Valova

Valova builds the AI operating platform for European hospitals, automating the administrative work that sits between clinical documentation and payment. Its stated ambition is the end-to-end workflow - case to payment ('Fall bis Geldeingang') - spanning documentation, case coding, billing, audit defense (Prüfungen) and planning. The operating model is explicitly agentic: AI agents handle the routine, humans handle the exceptions. For engineers working on agentic systems, this is a chance to build against a domain where correctness is audited, adversarially contested and directly tied to revenue.

The platform's coding and audit defense module codes every case and then defends it during inspections, with payment receipt as the closing objective. The company's measure of success is measurable effect from day one ('ab Tag eins messbar'), and the technical domains in play are correspondingly concrete: AI agents, healthcare AI, medical coding automation, workflow automation, and healthcare billing and claims processing. The work spans machine learning, information extraction from clinical records, and the reliability engineering required for systems that hospitals depend on.

Valova is present on site in two cities, Munich and Berlin, and targets the European hospital market. The team is interdisciplinary - physicians, engineers, strategy consultants and startup professionals - which matters for engineers who want domain depth alongside technical depth; the physicians in the room are the source of ground truth for the workflows being automated. The company's stated mission is to let doctors and nurses concentrate on patients, and it is open to applicants.
