Senior Software Engineer, Medicare

Job Description

For People is a team of skilled technologists improving government digital services for disadvantaged and vulnerable populations. We embed directly in government agencies to modernize software, systems, and platforms so that they better serve people.

Your Impact

We are a dedicated team focused on creating the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Blue Button 2.0 platform, an extensive Medicare data warehouse to serve Medicare beneficiaries' demographic, enrollment, and claims data in a Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) format. We are responsible for providing data to several Medicare APIs so that those systems can seamlessly exchange data between various healthcare providers, insurers, and patients. You will directly impact the quality of healthcare that over 65 million Medicare enrollees nationwide receive.

Our Culture

For People is a team of humans. We place a significant amount of emphasis on positive work-life balance, setting healthy expectations, and making sure our loved ones are taken care of first. That means picking a child up from school during the day or going for a mid-day walk is okay!

This position's published base salary range is between $125,000 and $160,000 annually, plus generous benefits (e.g., For People pays 100% of Gold-tier employee health insurance premiums) and annual company profit sharing.
