This is a fully remote role within the United States.
We're looking for a driven Senior Software Engineer to join our team and help eliminate the financial complexity of healthcare. We're currently hiring across five engineering teams and will work with you to figure out the best fit based on your skills and interests. We value autonomous contributors who can handle complex technical challenges while collaborating effectively across teams.
We have a small, growing, and highly-capable development team. As a Senior Engineer, you should be comfortable working independently on complex assignments with minimal guidance. As you would be working for a fast-growing start-up, your role would be wide-ranging.

Responsibilities:
Design and build robust, scalable applications using Python, Django, and modern frontend web technologies
Work autonomously on complex assignments requiring specialist contribution and cross-team collaboration
Execute and adapt established processes to achieve technical objectives with minimal guidance
Write effective, scalable, testable code across full-stack applications (Python/Django, PostgreSQL, JavaScript/Vue)
Facilitate technical conversations and proactively communicate status and impact to avoid blockers
Support and guide teammates in understanding technical concepts and established processes
Iterate quickly with an eye towards value
What you'll bring to the role:
5-7+ years work experience in Python, or strong experience in another programming language with some Python exposure
Expertise in at least one popular Python web framework (preferably Django) or similar web framework in another language
Strong understanding of SQL and how to efficiently use databases to solve complex problems
Solid experience with JavaScript, and one or more modern JS frameworks like Vue or React
Experience working with APIs, data pipelines, and complex system architectures
Ability to work effectively with minimal guidance on complex, non-routine problems
Strong written and verbal communication skills with ability to explain technical concepts clearly
Proven ability to facilitate conversations, listen actively, and work effectively in remote environments
Entrepreneurial mindset: you can problem solve independently while collaborating effectively across teams
Bachelor's degree, or equivalent experience/knowledge. We are happy to work with strong candidates with non-traditional educational backgrounds
Nice to haves:
Healthcare domain experience or understanding of healthcare data and pricing models
AI/ML experience, particularly with emerging patterns like RAG and Agentic Workflows
Experience with data analysis tools like Pandas, NumPy, or similar for large dataset analysis
DevOps experience with deployment pipelines, infrastructure as code, or monitoring systems
Experience working on open-source projects
