Job description

We are Remodel Health, the health benefits platform that revolutionizes health benefits to resource organizations with missions that matter. Our platform shifts organizations from traditional, one-size-fits-all health insurance plans to an individualized health insurance experience for each employee and their family.

We were founded on faith-based principles, and have a heart to serve all organizations, from small to large to enterprise. Historically, our core customer pipeline has consisted of churches, K-12 private schools, Christian higher education, and faith-based nonprofits. In recent years, we have grown to serve largely for-profit organizations of all sizes.

Our team is collaborative, intentional, and prioritized. We care deeply for our customers and passionately believe there is a better way for employees to receive health benefits from their organization. Learn more about who we are here!

In our stack, we use modern tools like React, Redux, Material UI, .NET Core, SQL Server and Azure and AWS. We have automated build deploy processes and value strong testing methodologies with automated tooling to help. While you may be skilled in these technologies, it’s more important to have leadership tendencies and a drive to complete items with your team. You are especially good at team-building and helping people develop their careers in Software Engineering as our company grows. You thrive in a player-coach environment where you’ll spend roughly 50% of your time in the code and 50% of your time leading your team and collaborating with other stakeholders.
