Software Engineer: Foundations at Thatch

About the role

The Foundations team is building the abstractions and automations that allow for every Thatch member to pay for insurance plans and expenses that fit their specific healthcare needs, while creating a seamless experience for employers to manage their benefits program at scale.

Our focus is architecting robust data models, integrating with carriers and financial partners, and optimizing automations to manage millions of dollars of transactions. As an engineer on the foundations team, you’ll help design, implement, and maintain these systems.

If multiple software engineer roles might be a fit for you, apply to any one, and we’ll work together to find the best match.

What you'll do

• Contribute to the design and architecture of the next generation of Thatch data models and funds flows to enable Thatch’s continued growth.
• Improve Thatch’s operational rigor through automation, tooling, and business observability.
• Work with other engineers, product managers, operations, and leadership to develop software that solves business needs.
• Define and constantly improve our engineering standards, tooling, and processes.

Background we're looking for

• 8+ years of experience as a software engineer, with flexibility for exceptional candidates.
• Proven track record of shipping and maintaining systems with complex product and operational implications.
• Excitement about building systems from first principles and operating in an ambiguous environment with cross-functional tradeoffs.
• Experience mentoring and investing in the growth of other engineers.
• We hire for potential — even if you don't meet all the criteria listed here, we encourage you to apply!!

Experience we'd be particularly excited about

• Experience building and maintaining financial systems, such as payment integrations and ledger systems.
• Experience building or working closely with healthcare or employee benefits products.
• Experience building integrations with legacy systems, such as health insurance carriers and banks

What to expect

We interview rigorously based on integrity, talent, and drive; the trust we display in our teammates is a reflection of the confidence we have in this process. We aim to evaluate the things you’ll do daily as best we can, and we move quickly — the entire interview process is typically complete within 2 weeks.
