Role
Who you are
- Our ideal candidate is technically adept (5+ years of relevant industry experience), with the ability to independently drive ambitious technical outcomes while also potentially growing into a technical and/or people leadership role
- You come with 4+ years of hands-on SRE, Infrastructure, or DevOps experience
- Hands-on experience with our tech stack: GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, Github, and Postgres. However, familiarity with parallel technologies like AWS is equally welcomed
- You're not just technically sound; you possess leadership traits and see yourself growing into a managerial role in the future
- Continuous learning is your mantra. You stay up to date on the latest in the DevOps world and are eager to bring that knowledge on board
- Collaboration is second nature to you. Working closely with developers, QA, and other stakeholders to ensure smooth and reliable deployments is something you excel at
- You're proactive, solution-driven, and always keen to optimize systems for performance, scalability, and security
What the job involves
- Candid Health is seeking our team's first full-time DevOps Engineer
- In this role, you'll work with incredibly capable engineers and operators who are intent on tackling some of the hardest and most meaningful problems in the US healthcare system
- You'll be responsible for working with others on our team to architect, build and maintain the core technical infrastructure that powers all of the work we do
- Spearhead our infrastructure's design, deployment, and maintenance using GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, Github, and Postgres
- Implement robust continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines ensuring efficient application delivery and reduced downtimes
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify infrastructure needs, optimize performance, and ensure system scalability
- Constantly monitor and enhance infrastructure security, ensuring compliance with industry best practices
- Provide feedback and suggestions for improving DevOps processes and automating routine tasks
Our take
Healthcare spending in the US medical system has been ballooning for decades. Administration contributes a substantial portion to this, constituting almost three times what other developed countries spend proportionate to their healthcare budget - and taking up valuable physician hours. The detrimental impact this has on the quality and affordability of care has meant solutions are becoming urgent, and Candid Health is contributing a strong one.
The data and AI-driven platform helps healthcare providers automate the process of submitting, chasing, and appealing insurance claims. It’s regularly audited by HIPAA, helping the company dodge the tightening data protection net that’s stunted the progress of some medtech startups. Having passed this obstacle the company is running at modest capacity - the challenge now is to lock in a broader client base, which could prove challenging.
Companies like Change Heathcare and Flobotics, for example, offer automated claims submissions as part of a broader robotic process automation service for medical institutions. It may be that this holistic administrative software proves more attractive for overburdened providers. For now, however, Candid Health is gaining a respectable amount of traction.
