Job Summary
We believe accessing healthcare should be as simple as doing your taxes on TurboTax. But for the millions on Medicaid its not.
People lose coverage because of administrative barrierslike missing a notice and incorrect documentation. 6070% of disenrollments in Medicaid happen for these procedural reasons. These are avoidable errors caused by fragmented systems not ineligibility.
Fortuna Health is redefining the consumer experience for Medicaid. Were helping millions navigate Medicaid end-to-end from eligibility and enrollment to renewing coverage. Were backed by a16z BoxGroup YC and top healthcare angels.
We believe this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to dramatically improve the human condition for 90M people and we need the help of high-throughput growth-minded builders to make it happen.
As an early engineering hire at Fortuna youll play a huge role in shaping the direction and culture of the company. We work fully in-person 5 days a week out of our NYC office and strongly believe in the value of a focused supportive and tight-knit team.
Your primary duty will be to build the product which will mostly entail fast-paced engineering work. However youll likely wear a number of different hats as we iterate including design marketing operations and customer experience.
Product Mindset
Our philosophy is that engineers should lead product. We are fundamentally building a consumer product for the masses. As such we are looking for an engineer who is more motivated by building a great consumer-first product than by deeply exploring interesting technology.
Ownership
Theres plenty of greenfield exploratory work to be done. We need someone to be able to take an ambiguous problem and run with it. As we gain traction with specific product ideas we would want you to truly own the whole product not just the code.
Technical Velocity
We are looking for a rockstar engineer someone who is nimble and can move fast while maintaining a sufficiently high level of code quality so that things dont fall apart. Its important to understand best practices and technical end goals so that trade-offs can be appropriately weighed as we are building.
Respectful Disagreement
We believe its crucial to be able to openly disagree with anyone on the team. We are looking for someone who doesnt shy away from conflict but is respectful and empathetic in their approach and always open to different ideas.
Humility
Its important to be able to admit when youre wrong. We are looking for a low-ego teammate who is able to take failures in stride and grow from them.
