By automating complex, manual healthcare processes-like benefit verification and prior authorization-we've been growing rapidly and over the past couple of years have helped over 2.5 million patients!\nWe’re partnering with some of the largest pharmacy benefit managers and payers in the nation, revolutionizing how healthcare interactions occur by eliminating human delays and inefficiencies. Our small, elite team of founders and engineers have previously launched and exited successful healthcare startups including Rupa Health and Canvas Medical. We are now scaling rapidly following a major funding round.\nAbout The Role\nWe're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to build the software that removes the obstacles between a prescription and treatment.\nThis is a hands-on, full-stack role spanning problem definition, implementation, launch, and production validation. You'll build Python services and APIs, TypeScript and React interfaces, integrations, and AI-powered workflows, working directly with our Product, AI, and Operations teams and the people who use what you build.\nAI is part of how we work. You'll use coding agents to investigate systems and accelerate implementation while retaining ownership of the product behavior, technical decisions, testing, and production outcome.\nWhat You'll Do - Impact In Your First 3-6 Months\nWork with users and internal stakeholders to define a meaningful problem, the smallest useful solution, and observable success signals.\n\nShip full-stack product features across backend services, user interfaces, data models, integrations, and workflow infrastructure.\n\nIntegrate AI capabilities where they improve the workflow, with the reliability and fallbacks required for production healthcare software.\n\nMake pragmatic product and technical trade-offs, leaving enough context for teammates and agents to execute confidently.\n\nBuild testing, observability, rollout safety, and user feedback into the work, then iterate until the feature produces the intended outcome.\n\nWhat You'll Own - Driving Growth Beyond 12 Months\nOwn major product surfaces and the customer or operational outcomes they support.\n\nShape product direction using customer evidence, operational data, and technical constraints.\n\nScale the architecture and API layer as our products, integrations, and transaction volume grow.\n\nRaise the team's bar for product shaping and engineering quality, and mentor other engineers.\n\nWhat You'll Bring On Day 1\nProduction full-stack experience. You have at least 3 years of experience building and shipping software that real users depend on.\n\nStrong engineering fundamentals. You're effective in Python and a modern typed frontend stack, and can ramp quickly on TypeScript and React.\n\nEnd-to-end product ownership. You're excited to start with an ambiguous problem, work with users to shape the right solution, and carry it through implementation and a measured result.\n\nUser-facing craft. You care whether a complex workflow feels clear and trustworthy, as well as whether the system is technically sound.\n\nAI-native execution. Coding agents materially change how you investigate and build, and you verify their output rather than delegating judgment.\n\nClear communication. You work precisely with engineers, product partners, operators, and customers.\n\nWhat You'll Need To Learn Quickly\nHow benefit verification and prior authorization work across providers, pharmacies, payers, and pharmacy benefit managers.\n\nWhere medication-access workflows break and how those failures affect patients, clinical teams, and operations.\n\nHow our product, workflow, and AI systems interact within healthcare data and reliability constraints.\n\nHow customers and internal teams evaluate success across turnaround time, accuracy, approval outcomes, and operational effort.\n\nBonus Points\nExperience building AI-powered or automation-heavy products in production.\n\nExperience with healthcare, clinical workflows, EHRs, payers, pharmacies, or another regulated domain.\n\nEarly-stage startup experience or evidence that you thrive with high ownership and limited structure.\n\nExperience building workflow products, data-heavy interfaces, or third-party integrations.\n\nWhat We Offer\nCompetitive base salary plus meaningful early-stage equity.\n\nHealth, dental, and vision coverage; flexible PTO.\n\nA high-end workstation and tooling budget, including the AI tools that help you do your best work.\n\nDirect ownership of products that improve access to medication for hundreds of thousands of patients every month.\n\nIf you're excited to combine strong engineering, product judgment, and AI-native execution to improve access to care, we'd love to hear from you!","description_format":"text","description_chars":4782,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Consumer Health Apps"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T23:14:48Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":220000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/develophealth-senior-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/develophealth-senior-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T12:26:37Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":17063,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4427},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4427"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdevelophealth-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdevelophealth-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdevelophealth-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/develophealth-senior-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdevelophealth-senior-software-engineer"}]}
