Join Our Team

We are a series B funded company in the pharmacy benefits space. Every year, half of a trillion dollars flow through pharmacy benefit managers, with more than 90% of that money running through systems designed in the late 80s running Cobol. These archaic systems prevent our competitors from providing innovative healthcare programs or saving their clients money. At SmithRx, we're building a modern pharmacy benefit manager from the bottom up to change this.

We are looking for an Sr. DevSecOps Engineer who has hands-on experience building and managing a cloud-based infrastructure.  Additionally, this engineer will be responsible for development cycles in integration/continuous deployment mode, process monitoring, and more broadly, constructing a “safety culture” within the SmithRx’s DevSecOps practice.  Our user base is currently doubling monthly, and you would share the responsibility of orchestrating a reliable, sustainable, and scalable infrastructure.
