Our mission is to make excellent healthcare affordable and accessible for everyone. We know that to accomplish this lofty mission, we need driven people who will make things happen.\nThe passionate people who make up Sidecar Health’s team come from all over, with backgrounds as tech leaders, policy makers, healthcare professionals, and beyond. And they all have one thing in common-the desire to fix a broken system and make it more personalized, affordable, and transparent.\nIf you want to use your talents to transform healthcare in the United States, come join us!\nAbout the Role\nHealthcare runs on data moving between systems that were never designed to talk to each other. Provider directories, benefit and pricing feeds, claims data, and a long tail of third-party partners each with their own format and quirks. You'll own the platform that makes that data usable: the pipelines that land it in Snowflake, the delivery pipelines that gets it back out to partners, and the third-party integrations that keep it flowing correctly at scale. \nYou'll also build the internal tools that let our operations and pricing teams move fast without waiting on engineering for every change. Things like automating pricing adjustments for benefit amounts across large provider datasets, so repetitive manual work becomes a self-serve, auditable workflow. \nThis is a Staff-level role. You'll be expected to set technical direction for how we handle data at scale, unblock other engineers who are heads-down on features, and be the person the team turns to when a data pipeline or integration problem doesn't have an obvious answer. \n**MUST BE BASED IN CALIFORNIA, OREGON OR WASHINGTON, This role is not eligible for sponsorship**\nWhat You'll Do \nOwn and evolve the production services and APIs that power provider, benefit, and pricing experiences for members, partners, and internal teams, including the data flows into Snowflake and out to third-party consumers \nDesign, build, and operatethird-party integrations as resilient production services (idempotent, retry-safe,and observable), handling schema drift, malformed data, and partner-specific quirks gracefully \nBuild full-stack internal products that automate repetitive, high-volume operational work (e.g., pricing adjustments for benefit amounts) - turning manual processes into scalable, self-service applications with clear UX and audit trails \nEnsure the production services handlinglarge volumes of medical provider datameet a high barfor correctness, latency, data quality, and auditability \nSet technical direction for service architecture and integration patterns - evaluate and introduce modern architectural approaches (service-oriented design, API contracts, event-driven systems, workflow orchestration, etc.) where they solve real problems \nAct as a technical unblocker across teams: review designs, pair on hard problems, and help other engineers ship product features rather than stall \nDrive engineering standards for production reliability: SLOs, observability, alerting, testing, and safe deployment practices (feature flags, canary releases, fast rollbacks) \nTake part in and help shape on-call and incident response: lead root-cause analysis and drive the fixes that prevent repeat incidents \nPartner closely with product, operations, and pricing stakeholders to translate ambiguous business needs (like \"automate this pricing process\") into durable product capabilities and production services \nMentor engineers and raise the technical bar through code review, design docs, and hands-on collaboration \nWhat You'll Bring \n10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of owning data-intensive systems in production \nDeep experience building and operating data pipelines at scale; ingestion, transformation, and delivery (Snowflake experience strongly preferred) \nHands-on experience building and maintaining third-party integrations, including handling unreliable or inconsistent external data \nExperience building internal tools/platforms that automate operational workflows for non-engineering teams \nStrong fundamentals in distributed systems, data modeling, and modern architectural patterns for processing data at scale \nDemonstrated ability to operate as a technical leader: setting direction, unblocking others, and influencing without direct authority \nComfort with ambiguity; you can take a loosely defined operational pain point and turn it into a well-scoped technical solution \nStrong communication skills; able to explain a data architecture tradeoff to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders \nFluent, disciplined use of AI-assisted tooling to move faster, with the rigor to verify correctness, security, and quality before it ships \nNice to haves:\nExperience with healthcare data (provider directories, NPI, claims, fee schedules, or benefits data) \nFamiliarity with workflow orchestration tools (Airflow, dbt, Step Functions, etc.) \nThe Reality\n\nThis is a startup. We move fast. We prioritize impact over polish. We expect:\nBias for action - ship, learn, iterate\nOwnership - you design it, build it, run it\nPragmatism - solve real problems, not theoretical ones\nResilience - ambiguity comes with the territory\nHealthcare is complex and broken. The work matters.\nWhat You'll Get \nCompetitive salary, bonus opportunity, and equity package \nComprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits\nA 401k retirement plan\nPaid vacation and company holidays\nOpportunity to make an impact at a rapidly growing mission-driven company transforming healthcare in the U.S.\nIn taking a market-based approach to compensation, base pay may vary depending on location. Additionally, base pay may vary considerably depending on job-related skills and experience. The current expected salary range for this position is: $200,000 - $240,000. \nSidecar Health is an Equal Opportunity employer committed to building a diverse team. We do not discriminate on the basis ofrace, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status or disability status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6142,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Equity","Health insurance","Retirement plans"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"Washington","iso":null,"kind":"city"},{"name":"Oregon","iso":null,"kind":"city"},{"name":"California","iso":null,"kind":"city"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Health Insurance & Benefits"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-22T20:44:33Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2 · green card filings: 1","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":1,"median_offered_wage_usd":144167,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":1}],"liveness":{"score":76,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.849,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":31,"expected_fill_days":66,"reasons":["conf:1","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":240000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sidecar-health-staff-software-engineer-full-stack-enabling-plan-and-benefits-data","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sidecar-health-staff-software-engineer-full-stack-enabling-plan-and-benefits-data.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T09:04:03Z","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":12990,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"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":687752},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=687752"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsidecar-health-staff-software-engineer-full-stack-enabling-plan-and-benefits-data"},{"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%2Fsidecar-health-staff-software-engineer-full-stack-enabling-plan-and-benefits-data"},{"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%2Fsidecar-health-staff-software-engineer-full-stack-enabling-plan-and-benefits-data"},{"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/sidecar-health-staff-software-engineer-full-stack-enabling-plan-and-benefits-data\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsidecar-health-staff-software-engineer-full-stack-enabling-plan-and-benefits-data"}]}
