About the role
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience to join a high-velocity engineering team building the platform that is remaking how healthcare providers get paid. You'll own large surface areas of product and infrastructure end-to-end – designing, shipping, and scaling complex services that directly eliminate manual work in a $280B broken industry. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at fast-growing startups, has strong CS fundamentals, and can write production code without leaning on AI tools. You should bring a track record of upward trajectory, deep technical problem-solving, and comfort working across the full stack.
What you will be doing
-
Designing, building, and maintaining complex services and platform features across the full stack – Python, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, and GCP
-
Owning features end-to-end, from architecture and design through deployment and production reliability
-
Identifying and leading scalability and infrastructure improvements as the platform grows rapidly with enterprise customers
-
Collaborating closely with product managers, designers, and cross-functional partners to translate customer needs into robust technical solutions
-
Contributing to engineering culture and helping raise the bar – participating in live coding interviews, mentoring teammates, and shaping how the team builds
About Candid Health
Candid Health is remaking the health insurance claims process with a transformative RCM (Revenue Cycle Management) automation platform custom-built for medical providers to end unnecessary human intervention. The company sits between provider groups and insurance companies to facilitate clean payments for everyday insurance claims — addressing a $280 billion per year industry that is fundamentally broken.
Founded in 2019, Candid Health started within the digital health space and has built a significant footprint supporting digital health providers on their insurance payments, serving as the back-end billing engine for them. The company has since expanded into the traditional healthcare market, with its primary growth story now oriented around enterprise ambulatory providers.
Mission & Culture
Candid's mission is to address the administrative burden of healthcare by automating the claims process and eliminating manual intervention. The company is product and engineering-led, deeply customer-driven, and operates with a builder's mindset — working with beta customers to build features, then deploying them broadly to expand their market.
The culture is defined by four core values they screen every candidate against: outcome orientation, introspection, grit and hustle, and intellect. Candid has more than 2.5x'd revenue, team size, and headcount every year, creating an environment of rapid growth and high expectations. They lean toward hiring from high-growth startups (Series A through E) and value people who can quantify their impact and move at pace.
Candid operates on a 4-day in-office schedule across their hub cities, with flexibility for employees with families. They are currently in a foundational stage of building out their go-to-market engine, having historically grown through founder-led organic sales — making it an exciting time to join as they invest heavily in marketing, sales, and commercial functions for the first time.
