Responsibilies
  • Build and maintain services that power 270/271 benefit estimate requests and responses.
  • Develop and support performant, large-scale claims adjudication integrations.
  • Own and improve claims processing pipelines for accuracy, reliability, and throughput.
  • Write and maintain documentation for API contracts, data flows, and integration specifications.
  • Write performant queries and manage data across PostgreSQL, Redis, and BigQuery.
  • Collaborate with product and other engineering teams to translate complex healthcare workflows into reliable backend services.
  • Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and incident response.
  • Contribute to the on-call rotation for production systems.

Requirements
  • 4+ years building, owning, and maintaining backend services
  • 2+ years writing Go
  • Strong SQL skills, particularly PostgreSQL
  • Experience with Redis and BigQuery (or similar analytical databases)
  • Experience designing and building RESTful or gRPC APIs
  • Experience with thorough testing strategies
  • Docker/Kubernetes
  • Google Cloud Platform

Preferred Qualifications
  • gRPC/Protobuf experience
  • Health insurance or claims processing experience
  • Experience with 270/271 transactions or healthcare EDI
  • Terraform/Terraform Cloud
  • Python proficiency
  • Incident management and response experience
  • Start-up experience

Characteristics
  • Self-directed and comfortable owning a domain end-to-end
  • Mission-driven — motivated by making healthcare simpler and more transparent
  • Willing to ask questions and admit what you don't know
  • Detail-oriented — claims processing demands precision, and you hold yourself to that standard

Internal Tools/Technology
  • Cursor / Linear / GitHub / Notion / Whimsical
  • Slack / Google Workspace / Zoom
  • Incident.io / Sentry
  • Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini — we are an AI-forward engineering team
  • macOS / Linux
