Company Overview:

Cohere Health is illuminating healthcare for patients, their doctors, and all those who are important in a patient’s healthcare experience, both in and out of the doctor's office.  Founded in August, 2019, we are committed to eliminating wasteful friction patients and doctors experience in areas that have nothing to do with health and treatment, particularly for diagnoses that require expensive procedures or medications.  To that end, we build software that is expressly designed to ensure the appropriate plan of care is understood and expeditiously approved, so that patients and doctors can focus on health, rather than payment or administrative hassles.

Opportunity Overview:

Cohere Health is at the forefront of leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to transform prior authorization, shifting from transaction-based processes to creating elevated care journeys. By integrating AI into healthcare decisioning, we aim to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and ultimately enhance patient care. This is a unique opportunity to join our rapidly growing Decisioning & Content team, where you’ll work on building impactful healthcare technologies that streamline and optimize the prior authorization process using AI/ML and Advanced Rules Engines.

We value empathetic teammates who are candid, kind, caring, and embody our core values and principles. Cohere Health is deeply committed to maintaining a supportive, growth-oriented environment that works for everyone. We believe diverse, inclusive teams make the most impactful work.

 

What you will do:

  • Lead the technical roadmap for the Decisioning & Content team, working alongside cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact deterministic rules-based and AI-driven healthcare automation solutions.
  • Design, develop, and optimize scalable rules engines that can dynamically handle complex decisioning processes and meet evolving business needs.
  • Develop and implement A/B testing frameworks to continuously validate, optimize, and evaluate the performance of rules-based decisioning algorithms.
  • Lead the design and execution of simulation models for testing rules, ensuring that the impact of changes to business logic can be safely assessed and validated before deployment.
  •  
  • Drive the decomposition of complex architectures, transforming monolithic systems into scalable microservices.
  • Lead the development and execution of bug management strategies to enhance overall product quality.
  • Actively support the technical design process, bringing your expertise and analysis to help make data-driven decisions
  • Contribute heavily to feature design, development, testing, and delivery of our cloud platform and web applications
  • Continuously discover, understand, and implement new technologies & services to maximize development efficiency
  • Foster a community of mentorship for junior engineers on your team
  • Drive daily engineering release once every month
  • Perform production support duties 1-2 times a year. 

What we are looking for:

  • Proven experience designing, building, and optimizing rules engines for large-scale decisioning and automation workflows, with a focus on business rules, logic processing, and optimization.
  • You are passionate about building quality products and want to own product development end-to-end, with excellent design and development standards
  • You can collaborate closely with teammates in product and design to build applications providing healthcare practitioners with the highest quality user experience
  • You have experience with common software development practices such as version control, unit testing, and CI/CD
  • You are a team player and are interested in working at a fast-paced startup environment

Your background & education:

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or equivalent experience
  • Minimum of 8 years of experience in software development lifecycle, required
  • Backend experience using Java, Groovy, or Python
  • Experience building applications using React, Javascript, and TypeScript
  • Hands on experience building applications on NoSQL technologies such as MongoDB is a plus
  • Hands on experience leveraging test frameworks such as Cypress, JUnit, Jest, Mocha, or Cucumber is a plus
  • Prior experience in healthcare and life sciences is a plus, but is not required

We can’t wait to learn more about you and meet you at Cohere Health!

As set forth in Cohere Health’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
