Lead Software Engineer, Full Stack

United States of America

At Nuna, our mission is to make high-quality healthcare affordable and accessible for everyone. We are dedicated to tackling one of our nation’s biggest problems with ingenuity, creativity, and a keen moral compass.

Nuna is committed to simple principles: a rigorous understanding of data, modern technology, and most importantly, compassion and care for our fellow human. We want to know what really works, what doesn't—and why. 

YOUR TEAM

This is an opportunity to be considered for multiple roles across different departments. Based on your skills, experience, and interests, you may be matched with one of two teams, where you can make an immediate impact. 

Population Health team:

This team is dedicated to transforming raw data into actionable insights that drive population health management and improve member outcomes. We strive to enhance foundational data and expand Care app experience through innovative data solutions and collaborative partnerships. 

Program team: 

This team builds a data platform and a suite of UI applications used by healthcare payers and providers to improve patient care and reduce costs via the operation of value-based programs. The program team is responsible for the logic of our customers’ value-based programs and for exposing results and operational data via an application suite (existing) and data warehouse (future). The team is comprised of a cross-functional group of analysts and software developers.

YOUR OPPORTUNITIES

  • Build products that change the dynamics and incentives of the healthcare industry, changing a zero-sum game of competition between payers and providers into patient-centered collaboration
  • Own the technical success of our contract performance application and related data and APIs
  • Set the bar for quality - drive the adoption of best practices and testing/coding standards
  • Mentor and coach junior engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning, collaboration, and innovation
  • Partner closely with health data analysts, financial analysts, and actuaries to deeply understand our domain and develop effective insights
  • You’ll mentor more junior engineers and, in turn, learn from more senior engineers, because we are learners, not knowers, and growing Nuna’s people is the most reliable way to scale our impact
  • You’ll work as part of a team, not in a silo. At Nuna we rise by lifting others!

QUALIFICATIONS

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related technical field and 8+ years of experience
  • Able to independently guide projects from beginning and end including technical design and leading other engineers with a high level of autonomy
  • Proven experience developing data-intensive  web based applications using React, Javascript, TypeScript, SQL, Python on time and budget
  • Experience building production-hardened web services, with consideration for security, performance, scalability, reliability, and repeatability
  • Experience with API design that lets us build composable APIs and libraries to solve many different needs
  • Experience rapidly prototyping new product concepts, especially for enterprise clients
  • Understanding of automated testing concepts in web apps and the ability to consistently apply them
  • Excellent written and verbal communication

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with healthcare data and/or concepts - e.g., FHIR, OMOP

We take into account an individual’s qualifications, skillset, and experience in determining final salary. This role is eligible for health insurance, life insurance, retirement benefits, participation in the company’s equity program, paid time off, including vacation and sick leave. The expected salary range for this position is $188,000 to $230,750.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
