Staff Software Engineer - Insurance

- A platform thinker . You build for the teams behind you, not just the immediate use case. You create abstractions that let others move faster and more safely.

- Drawn to signal in messy data . Payer rules vary by state, plan, and policy. You find the structure in the noise and build systems that reason about it reliably.

- Hands-on. You write code where leverage is highest and hold yourself to the same bar you hold others.

- Own outcomes, not tasks . You've been handed ambiguous problems and turned them into shipped software. You know how to define the solution, pull in the right people across teams, and keep things moving when priorities shift.

- Communicate with precision . Whether it's a design doc, a Slack thread, or a cross-team meeting - you bring people along.
