Role

Who you are

You have Bachelors of Science or Bachelors of Art in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Math or other similar degree
You have 3+ years of experience in a Software Engineering position
Experience with the technologies we currently use is a plus, but by no means required: Python, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, React, Typescript, Google Cloud Platform, Auth0, Terraform
You enjoy building high-quality software, but you also anchor on outcomes and have good intuition around which corners are worth cutting and which aren’t
You enjoy owning features end-to-end and are comfortable learning new tools or moving across the stack to do so
You have a customer-first and learner’s mindset, and value teaching others
You’re a clear and concise communicator; you enjoy the challenge of explaining complicated ideas in simple terms, both in-person and in writing

What the job involves

We’re looking for a passionate and skilled Software Engineer to join our fast growing engineering teams to revolutionize healthcare billing products and systems that directly address the needs of our customers.
You will contribute to the full software development lifecycle, ensure high scalable, reliable and performance of our products and customer experience.
If you thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, are driven by customer outcomes, and are committed to crafting robust and scalable solutions, we would like you to join us!
Write clean, well-documented, testable and maintainable code
Design, develop, and maintain complex features and develop ownership over large swaths of our products and systems
Collaborate closely with product managers, and other engineers to understand customers’ needs and develop creative ways to address them
Contribute to architecture and design of our systems with scalability and reliability as core principles
Play a part to shape our engineering culture and help make this the best place we’ve ever worked

Our take

Healthcare spending in the US medical system has been ballooning for decades. Administration contributes a substantial portion to this, constituting almost three times what other developed countries spend proportionate to their healthcare budget - and taking up valuable physician hours. The detrimental impact this has on the quality and affordability of care has meant solutions are becoming urgent, and Candid Health is contributing a strong one.

The data and AI-driven platform helps healthcare providers automate the process of submitting, chasing, and appealing insurance claims. It’s regularly audited by HIPAA, helping the company dodge the tightening data protection net that’s stunted the progress of some medtech startups. Having passed this obstacle the company is running at modest capacity - the challenge now is to lock in a broader client base, which could prove challenging.

Companies like Change Healthcare and Flobotics, for example, offer automated claims submissions as part of a broader robotic process automation service for medical institutions. It may be that this holistic administrative software proves more attractive for overburdened providers. For now, however, Candid Health is gaining a respectable amount of traction and enjoyed a funding round of $29 million in 2024.
