Summary Generated by Built In

Garner's mission is to transform the healthcare economy, delivering high quality and affordable care for all. By helping employers restructure their healthcare benefit to provide clear incentives and data-driven insights, we direct employees to higher quality and lower cost healthcare providers. The result is that patients get better health outcomes while doctors are rewarded for practicing well, not performing more procedures. We are backed by top-tier venture capital firms, are growing rapidly and looking to expand our team.

Garner is entering our next phase of scale, and we are looking for engineers who can help us build the systems we need to keep up with our customer demand. As a Staff Backend Engineer, you will be a key architect of our technical direction and processes, serving as a high-level problem-solver and mentor to other engineers on the team.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Architect and scale our business’s core data processing pipelines
  • Collaborate across disciplines and teams to deliver on our product goals
  • Protect our users’ privacy and security through best practices
  • Support our production operations and come up with solutions to lighten the operational load

The ideal candidate has:

  • Strong Computer Science fundamentals
  • 6+ years of industry experience building and maintaining scalable, high-quality software
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience building data pipelines
  • Expertise in Python
  • Expertise with SQL
  • Expertise with Kubernetes
  • Expertise with workflow engines (Argo preferred, but not required)
  • Familiarity with data warehousing
  • Experience working with back-end APIs and distributed event-driven architectures.
  • Have worked with one or more database systems, especially PostgreSQL
  • Worked on a team using Agile methodologies

What we look for at Garner:

  • Mission First: Our mission is to transform our healthcare system, delivering high-quality and affordable care to all. Everything else is secondary.
  • Expect Extraordinary: Our mission is audacious, so we will only succeed by producing exceptional results. We continually push ourselves and each other to new heights and beyond our comfort zones.
  • Courageous Communication: Transparency and candor are imperative to realizing our potential as an organization and as individuals—even when uncomfortable. Many companies talk about these values. We live them. 
  • Supportive community: We know that people do their best work and learn the most when they feel genuinely supported and cared for. It’s also more fun that way. 

The target salary range for this position is $230,000-$250,000 annually. Individual compensation for this role will depend on various factors, including qualifications, skills, and applicable laws. In addition to base compensation, this role is eligible to participate in our equity incentive and competitive benefits plans.
