Software Engineer, Developer Experience & Tooling

The Role

Are you passionate about empowering engineers to do their best work? Do you thrive on building tools & systems that streamline engineering workflows and amplify productivity? If so, read on!

Candid Health is hiring an experienced Software Engineer to focus specifically on Developer Experience, unlocking velocity for our developer workflows and acting as a force multiplier for our entire engineering organization.

In this role, you'll work hand-in-hand with incredibly capable engineers and operators who are intent on tackling some of the hardest and most meaningful problems in the US healthcare system. In close partnership with our product engineering teams, you will architect and build the tooling, libraries, and infrastructure that power all of the work we do, with the end goal of unblocking our developers and enabling them to ship faster.

Our ideal candidate is technically adept (5+ years of relevant industry experience), who can drive ambitious improvements to the developer experience, motivated by improving the day to day experience and efficiency of their fellow engineers.

What You’ll Do

• Improve product efficiency and stability by writing shared Python libraries for use by multiple product engineering teams.
• Optimize our Python test environments and accelerate engineering velocity.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify the needs of the organization, design solutions that are optimized for performance & scalability, and empower our engineers.
• Deliver enhanced observability to our stack, helping developers solve problems in our cloud environments.
• Implement robust continuous integration / continuous deployment (CI / CD) pipelines ensuring efficient application delivery and reduced downtimes.

Who You Are

What we do

We’re fixing one of the most broken and costly pieces of the US healthcare system : medical billing.

Today, healthcare providers spend over $250B each year on administrative overhead just to get paid by insurance. Medical billing is expensive because it’s nuanced and hard - maybe ~100x harder than credit card payment processing - and because it’s traditionally done by armies of humans who track and manage complex rules and processes specific to individual insurance companies with little or no supporting software. We’re rethinking medical billing from the ground up, building software backed by best‑in‑class data science (and, soon, a dash of machine learning) to automate much of this complexity so healthcare providers can get paid dramatically more easily and inexpensively.

We were in the Y Combinator W20 batch and have since been well funded by a world‑class group of funds (8VC, First Round Capital, BoxGroup) + angel investors. We're now helping our customers treat opioid addiction, provide holistic care for women, lose weight, increase access to mental health care, and much more. This is such important and gratifying work; we can't wait for you to join our team and help support some of the most important innovation happening in healthcare today!

Our Values

We spend at least as much time with our coworkers as we do with our closest friends & family - if we intend to do the most important + challenging work of our lives, it’s important that these folks energize us, support us, inspire us, and push us to do our best work. This is what you can expect of your teammates at Candid (in no particular order) :
