What you’ll be part of

Garner is on a mission to transform the U.S. healthcare system — and we’re the only proven player doing exactly that. We partner with employers to redesign how healthcare works: applying 550+ proprietary clinical metrics across 80+ specialties to a dataset of 320M+ patients to identify the best-performing doctors, then using compelling incentives to steer members to the care that helps them get healthier, faster.

The result is a rare “win win” — better care and lower costs for both members and employers. In just five years, our work has helped over 2.5 million people access higher-quality care and saved $1B in healthcare costs. We recently raised our Series E and have doubled five years running. If you've ever wanted your work to solve a problem that touches every person in this country, this is the opportunity to do exactly that. You'd be joining a team fundamentally reimagining healthcare in the U.S. — and using AI to scale that impact further and faster than anyone else can.

About the role:

We are looking for an engineer who can walk into messy, cross-functional workflows and turn them into clean, automated systems that scale. This role focuses on identifying high-friction operational processes across the company and replacing them with durable, API-driven automation. You will work across IT, Security, Engineering, and Business teams to reduce manual work, improve reliability, and build systems that scale with the company.

This is not a ticket-driven IT role. You will operate with a high degree of ownership, driving initiatives end-to-end from problem discovery through implementation and rollout. You will be part of the Business Technology - Corporate Engineering team and report to the Director of Business Technology.

Where you will work:

This role will be based in our New York City office (in the Financial District). You must be willing to work in the office 3 days per week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. 

What you will do:
  • Identify and automate high-impact operational workflows across onboarding, offboarding, access management, and service delivery
  • Replace manual, fragmented processes with scalable, API-driven systems
  • Build and maintain integrations across HRIS, identity providers, SaaS platforms, and cloud environments
  • Develop internal tools and automation using platforms like Retool, Okta Workflows, and custom scripts or services
  • Apply infrastructure-as-code to manage and version system configurations
  • Incorporate AI into workflows to improve efficiency in areas like ticket routing, knowledge retrieval, and decision support
  • Design and automate access and security workflows that enforce least-privilege and auditability
  • Own and drive cross-functional initiatives end-to-end, from problem definition through implementation and rollout
The ideal candidate has:
  • 4–7+ years of experience in IT, platform engineering, automation, or similar roles
  • Strong scripting or programming ability in Python, Go, Node.js, PowerShell, or similar
  • Experience building API-driven automation across multiple systems
  • Ability to design and implement workflows that span multiple tools and teams
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code such as Terraform or similar
  • A desire to be a part of a high-performing, mission-driven team that operates with intense urgency, a strong sense of individual accountability, and a commitment to authentic feedback
What will make you stand out:
  • Hands-on experience with identity and access systems (Okta, SSO, SCIM, RBAC), including implementation and ongoing management
  • Proven ability to build and scale internal tools using platforms like Retool or other low-/no-code solutions
  • Familiarity with security automation and orchestration (e.g., Tines), with an eye toward reducing manual effort and risk
  • Practical experience leveraging AI/LLMs to streamline and enhance operational workflows
  • Strong understanding of compliance and security standards (HIPAA, SOC 2, HITRUST) and how they shape systems and processes
  • Focused on driving meaningful outcomes
  • Able to identify root-cause, system-level issues and design durable solutions rather than quick fixes
  • Comfortable navigating cross-functional environments with competing priorities and constraints
  • Operates with urgency while building scalable, maintainable solutions
  • Defaults to automation and efficiency wherever possible
Technologies we use: 
  • Okta, Okta Workflows, Retool, FreshService (ITSM), Google Workspace, Slack, Atlassian (Confluence and Jira), MDM platforms (Jamf Pro, Kandji/Iru, Intune), Airtable, AWS and GCP, Terraform, Rippling (HRIS), SOAR (Tines), and AI-enabled operational tooling (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI)

This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing company in a transformative role, helping shape the future of healthcare.
