Recruiting from Scratch is an early-stage healthcare startup rethinking health insurance to reduce friction for doctors and patients. As a Product Engineer, you will design, build, and scale data pipelines and backend systems that directly support claims processing and healthcare operations, ensuring providers are paid accurately and patients receive seamless care.
Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and scale data pipelines and backend systems supporting claims, payments, and healthcare operations
- Develop automations for provider notifications, patient support workflows, and internal operations
- Own data flows across ingestion, transformation, validation, and persistence
- Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Engineering, and business stakeholders to understand workflows and reduce manual overhead
- Rapidly prototype solutions and refactor them into clean, maintainable production code
- Contribute to the long-term evolution of the data platform as data volume and product scope increase
- Building and scaling Python-based pipelines to generate and process insurance claims on behalf of providers
- Developing EHR integrations to ingest, normalize, and validate healthcare data from multiple vendors
- Designing provider payment and reimbursement workflows to ensure accurate, timely payouts
- Automating patient support and internal operational workflows to reduce manual intervention
- Refactoring existing backend systems to improve reliability, observability, and scalability
Requirements:
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience (4+ years considered for exceptional candidates)
- Strong Python experience, including refactoring and maintaining production code
- Experience designing and operating data pipelines, ETLs, or backend systems at scale
- Experience working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL
- Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders
- Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-moving startup environments
- Startup experience, especially at 10–50 person companies
- Familiarity with Flask, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy
- Experience working with large or messy datasets
- Healthcare or healthtech experience (claims, EHRs, vendor integrations)
- Thoughtful experience using AI tools in regulated environments
