Software Engineer

At Firefly Health, we believe that the current healthcare system is broken. That’s why we are building a revolutionary new type of comprehensive health "care and coverage" solution, powered by a relationship-driven care team, a trusted virtual and in-person clinical network, and our proprietary technology platform.

Founded by experienced clinicians and technology leaders, Firefly Health is on a mission to deliver half-priced health care that's twice as good, clinically and emotionally. We are flipping the script on what it means to be a health plan and actually providing a true health benefit to members.

We are intensely focused on optimizing the physical + mental + financial wellbeing of those who want (and deserve) something better than the status quo. If you are ready to roll up your sleeves and take on our audacious mission, then we would love to hear from you.

Your Role

We are looking for “startup-ready” software engineers to join our core engineering team, which works side-by-side with our clinical and product teams to change the experience of healthcare.

We’re building mobile and web experiences that transform how thousands of patients receive care every day, a clinical intelligence platform that proactively prioritizes patients in need of care, and the underlying infrastructure to scale to millions of patients across the country.

Our tech stack includes React, React Native, Typescript, Python, Django, Postgres, Docker, Aptible, and AWS. We think it’s a great modern foundation for tackling the problems we need to solve.

Whether you have a healthcare background or not, if you are passionate about building technology to empower patients and their care teams, we would love to hear from you!

You will:

• Partner with (and literally sit next to) our clinical and product teams to design and build technology that powers intelligent, personalized care
• Build beautiful mobile and web applications that make world-class care accessible and engaging for our patients
• Work on automation-powered care management and clinical intelligence platform used by our doctors and care teams to deliver quality care
• Own projects from ideation to release
• Contribute to technical architecture and best practices across the team
• Help recruit highly capable engineers to the team from diverse backgrounds

You'll be a good fit if:

• You resonate with our mission: providing better healthcare for our patients
• You love learning and unstructured problem-solving
• You enjoy and take ownership in designing, building, and shipping features end-to-end
• You have 4+ years or equivalent experience writing production code across the stack
• You strive to build collaborative engineering cultures through thoughtful code review, documentation, mentorship, and teamwork

It’d be nice if you have:

• Experience with the technologies in our stack
• Experience working with healthcare data and/or APIs

We are always looking for valuable talent to add to our growing team. Even if you’re not sure this role is the one for you, don’t let that stop you. We’d love to have a conversation to see where you could fit.

Our office is located in Watertown, MA, but we’ve developed a robust remote working structure to give us more flexibility geographically while hiring.

Firefly is an equal opportunity employer. We value diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We're committed to building and sustaining an inclusive workplace culture where individuals are treated with dignity and respect. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit, and business need.
