To make quality healthcare understandable, accessible and affordable for all.
Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone who has demonstrated the ability to build, deploy, and maintain high-quality applications
- You understand and use automated testing and know how to write clean, readable code
- You are someone looking to push the boundaries of delivering convenient, simple, and personalized high-quality health benefits and care
- If you’re ready to help thousands of members navigate the healthcare system with fewer headaches and lower costs, let’s talk!
- 4+ years of professional full-stack engineering experience
- Strong skills in object-oriented design and modern programming practices
- Proficiency in Ruby on Rails and JavaScript/React (or strong interest and willingness to learn)
- Experience working in cloud environments (AWS) and with modern tooling (Docker, Elasticsearch, Postgres, Git, Linux)
- Excellent communicator who thrives in collaborative, fast-paced settings
- A systems thinker who enjoys tackling complex challenges in healthcare, fintech, or similarly regulated industries
- Bonus points if you have a background in healthtech, insurtech, or experience working with claims, eligibility, or healthcare data
What the job involves
- Sana is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our small but growing team
- In this role, you’ll directly influence how small businesses and their employees access affordable, high-quality care
- We work primarily in Ruby on Rails and JavaScript but are open to those with differing backgrounds. You should have a solid understanding of how to build software that goes beyond the ability to use these tools
- Build products that will help guide members through an evolving and complicated healthcare system
- Integrate data from claims, eligibility, and healthcare partners to deliver a seamless member experience
- Work on a team of talented product managers, designers, data scientists, and operations teams to solve problems together in a collaborative and creative environment
- Help maintain and extend internal products that accelerate growth, improve customer experience, and help keep our operations as efficient as possible
- Mentor and lead by sharing knowledge, setting best practices, and helping grow a culture of experimentation and innovation
- Participate in business problem solving and technical de-risking as appropriate as part of cross-functional teams
- Collaborate with product managers and stakeholders to identify high-leverage AI use cases
- Translate ambiguous problems into well-defined projects with measurable outcomes
Our take
Health insurance benefits are essential for employers to remain competitive. But it can be difficult for small businesses to offer high-quality benefits at a reasonable rate, and without paying for things they don't need. Sana Benefits provides self-financed health insurance benefit plans which allow small businesses to pick and choose the services that they offer.
The company aims to provide options that are more affordable to small businesses than the insurance giants of the US. For example, Sana touts partnerships with Meditech startups such as Beam for dental coverage and Calm for mental wellness, and has intelligently partnered with small medical businesses and insurance startups.
Following investment from some top names in insurtech, the company has pursued expansion into new states and is set to be an industry leader. The economic situation caused a round of layoffs early in 2023, but Sana Benefits has remained positive - stating that by "re-orienting", it will be able to deliver on its mission well into the future.
