By streamlining clinical documentation, Nabla empowers doctors to channel their energy where it matters most - patient care. Trusted by over 65,000 clinicians and implemented in more than 100 healthcare organizations, our AI assistant is making waves in the medical industry.

We are only at the start of an ambitious journey. With a bold vision to support 5 million practitioners worldwide, we've recently secured $30 million in Series B funding and are actively seeking exceptional talent to be part of our team.

This is a great time to join us!

The best of AI at the service of healthcare

Nabla’s phenomenal traction is the result of 3 years of diligent product development.

Led by former Meta AI Research engineers, our team has consistently anticipated how AI can revolutionize healthcare delivery. Our Machine Learning team continually leverages the latest advancements to unlock AI’s full potential in healthcare.

Yann LeCun, Meta’s Chief AI Scientist and Turing award winner, is an advisor to Nabla.

Life at Nabla

When you become a part of our company, you join a team of excellence-driven, curious, and genuinely kind individuals. Together, we're committed to making clinicians' lives easier and improving healthcare experiences for everyone. We believe in a world where clinicians can focus on what they were trained to do - caring for their patients, and where no patient feels their visit was rushed.

We come to work excited to leverage AI to do more for clinicians. We’re obsessed with our users’ satisfaction and we actively seek out opportunities to engage one-on-one with clinicians to understand how Nabla can better help. We consistently look for ways to improve and do not shy away from doing the work to excel. Whether it’s a feature our users asked for, or a new article for our blog, we prioritize collaboration to deliver exceptional outcomes.

We love having fun as much as we love work. Our #nablabla channel is as active as our #feature-show-off channel, we exercise during the work day at least 3 times a week (yoga, running, pilates, or HIIT, your choice!), enjoy regular off-sites to gather the team, and travel to see each other in places like NY, Paris, San Francisco, and many other vibrant cities. Oh, and we’re constantly snacking on chocolate or nuts!
