Senior Backend Engineer

We're solving EDI

At Stedi, we’re rebuilding the technological backbone of the B2B economy. Trillions of dollars flow annually through a global network of commerce via an archaic protocol called Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), but there hasn’t been a major new EDI platform in decades.

In the healthcare sector, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) required that all insurance carriers exchange transactions such as claims, eligibility checks, prior authorizations, and enrollments using a standardized EDI format called X12 HIPAA. A small group of legacy clearinghouses process the majority of these transactions, offering consolidated connectivity to carriers and providers.

Stedi's latest product is the world’s only API-first clearinghouse. By offering a modern API interface, we enable healthcare technology businesses to exchange transactions without dealing with the EDI protocol or carrier-specific connectivity.

Stedi has lightning in a bottle: engineers and designers shipping products week in and week out; a lean business team to support the company’s infrastructure; passion for automation and eliminating toil; $71 million in funding from top investors like Stripe, Addition, USV, Bloomberg Beta, First Round Capital, and more.

What we’re looking for

With the latest news of Stedi's drop-in replacements for Change Healthcare's APIs, we are looking for an experienced backend engineer to join our engineering team to build our healthcare APIs and extend existing systems.

This role is fully remote in the US, Canada, or Europe.

How we build

• We use AWS exclusively for our customer-facing backend infrastructure. We use tools like GitHub, Stripe, and PagerDuty, but all of our application work happens on AWS.
• We use serverless technologies almost exclusively: Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB, Aurora Serverless,  and more. We don’t run a single server.
• We use CDK (TypeScript) to define infrastructure as code.
• We write our EDI parsing engine and any compute-bound services in Rust. The rest of our backend is in TypeScript.

What you'll do

• Design and develop complex, large-scale web applications and APIs
• Work closely with AWS to improve our understanding and use of their services
• Contribute to a culture of engineering excellence and rigor through both coding and writing high-quality, effective communication
• Build the highest quality, broadest-reaching commercial trading network at the lowest possible price for our customers

Who you are

• 4+ years of experience coding in either JavaScript/TypeScript or Rust; we will help you ramp  
• 4+ years working with AWS services
• Committed to working with AWS serverless offerings in a production environment
• Ability to prioritize your work based on the needs of the business and the customers
• High bandwidth; thoughtful attention to many areas simultaneously
• Ability to context switch throughout the course of the day or week as priorities shift
• Philosophical alignment with the Stedi Standards

At Stedi, we're looking for people who are deeply curious and aligned to our ways of working. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't perfectly match the job description. We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of any status protected under federal, state, or local law.
