About The Position

Verse Medical is building software infrastructure to improve coordination of home healthcare. As a Respiratory Therapist on the Respiratory Support Team, you will serve as the clinical backbone of Verse’s home respiratory program. You will help ensure that patients using CPAP, BiPAP, ventilation, or oxygen are set up correctly, monitored closely, and documented to payor requirements so they can receive safe, effective therapy without delay. The role provides clinical expertise and oversight across home respiratory therapies, including patient instruction, device setup verification, treatment monitoring, remote-data review, adherence tracking, medical-necessity documentation, and escalation of clinical concerns. You will also maintain clinical content in standard operating procedures, support high-acuity and life-sustaining equipment cases, liaise with vendors, and participate in rotating after-hours on-call coverage. This role is fully remote and open to candidates anywhere in the United States. Candidates in New York City may optionally work from the Chelsea office; onsite work is not expected. Compensation is $90,000–$105,000.
