Our healthcare system is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the U.S. Every year, over 50 million Americans suffer adverse financial consequences as a result of seeking care, from lower credit scores to garnished wages. The challenge is only getting worse, as high deductible health plans are the fastest growing plan design in the U.S.
Cedar’s mission is to leverage data science, smart product design and personalization to make healthcare more affordable and accessible. Today, healthcare providers still engage with its consumers in a “one-size-fits-all” approach; and Cedar is excited to leverage consumer best practices to deliver a superior experience.
Our core product team is building the technology that helps patients understand, afford, and manage their healthcare costs.
You'll drive innovation by experimenting with and launching AI and ML powered features; from integrating LLMs into engineering workflows to enhancing an AI chat agent that delivers personalized billing guidance with empathy and compassion.
You'll also lead the design, development, and deployment of full-stack experiences that give patients greater flexibility, confidence, and control over their financial journey, including integrations with leading financial partners to bring new payment solutions to life.
You'll work across the full stack to build and evolve a class-leading patient financial product used by millions of patients annually, collaborating closely with product managers, designers, and partner engineering teams to turn ambitious ideas into clear technical plans and robust, production-ready software.
Beyond the technical work, you'll help shape team direction, coordinate complex development efforts, and mentor peers as we work together to make healthcare simpler, fairer, and more accessible for everyone.
