Principal Software Engineer- Growth

Job Description

A bit more about this role:

The Growth team works across marketing, telesales, and sales operations to help enroll new members. We do lots of different things, from making internal operations more efficient to building out consumer shopping experiences. We get excited by sitting close to our partners, naming problems with them, and working towards better outcomes.

Our north star is not a specific technology, but rather the goal of continually increasing the leverage of every member of the team. We’re currently building with Go, PostgreSQL, gRPC, GraphQL, React, TypeScript, Terraform, and AWS, and we think it’s a pretty awesome stack. We use LLM coding tools when they help us. The rest of the business uses LLM-powered tools, too. It helps to understand what this technology does and doesn’t do well so we can maintain our commitment to treating members as family.

We want engineer-owners with the judgment to simultaneously solve for short and long-term business value. We’re looking for folks who have worked in complex domains and systems, and come through it with some wisdom but most importantly humility. We want people who are passionate about building great technology to solve problems for users—our members, our colleagues, and ourselves.

Whether you have a health care background or not, we are excited to learn from and share knowledge with you. Our engineering leadership team includes seasoned alumni of health care and technology organizations spanning the public and private sector. Our co-founders deeply understand and care about good technology: Todd Park co-founded Athenahealth, a multi-billion-dollar health care technology company, and served as CTO of the U.S.; Ed Park was Athenahealth's founding engineer and served as its CTO, COO, and President of Services.

Responsibilities and impact will include:

• ● Building product features across a range of technologies
• ● Working with subject matter experts to understand and design solutions to improve our members lives
• ● Working with other members of the technology team to improve our technology platform
• Required skills and experience: ● Ability to work in a startup, fast paced environment
• ● 5+ years working as an individual technical contributor
• ● Experience with our specific stack components a bonus but not required
• Desired skills and experience: ● Experience coupled with a willingness to learn new things
• ● Comfort with uncertainty and a desire to be close to business problems
• ● Desire to contribute individually, with the ability both to self-direct work and to collaborate with others on the technology team
• ● Understanding of many technologies down to first principles, and a desire to add more to the list
