What is a Software Engineer at Candid Health?
At Candid Health, a Software Engineer plays a crucial role in rebuilding the complex, often broken infrastructure of healthcare billing. The company's core mission is to make medical billing transparent, fast, and accurate for healthcare providers and patients alike. As an engineer here, you will not just be writing code; you will be designing and scaling the APIs, state machines, and integrations that handle millions of dollars in medical claims.
The engineering team works on highly complex problem spaces, such as automating insurance eligibility checks, managing intricate medical coding rules, and building robust pipelines that interface with legacy clearinghouses. The work requires a deep appreciation for data integrity, system reliability, and developer-friendly API design. Because the healthcare space is heavily regulated, security, compliance, and accuracy are paramount to every feature you ship.
This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in a fast-paced, high-ownership startup environment. You will have a direct impact on the product roadmap and collaborate closely with product managers, operations teams, and founders to solve real-world operational bottlenecks. The technical challenges are intellectually demanding, requiring you to model complex real-world workflows into clean, maintainable software.
