Company Overview:

Cohere Health is illuminating healthcare for patients, their doctors, and all those who are important in a patient’s healthcare experience, both in and out of the doctor’s office.  Founded in August, 2019, we arecommitted to eliminating wasteful friction patients and doctors experience in areas that have nothing to do with health and treatment, particularly for diagnoses that require expensive procedures or medications.  To that end, we build software that is expressly designed to ensure the appropriate plan of care is understood and expeditiously approved, so that patients and doctors can focus on health, rather than payment or administrative hassles.

• Proven experience designing, building, and optimizing rules engines for large-scale decisioning and automation workflows, with a focus on business rules, logic processing, and optimization.
• You are passionate about building quality products and want to own product development end-to-end, with excellentdesign and development standards
• You can collaborate closely with teammates in product and design to build applications providing healthcare practitioners with the highest quality user experience
• You have experience with common software development practices such as version control, unit testing, and CI/CD
• You are a team player and are interested in working at a fast-paced startup environment

Your background & education:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, or equivalent experience
• Minimum of 8 years of experience in software development lifecycle, required
