Job description
All of us can agree healthcare is simply too hard in the US. And our members feel that pain day in and day out. We aim to create an experience that simply feels easy when you need to access our healthcare system. If you need something, you know where to go to get it with care that is a click (or as few clicks as possible!) away.What’s beautiful about a vision oriented toward “easy” is how it imparts a singular feeling. We instinctively know as humans when something is easy versus hard, even if we can’t explain why. We fight as a company to make an easy pathway available to all our members at every stage of their healthcare journey. If you feel passionate about delivering better healthcare to small businesses through a seamless care experience and affordable benefits, join us!
Sana is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our small but growing team. In this role, you’ll directly influence how small businesses and their employees access affordable, high-quality care. We’re looking for someone who has demonstrated the ability to build, deploy, and maintain high-quality applications. You understand and use automated testing and know how to write clean, readable code. You are someone looking to push the boundaries of delivering convenient, simple, and personalized high-quality health benefits and care. If you’re ready to help thousands of members navigate the healthcare system with fewer headaches and lower costs, let’s talk!
We are building a distributed engineering team and encourage all applicants to apply, regardless of location.

- Collaborate with product managers and stakeholders to identify high-leverage AI use cases.

- Experience working in cloud environments (AWS) and with modern tooling (Docker, Elasticsearch, Postgres, Git, Linux).
- Excellent communicator who thrives in collaborative, fast-paced settings.
- A systems thinker who enjoys tackling complex challenges in healthcare, fintech, or similarly regulated industries.

Sana is a modern health plan solution for small and medium businesses.
