We are intensely focused on optimizing the physical + mental + financial wellbeing of those who want (and deserve) something better than the status quo. If you are ready to roll up your sleeves and take on our audacious mission, we would love to hear from you.

The Role

We are looking for a Lead Software Engineer who thrives in a high growth environment to join our core engineering team. This team works side-by-side with our clinical, operations, and product teams to change the experience of healthcare.

The engineering team’s goal is to create an integrated, intelligent platform that proactively manages healthcare at scale and makes high-quality benefits accessible and engaging for all. You’ll help power a platform that not only serves members, providers, and employers, but also leverages advanced technologies to drive efficiency and better outcomes.

Our tech stack includes React, React Native, Typescript, Python, Django, Postgres, Docker, and AWS. It’s a great modern foundation for tackling the challenges ahead of us.

You will:

• Partner with our clinical, operations, and product teams to design and build technology underlying our alternate health plan and care experiences
• Build beautiful mobile apps, web applications, and APIs that make high-quality health benefits and world class care accessible and engaging for members
• Develop and refine agentic workflows using machine learning models to power automation and intelligence across our platform - including care management, navigation and proactive interventions
• Integrate with third-party vendors and health tech innovations to expand our platform’s functionality, data sources, and member services
• Work on a member-facing platform and clinical intelligence platform used by our care teams to deliver efficient, quality care
• Own projects from ideation to release, influencing both product and technical decisions
• Contribute to technical architecture and best practices across the team
• Help recruit highly capable engineers to the team from diverse backgrounds

You’d be a good fit if:

• You have 8+ years of experience writing production code across the stack
• You resonate with our mission: to deliver clinical and financial health through joyful, always there, care
• You love learning and unstructured problem-solving
• You enjoy and take ownership in designing, building, and shipping features end-to-end
• You approach challenges with humility and resilience
• You strive to build collaborative engineering cultures through thoughtful code review, documentation, mentorship, and teamwork

Nice to haves:

• Experience with the specific technologies in our stack
• Experience working with machine learning models, agentic workflows, or automation in the healthcare space.
• Experience with the messiness of healthcare data and ETL work
