Healthcare Insurance

Sidecar Health is a health insurance company that provides comprehensive major medical insurance with upfront pricing and no network restrictions or referral requirements. Their goal is to put employees in control of their healthcare by giving them a clear budget for care and allowing them to choose any doctor without surprise costs. They emphasize access to prescriptions without limitations and protection for unplanned care. Sidecar Health also offers transparent pricing and the option for members to save money if they find providers who charge less than their plan pays. Their offerings include individualized access plans and employer plans, ensuring members always have a choice of qualified doctors.

📋 Description

• Design and own high-throughput, distributed data pipelines and platform infrastructure from concept through production • Decompose large, ambiguous initiatives into structured, executable plans that the team can move on in parallel • Write production-grade Python — strongly typed, well-structured, and built to last — not scripts or notebooks • Optimize SQL at scale: query tuning, data modeling, and understanding execution plans • Architect across boundaries — defining contracts between frontend, backend services, and infrastructure • Be a technical resource and mentor for junior engineers, and partner directly with leadership on roadmap and technical decisions • Instrument systems for observability — knowing what to monitor, not just how to read a dashboard

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with full ownership of production systems • Strong proficiency in Python (mypy, Pydantic, proper abstractions) and SQL at scale • Deep experience building and operating distributed data pipelines and event-driven architectures • Hands-on AWS experience: Lambda, SQS, IAM, CloudWatch, and cost-aware design • Docker as a first-class practice • Habitual, fluent use of AI tools (Claude, Cursor, etc.) as part of your daily workflow • Observability experience with Datadog or equivalent • Familiarity with FastAPI, Django, SQLAlchemy, Celery, or Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CDK) is a strong plus • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary, bonus opportunity, and equity package • Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits • A 401k retirement plan • Paid vacation and company holidays • Opportunity to make an impact at a rapidly growing mission-driven company transforming healthcare in the U.S.
