DESCRIPTION

About Us

After experiencing the challenge of identifying and connecting people in need with the right social services firsthand, the founding team quickly saw an opportunity to create technology that would address these needs systematically. In 2013, Healthify was founded on a resounding belief that there's more to health than health care and today, it's a leading software provider to health plans, hospitals, and provider networks working in low-income communities. Their platform empowers care teams to make quick and accurate decisions, putting community referrals just a click away.

Healthify HQ is located in Manhattan’s iconic Financial District, but we’re far from the typical Wall Street stereotype. We serve a diverse, nationwide population and naturally value building a diverse team. We’re an inclusive space for all identities committed to keeping that foundation intact as we grow. We believe in high standards beginning at the interview process and continuing as a valued member of the team. We expect the best from each other, give each other the benefit of the doubt, and encourage each other to take initiative to improve ourselves and the company.

Many members of our team are full or part time remote. We embrace the flexibility and decentralization of a remote-first work environment.

The Role & You

Healthify is looking for an exceptional backend engineer to join our growing engineering team. You will work across all product lines building impactful services for patient populations with social service needs. Our backend engineers spend their time discussing, testing, developing and deploying features for our products. Some of the problems that we tackle include building intuitive experiences for traditionally low-tech user groups, designing systems to ensure that our social service database is always relevant, and integrating with our healthcare IT systems.

All members of our engineering organization take ownership over the initiatives and product lines they are responsible for. While this often means working with code, it also might involve educating other developers on new technologies, ensuring that a initiative is tracking well to a deadline, or talking to users about how they might interact with our products.

Our engineering team values efficient, maintainable, tested and pragmatic code, processes and tools. While our primary goal is to fundamentally change how the social needs of individuals are identified and addressed, we are also in the unique position of having significant exposure to the enterprise healthcare IT industry. With this exposure, we hope to continue to modernize the delivery of software products within a traditionally high-process and high-inertia industry.
