Company mission
To empower us all to easily and affordably pursue the care we need.
Role
Who you are
- Experience: You have 2+ years of professional experience building and deploying full-stack production software
- Technical Skills: You're proficient in modern languages and frameworks such as React, Typescript, Python/Django or similar
- Problem-Solving: You are a proactive problem-solver with a demonstrated ability to independently tackle coding challenges
- Communication: You have strong written and verbal communication skills and can clearly articulate technical ideas
- Passion for our Mission: You are excited about making healthcare simpler, fairer, and more transparent for patients
- Growth Mindset: You are eager to learn across an array of topics and tools and want to grow into leading larger projects
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Software Engineer to join one of our core product teams
- In this role, you’ll work on a cross-functional squad (engineering, product, design, data science) to build full stack features that enhance the patient experience of managing healthcare finances
- This isn't just about writing code; it's about solving real-world challenges that have a direct impact on our users
- Build and enhance features: Design, develop, and deploy new full-stack features that improve patient affordability, transparency, and the overall payment journey
- Enhance core systems: Build, test, and maintain high-quality code, with an emphasis on readability, flexibility, testability, and long-term maintainability
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams: Partner with product managers, designers, and other engineers to translate requirements into technical specifications
- We have opportunities on the following teams. The specific problems you'll work on will be tailored to the team you join:
- Communications & Login Squad: This squad focuses on top of funnel engagement from initial communications through the login experience. Our goal is to create a personalized experience that minimizes friction for patients to engage with their healthcare bills
- Clarity Squad: This squad is responsible for the patient app experience after communication and before payment. We list their bills, information about line items and status, information about insurance, and offer options to get help. Our goal is to ensure that patients feel clear and confident on what bills they are paying for and what options they have
- Payment Workflows Squad: The squad builds and maintains the systems that power how patients pay for care. The team works on payment plans, discounts, autopay, multiple payment methods, scheduling, and checkout flows; core capabilities that make healthcare payments more flexible and reliable at scale
Our take
Over $1 billion is said to be lost annually by physicians as a result of inefficient and disjointed healthcare billing practices. The subsequently low patient satisfaction rates lead to poorer care, and real losses for providers who see patients switching away from their plans.
Cedar looks to remedy these issues with a selection of consumer-facing services which streamline billing, insurance and healthcare processes. Healthcare billing concerns a huge percentage of US adults, so optimizing patient satisfaction is of increasing concern - a great opportunity for the company.
After acquiring competing patient finance streamlining service OODA Health in 2021, Cedar netted substantial funds and launched its Payer Intelligence Layer. This allows it to integrate data from insurers and providers to create a single source of information. The company was also endorsed by the Montana Hospital Association's shared services division, to be listed as its only preferred patient financial engagement technology.
