Our healthcare system is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the U.S. Every year, over 50 million Americans suffer adverse financial consequences as a result of seeking care, from lower credit scores to garnished wages. The challenge is only getting worse, as high deductible health plans are the fastest growing plan design in the U.S.
Cedar’s mission is to leverage data science, smart product design and personalization to make healthcare more affordable and accessible. Today, healthcare providers still engage with its consumers in a “one-size-fits-all” approach; and Cedar is excited to leverage consumer best practices to deliver a superior experience.
The Role:
The New Verticals squad is a dynamic group operating like a startup within a startup, focused on expanding Cedar’s product into verticals beyond traditional healthcare.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping innovative solutions that improve the experience for millions of patients and fundamentally rethink how hundreds of billions of healthcare dollars are spent. You’ll work alongside a small, experienced team of leaders who have built and scaled unicorn products to develop new solutions for healthcare payments. You’ll thrive in an environment with rapid iteration where you can directly impact outcomes.
If you love fast-paced development, direct interaction with customers, and learning how to launch new products and businesses, then this is the role for you!
Cedar is committed to a flexible work environment, so this as well as many of our roles are remote friendly.
