What the job involves
- U.S. healthcare is frustrating and deeply flawed
- Cedar’s mission is to drive better outcomes for everyone involved, including providers, insurance companies and the people they serve
- At a time when consumer-friendly healthcare experiences are more critical than ever, our platform is uniquely equipped to solve problems that lead to billing issues and administrative waste
- At Cedar, know that your work will have a meaningful impact on people’s lives
- Building these experiences requires solving transformative problems of scale, safety and efficiency; and Cedar’s Platform Engineering organization is tasked with building the foundations that the rest of the organization relies on to ship high-quality software continuously
- We are looking for an experienced Senior Engineer on the Production Infrastructure team to join our team and work with our already highly experienced team of cloud infrastructure and application engineers
- This highly skilled individual contributor will contribute to reactive ticketing work and will design and build on application and cloud infrastructure requests within our engineering facing internal operations team including:
- You have experience executing on large technical projects with a strong ownership mentality, focused on delivering value
- Have experience building software in organizations of all sizes and have documented it to be used by internal and external teams
- You are able to identify trends and areas of opportunity to improve our operational processes and are able to communicate them to leadership as potential project areas
- You have strong team values and are able to contribute if you see issues occurring or teammates struggling
- Have a strong customer service attitude and be able to communicate clearly in verbal and written forms so that our internal customers can understand and use our infrastructure

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 this long-time problem set with a selection of consumer-facing services which streamline billing, insurance, and healthcare processes.
Companies like Cedar are in high demand, and serve a promisingly large and hungry market. Future healthcare billing concerns a huge percentage of US adults, and optimizing patient satisfaction is of increasing concern in a competitive sector for healthcare providers. Like other companies with a tech-forward focus, Cedar has been able to capitalize on an industry increasingly expanding towards digital healthcare solutions.
After acquiring competing patient finance streamlining service OODA Health in 2021, Cedar has gone on to capture even more success. The company has netted substantial funds on top of the launch of its Payer Intelligence Layer, which allows it to integrate data from insurers and providers to create a single source of information. It was also endorsed by the Montana Hospital Association's shared services division MHA Ventures (MHAV), to be listed as its only preferred patient financial engagement technology, all boding well for its performance into the future.
