The Role
As we continue to rapidly grow, we are in need of a Staff Engineer to join the Pre-Visit Pillar of Engineering. The Pre-Visit Pillar is responsible for building out the Pre-Visit product as it becomes an established new line of business for Cedar. Building with the Pre-Visit team as a Staff Engineer involves the following opportunities:
- Driving new technology adoption for the rest of Cedar through greenfield development in the newest part of Cedar's stack.
- Collaborating with multiple teams of hardworking engineers, product managers, product designers, and data scientists, sharing ideas cross-functionally about the vision for the Pre-Visit product.
- Leading the development of multiple high-impact projects at once as a key code contributor and domain expert, delegating work, and taking ownership of outcomes.
- Mentoring engineers at a variety of levels. Be a role model and trusted advisor for passionate and driven team members.
- Owning high impact architecture changes and projects spanning multiple teams as a technical leader.
- Driving org-level changes to improve existing processes, infrastructure, architecture, business problems, developer happiness, etc. Think broadly about opportunities to level-up the engineering org.
Cedar's pre-visit product is in the beta phase of development, so our team regularly engages deeply with our clients and rapidly iterates on product and technical ideas, while still maintaining ownership of the overall vision for the product. We're seeking people who are excited about innovation in healthcare, have solid technical skills, and are comfortable working with ambiguity!
Cedar is committed to a flexible work environment, so this as well as many of our roles are remote friendly.
What we look for in a candidate:
- 8+ years of software development experience
- Experience leading sophisticated engineering projects across teams
- Strong computer science fundamentals - a degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, or similar experience
- Experience mentoring engineers across levels
- Experience owning a business-critical application, standing up sophisticated systems that have multiple external integration points and customizable multi stage workflows, and building for supportability and long-term maintenance
- Ability to help the team ship by guiding teammates through making practical tradeoffs in high stakes situations, and jumping in to help get through a prod blocker
- Deep knowledge of Python internals
- Ability to debug complex issues involving subtle interactions between multiple systems and libraries
- Ability to explain complex technical concepts simply
Preferred qualifications:
- Deep knowledge of Django internals.
- Experience with Javascript or TypeScript and a modern JS framework (React, Next, Angular, etc...)
- Experience influencing cross-functional decision making across product and design teams.
What do we offer to the ideal candidate?
- A chance to improve the U.S. healthcare system at a high-growth company! Our leading healthcare financial platform is scaling rapidly, helping millions of patients per year
- Flexibility to work from home or in the office, depending on what works best for you
- Unlimited PTO for vacation, sick and mental health days-we encourage everyone to take at least 20 days of vacation per year to ensure dedicated time to spend with loved ones, explore, rest and recharge
- 16 weeks paid parental leave with health benefits for all parents, plus flexible re-entry schedules for returning to work
- Diversity initiatives that encourage Cedarians to bring their whole selves to work, including three employee resource groups: be@cedar (for BIPOC-identifying Cedarians and their allies), Pridecones (for LGBTQIA+ Cedarians and their allies) and Cedar Women+ (for female-identifying Cedarians)
- Competitive pay, equity (for qualifying roles) and health benefits that start on your first day
- 401k plan with 3% employer non-election contribution
- Access to hands-on mentorship, employee and management coaching, and a stipend for learning and development resources to help you grow both professionally and personally
