ~50–100 people.
• Clinical decisioning is a non-rollback dark-factory decision: a wrong prior-auth denial is a healthcare outcome that's hard to undo. The system's decisions must be correct by construction with auditable reasoning — exactly Speckl's thesis.
• HIPAA-regulated — same regulatory weight B.Well operated under.
• Courageous product bet: replace a $1B+ status-quo prior-auth process with a software-first clinical-decision platform.
• Open roles: actively hiring engineers; platform / SRE / infra roles expected as the $40M round deploys. Re-verify at outreach time.

3. Public surface

Hiring manager (highest confidence)

• Name: Mohammad Mian
• Title: CEO / Co-founder
• GH handle: (to be verified)
• LinkedIn: (to be verified)
• Email domain: anterior.com (not directly verified in this pass)
• Signals: Co-founder; publicly known from press but not directly verified in this research pass. Flag for verification.
• Confidence: medium (founder identity publicly known; direct verification pending)

Adjacent public figures (good reply targets before DM)

• Ashwin Sreenivas — CTO / co-founder — technical leadership for the clinical decisioning platform — GitHub/LinkedIn to be verified

Highest-value reads (3-5)

• Anterior homepage — "Healthcare Intelligence Cloud" product framing
• Anterior funding announcement (Sep 2025) — "Anterior brings total funding to $64M to accelerate health plan AI adoption" — growth trajectory
• Prior authorization workflow documentation — the regulatory dark-factory surface
• HIPAA compliance framework for AI clinical decisioning — the regulatory constraint Scott's B.Well work maps to

4. Artifact plan

Premise

The Speckl × Anterior demo is a clinical dosing provenance compile that demonstrates compile-time provenance for clinical decisioning. The artifact proves Scott can build the regulated-platform provenance layer that Anterior's clinical decisioning product needs — directly mapping his B.Well + findhelp regulated-platform experience.

Repo layout

marcus/job-anterior/
├── README.md
└── (references https://github.com/wscoble/speckl-clinical-dosing)

Artifact URL

https://github.com/wscoble/speckl-clinical-dosing

This is the Speckl × Anterior demo. Build path is git clone + cd speckl-clinical-dosing. Expected deliverable is a working 4-artifact compile output.

What it demonstrates

• Intent-level provenance compiled through Speckl for clinical dosing decisions
• Content-addressed, reproducible clinical decisioning artifacts
• HIPAA-grade audit trail compiled by construction, not verified after the fact
• A working compile output a hiring manager can clone, build, and verify
• Direct mapping of Scott's B.Well regulated-platform experience to Anterior's product surface

Effort estimate

<50 hours (demo already built; README + packaging for external consumption is the remaining work)

Sketch

# Build path
git clone https://github.com/wscoble/speckl-clinical-dosing
cd speckl-clinical-dosing
# Expected: 4-artifact compile output (Speckl provenance manifests)
