Position Overview:
In this role you will be working in the Platform team, which is dedicated to building a robust and scalable platform that empowers our developers, customers and partners to create innovative healthcare solutions to transform healthcare.  Our mission is to excel in four key areas:

  • Integration Architecture, ensuring seamless and secure integrations between diverse systems;
  • Developer Experience, providing tools and environments that increase developer productivity and creativity;

About Wellframe:
With Wellframe, we reimagine healthcare relationships through a new approach that uses high-tech to deliver the high-touch support people need, when and where they need it. We call it Digital Health Management. Our comprehensive suite of Digital Health Management solutions for care management, advocacy, and navigation help organizations forge more meaningful connections with members, across their healthcare journey. Wellframe was founded to counter a pressing industry problem: the healthcare system has struggled to find ways to support people in between care settings, at scale. We believe health plans are in the best position to advocate for their members as they navigate their health and care, but know that technology alone can’t help us achieve this ambition. That’s why our team of physicians, clinicians, public health experts, data scientists, engineers, and healthcare industry experts ensure our patented technology works in service of the person-to-person connections that make healthcare work best. The complete suite of solutions from HealthEdge delivers a digital foundation for payers specifically designed to fuel a digital transformation, reduce costs, and improve both clinical outcomes and the member experience.
