Company mission
To improve the quality of life of our members and physicians by reducing doctor-insurer friction and increasing visibility into the health of each patient, leading to improved care.
Role
Who you are
- You are excited by big, complicated problems and try to solve them with pragmatic, well-engineered solutions. You have a natural intellectual curiosity that drives you to find out how things work and if they can work better
- You enjoy working in a fluid, collaborative environment, defining and owning priorities that adapt to our larger goals. You can bring clarity to ambiguity while remaining open-minded to new information that might change your mind
- You are not hesitant to jump in to help fix things that are broken and you feel great responsibility to make sustainable systems. You are happy to fill in the gaps to reach a goal where necessary, even if it does not always fit your job description
- You have a genuine interest in what good technology can do to help people and have a positive attitude about tackling hard problems in an important industry
- You have experience with functional or imperative programming languages -- e.g., Python, Ruby, Go, C, or Java
- You approach building and maintaining systems with maturity and rigor
- You are able to work in different technical systems and concerns
- You have both built and refactored complex (often distributed) systems
What the job involves
- We are looking for a senior software engineer who is well-versed in full stack engineering
- You will work closely with other engineers, data scientists, healthcare professionals, and product managers, building tools to improve the health of real people
- Commit to simplifying the complexities of healthcare by building systems that multiply human efforts
- Learn about new tools and technologies to solve problems and move our goals forward
- Help the team define and maintain development practices that let us iterate quickly while maintaining quality — including writing tests and documenting key implementations
- Work with Product Managers and operational staff to conceptualize new features
Our take
Clover Health is a medical insurance company operating as a Preferred Provider Orgaization for Medicare Advantage, the Medicare plan for elderly American citizens. It aims to reduce the doctor-insurer friction to increase visibility into the health of patients.
Through its approach, Clover's physicians are able to focus on people, rather than paperwork. It has a patient-centered analytics and dedicated care management team, and thus is able to rapidly identify potential healthcare risks to provide preventative care. This helps to provide a more sophisticated level of care than existing providers, even if its market share is relatively slim compared to competitors like UnitedHealthcare and Humana.
Over the years it has performed well in a rapidly growing market, but in 2021 ran into issues with profitability in the market due to inefficient costings, an issue it is steadily nipping in the bud in 2023. However, the number of elderly Americans has doubled over the past 25 years, and the market is expected to do the same between now and 2025. This upward trend brings hope of revitalising the growth and strong financial performance Clover has seen in recent years, especially as it focuses more on profitability through 2023.
