About the Role

We're hiring two Senior Software Engineers to join our Member Experience engineering team - the team that builds the products our members use every day to find care, understand their benefits, submit claims, and manage their health plans.

This is a high-impact individual contributor role where you'll own the full product experience, from the APIs that power our platform to the interfaces our members interact with. You'll work directly with product and design to ship features that make healthcare more accessible, and you'll use AI tools as a core part of how you build. If you move fast, care deeply about craft, and want your work to matter, this is the role for you.

What You'll Do

Build and ship full-stack features end-to-end across our member-facing web applications

Work primarily in TypeScript - it's our language of choice across the stack

Ship confidently through our GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines and deploy web applications on Vercel, owning your changes from pull request to production

Design scalable systems and make deliberate architectural tradeoffs between performance, maintainability, and speed to ship

Build AI-powered member experiences - integrating LLM APIs and working with agent harnesses and frameworks (e.g., Eve, Strands) where they add real value

Write clean, well-tested, production-grade code with a high bar for quality

Partner with product, design, and stakeholders across the business to translate requirements into great software

Contribute to engineering standards through code reviews, technical discussion, and better defaults

What You'll Bring

5+ years of professional software engineering experience with full-stack ownership of production systems

Deep TypeScript expertise, with strong React and Next.js experience building modern, responsive web applications

Comfort owning deployments end-to-end - experience with platforms like Vercel and CI/CD pipelines like GitHub Actions

Habitual, fluent use of AI tools (Claude, Cursor, etc.) as part of your daily workflow

Experience building with LLMs - API integrations, agentic workflows, or frameworks/harnesses such as Eve or Strands - or a strong drive to get there quickly

Solid fundamentals in system design, testing, debugging, and code review

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience

Nice to Have (Not Required)

React Native experience for our mobile surfaces

Familiarity with Java - we have some legacy Java services you may occasionally touch, but no Java expertise is needed for this role

Experience with AWS

What You'll Get

Competitive salary, bonus opportunity, and equity package

Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits

A 401k retirement plan

Paid vacation and company holidays

Opportunity to make an impact at a rapidly growing mission-driven company transforming healthcare in the U.S.

In taking a market-based approach to compensation, base pay may vary depending on location. Additionally, base pay may vary considerably depending on job-related skills and experience. The current expected salary range for this position is: $160,000 - $175,000.
