• Experience building and maintaining GraphQL and/or REST APIs
• Experience scaling relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL) and writing performant queries
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally and be trusted as a technical partner by product, design, and other engineering teams, including navigating disagreement and bringing people along on a technical direction
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable driving alignment with stakeholders outside your immediate team
• Experience mentoring and effectively working with a distributed development team
• Experience leading and architecting large-scale projects as a technical thought leader
• Passion for building something to improve the lives of others

• Care Journey is the team responsible for designing and continuously improving a timely, inclusive, and intuitive adaptive care experience, one that guides each member to the right blend of preventative, scalable, and 1:1 support as their needs evolve, driving sustainable engagement and better outcomes for members and a predictable, cost-efficient care mix for our customers

• Engineer efficient and reusable systems that drive complex web and mobile applications
• Maintain HIPAA and GDPR compliance and general security through best practice implementation
• Independently write and execute technical plans (tech specs/RFCs) for large, ambiguous, cross-domain projects, negotiating scope with product along the way
• Lead ambiguous or large projects, working collaboratively with design, product, cross-functional partners, and other engineers to deliver a cohesive adaptive care experience
• Serve as the directly responsible individual from engineering on roadmap commitments, owning launch timelines, decomposing work, and coordinating dependencies across teams
• Write and maintain technical documentation, unit tests, and integration tests
• Be a thought leader in strategic engineering and tech initiatives, and contribute to cross-team engineering forums
• Lead and contribute to cross-team engineering forums and on cross-team engineering projects
• Mentor other engineers to scale your impact both on Care Journey and across the engineering department
• Provide compassionate and impactful reviews of technical project plans and code
• Participate in on-call, driving investigation, remediation, and process improvements from recurring issues
• Immigration sponsorship is not available for this position. Applicants must be able to maintain work authorization for the duration of employment without employer sponsorship or employer-provided training plans or attestations (including, for example, the Form I-983 required for STEM OPT)
