Staff Software Engineer

Clover is reinventing health insurance by working to keep people healthier.

We value diversity — in backgrounds and in experiences. Healthcare is a universal concern, and we need people from all backgrounds and swaths of life to help build the future of healthcare. Clover's engineering team is empathetic, caring, and supportive. We are deliberate and self-reflective about the engineering team and culture that we are building, seeking engineers that are not only strong in their own aptitudes but care deeply about helping each other's growth.

We are looking for a staff software engineer who is well-versed in full stack engineering . You will work closely with other engineers, data scientists, healthcare professionals, and product managers, building tools to improve the health of real people.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will:

• Setting technical standards and driving technical directions for the engineering team.
• Commit to simplifying the complexities of healthcare by building systems that multiply human efforts.
• Introduce new tools and technologies to solve problems and move our goals forward.
• Lead the team in defining and maintaining development practices that let us iterate quickly while maintaining quality — including writing tests and documenting key implementations.
• Work with Product Managers and operational staff to conceptualize new features with minimal oversight.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance for the engineering team.

You will love this job if:

• You are excited by big, complicated problems and try to solve them with pragmatic, well-engineered solutions. You have a natural intellectual curiosity that drives you to find out how things work and if they can work better.
• You enjoy working in a fluid, collaborative environment, defining and owning priorities that contribute to our larger goals. You can bring clarity to ambiguity while remaining open-minded to new information that might change your mind.
• You are not hesitant to jump in to help fix things that are broken and you feel a great responsibility to make sustainable systems. You are eager to fill in the gaps to reach a goal where necessary, even if it does not always fit your job description.
• You have a genuine interest in what good technology can do to help people and have a positive attitude about tackling hard problems in an important industry.
• You have a strong passion for mentoring and fostering the growth of other engineers.

You should get in touch if:

• You have 8+ years of experience with functional or imperative programming languages -- e.g., Python, Ruby, Go, C, or Java.
• You are proficient in working with a wide variety of databases, including SQL, NoSQL, distributed databases, and other relevant technologies.
• You approach building and maintaining systems with maturity and rigor.
• You are able to work in different technical systems and concerns.
• You have both built and refactored complex (often distributed) systems.
• You are comfortable with RESTful APIs and understanding of API design principles.
• You are familiar with troubleshoot and debug complex web applications and bottlenecks
• You have a strong understanding of security best practices in web development, including knowledge of common vulnerabilities and mitigation techniques.
• You demonstrate the ability to influence downwards and upwards, and to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
