Sr. Software Engineer (Developer Experience)

The Role

Cedar is a patient payment and engagement platform that elevates the total patient experience beyond clinical care. The platform leverages data science and technology to deliver modern intelligence to providers and simplify the healthcare experience for patients.

We are looking for a Platform Engineer with a passion for testing and developer experience to join our small but highly efficient team. The first problem you will solve as an engineer on this team is targeted testing. We use a monorepo to store our code and currently our CI pipelines test our code too broadly. We want you to implement a tool that will determine which tests need to run based on the affected code. Improving this part of our CI system will make an impact by enabling us to provide quicker, more accurate feedback to developers and it will help us save on CI infrastructure costs.

Over the long term we want you to develop and implement a testing strategy for Cedar that provides developers with fast, meaningful feedback and allows Cedar to ship new products with a high degree of confidence that they are reliable and bug-free. Other problems you will work on to support this goal could include migrating our CI system to use Github Actions, improving test isolation, improving test targeting in CI, developing a strategy to promote better test coverage, and more.

The Platform pillar is tasked with building, delivering, and maintaining the technology platforms that Cedar builds its business on. Our Application Platform team is responsible for building tools and processes that support the software delivery lifecycle at Cedar. The three core areas of focus for our team are Developer Experience, Release, and Reliability. Our goal is to provide Cedar’s engineers with a best in class developer experience that enables them to quickly and efficiently ship features that are well tested and reliable in production.

In this position you will:

• Develop a testing strategy for Cedar that simultaneously improves the developer experience and product reliability
• Own and improve Cedar’s Continuous Integration pipelines
• Promote and evangelize best practices related to testing and developer experience
• Write Design Docs to propose technical solutions for DevEx problems
• Work with software architects to improve testability of Cedar
• Mentor junior engineers
• Work with product engineers to develop a deep understanding of the problems they are facing
• Take a leadership role in multiple simultaneous high-impact projects
• Communicate clearly in verbal and written forms, from peer training to technical documentation and project proposals
• Help us grow the company, culture, and our products

What we look for in an ideal candidate:

• 5-7 years of Software Engineering experience
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines
• Expertise with AWS
• Experience with Python
• Preferred experience with Jenkins
• Preferred experience with Github
• Familiarity with containers and their use in local development and testing
• Excellent communication skills
• Strong opinions on testing strategy

Compensation Range and Benefits:

• Salary/Hourly Rate Range*: $195,500 - $230,000
• This role is equity eligible
• This role offers a competitive benefits and wellness package

*Subject to location, experience, and education
