Senior Software Engineer
New York City, NY - USA
Job Summary
Most of what makes American healthcare expensive isnt medical care. Its the machinery wrapped around it: middlemen taking a cut fraud nobody stops and billing systems designed to fight over payment instead of deliver care. The result is higher premiums denied claims surprise bills and a system patients increasingly experience as adversarial.
Arlo is rebuilding health insurance for small businesses from first principles: making sure as much of every premium dollar as possible goes to care instead of getting absorbed by the system around it. We do that by identifying fraud earlier steering members toward higher-quality and lower-cost care automating operational overhead and eliminating vendors whose business exists mostly to take a cut.
AI is the foundation that makes this work. We use it across underwriting operations clinical programs and member experience to build an insurer that becomes more efficient as the technology improves.
Were already operating at meaningful scale: profitable hundreds of millions in premiums tens of thousands of members covered and growing quickly through brokers employers and partners. Backed by Upfront Ventures 8VC and General Catalyst with a team from Palantir YC companies and longtime healthcare operators.
