  • Engage with Cedar clients as a technical leader. Understand needs, guide technical discussions, and train other engineers to work with clients
  • Help engineering and the broader Cedar organization grow. Streamline process, build tools, and identify growth opportunities to help Cedarians on other teams.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 5+years of professional software development experience
  • Experience building sophisticated web applications

  • Python expertise

  • A chance to join a high-growth company at an early stage
  • The ability to impact the growth of our company, we value all comments and suggestions
  • Transparency across teams and interaction with multiple departments
  • Competitive pay, employer-paid healthcare, stock options

There is an indescribable feeling when you find out you share a similar background and experiences with another co-worker. You feel like you can be your true self a little more.
Harry Morgenstern
Implementations Director, Sales
SOLUTIONS ORIENTED
Solving complex problems cross-functionally
Each day is different for Harry Morgenstern. One recent cross-functional project connected him to Cedar’s product, engineering and design teams to quickly deploy features to support a client. “The ‘all hands on deck’ approach is not new for Cedarians, but it was invigorating to know I can count on my teammates, even when it’s not their direct responsibility to step in,” Morgenstern said. According to Morgenstern, especially in his role, that solutions-oriented approach is key. “Each healthcare organization we partner with presents new challenges that Cedar can help solve.”
