Redesign Health is a healthcare innovation platform. We bring together entrepreneurs, industry experts, and investors to fund and launch companies that transform the healthcare system and empower people to live their healthiest lives. Our first companies include Lively, Ever/Body, Vault Health, Springtide, HealthQuarters, Calibrate, Proper, and stealth ventures in payment integrity, elder care, and complex care. We’re capitalized with permanent capital from world-class institutional investors and entrepreneurs.

We are launching a stealth venture in the mental health space with the mission to provide access to affordable and high quality mental health services for all patients.

Uplift is a multi-sided marketplace, applying technology to empower patients to find in-network therapists that are covered by their insurance plan. Patients lack access to proper mental healthcare and while 1 in 5 Americans struggle with mental health issues, only 40% of this group received care in the last year. At the same time, providers are underutilized, and independent therapists are operating at 60% capacity. UpLift acts as the bridge between patient, provider and insurer, empowering patients to find the best therapist for their needs at a price they can afford.

As one of the first members of our Uplift engineering team, you will lay the foundation for our consumer and healthcare provider interfaces, helping to bring a better mental health experience to all patients. You will help set the systems, architecture, and process for our engineering team. This is a unique opportunity to lay the groundwork for everything from the API to CI!

You will report to and work with the Chief Product Officer and partner closely with our front end engineer to develop our API layer and institutional best practices. This role is 100% remote.

What you'll do:

• Provide innovative solutions leveraging modern web tools and techniques enhancing our platform capabilities by making key technical decisions, improving and adapting our development process, and making overall architecture recommendations to support a rapidly increasing organization
• Implement established software development best practices by developing, refining, iterating, integrating, testing, staging, and deploying maintainable technical solutions
• Use technical analytical skills, from load balancing API endpoints to database query performance, and judgment to solve problems and make decisions in a rapidly changing environment
• Communicate engineering risks and challenges to non-technical team members to ensure we are coming up with the right solutions.
