Role

Who you are

You come with 4+ years of hands-on SRE, DevX, or DevOps experience
Hands-on experience with our tech stack: Python, GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, Github, and Postgres. However, familiarity with parallel technologies like AWS is equally welcomed
You're comfortable writing code in Python and know your way around Python test environments
You're not just technically sound; you enjoy collaborating with other engineers and are motivated by delivering a product that makes their work easier and more effective
Continuous learning is your mantra. You stay up to date on the latest in the DevOps world and are eager to bring that knowledge on board
You're proactive, solution-driven, and always keen to optimize systems for performance, scalability, and security

What the job involves

Candid Health is seeking a new engineer for our DevOps team. In this role, you'll work with incredibly capable engineers and operators who are intent on tackling some of the hardest and most meaningful problems in the US healthcare system
You’ll be responsible for working with developers to architect, build and maintain tooling and infrastructure that powers all of the work we do
Our ideal candidate is technically adept (5+ years of relevant industry experience), who can drive ambitious improvements to the developer experience, motivated by improving the day to day experience and efficiency of their fellow engineers
Write and manage python libraries for use by many product engineering teams
Spearhead significant changes to our developer experience, creating and delivering tools using GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, Github, and Postgres
Implement robust continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines ensuring efficient application delivery and reduced downtimes
Optimize our Python test environments and accelerate engineering velocity
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify the needs of the organization, optimize performance, and empower our engineers
Deliver enhanced observability to our stack, helping developers solve problems in our cloud environments
Provide feedback and suggestions for improving DevOps processes and automating routine tasks

Our take

Healthcare spending in the US medical system has been ballooning for decades. Administration contributes a substantial portion to this, constituting almost three times what other developed countries spend proportionate to their healthcare budget - and taking up valuable physician hours. The detrimental impact this has on the quality and affordability of care has meant solutions are becoming urgent, and Candid Health is contributing a strong one.

The data and AI-driven platform helps healthcare providers automate the process of submitting, chasing, and appealing insurance claims. It’s regularly audited by HIPAA, helping the company dodge the tightening data protection net that’s stunted the progress of some medtech startups. Having passed this obstacle the company is running at modest capacity - the challenge now is to lock in a broader client base, which could prove challenging.

Companies like Change Heathcare and Flobotics, for example, offer automated claims submissions as part of a broader robotic process automation service for medical institutions. It may be that this holistic administrative software proves more attractive for overburdened providers. For now, however, Candid Health is gaining a respectable amount of traction and enjoyed a funding round of $29 million in 2024.
