Head of Engineering @ Fair Square Medicare

What you’ll do

You’ll own engineering at www.fairsquaremedicare.com, which takes a senior from knowing nothing about Medicare to feeling confident they have the best health insurance their budget allows. You’ll report directly to the CEO and own:

• Engineering Outcomes. We're building:
  • Intake flow to make it dead simple for a user to give us the info we need to recommend a set of insurance plans.
  • Decision making support tools that explain when someone should enroll in Medicare and under what circumstances they shouldn’t.
  • Plan ingestion backend to collect plan details from multiple sources
  • Recommendation experience, so that when we show our 2-3 recommendations out of the 50 plans available to the average senior, they understand why we chose them.
  • Recommendation engine, which uses insurance plan information, provider quality information, and prescription drug pricing to make personalized recommendations.
• Engineering Recruiting - You'll build a team.

Who you are

You're a product-minded engineer with experience managing others. You've orchestrated and built dazzling consumer web experiences and maybe even conceived of them yourself. You're not a designer but if you weren't working with one, you could put together a nice UX/UI on your own using Bootstrap. You want to talk to customers. You've had side projects. And you're good with React, graphql, and node.

Who you'll work with

Dan

Dan founded Fair Square Medicare after watching his parents struggle through the Medicare shopping process. He previously was the technical co-founder at Trim (post Series A; valued @ > $30M), Octane Lending (Growth stage, valued @ > $300M) and has held product and growth roles at Redfin, the Climate Corp, and AppDynamics. He studied Physics at Yale.

Chris

Chris is the health insurance agent Dan's parent's found after a long and painful search. They love him. He's helped thousands of seniors across the U.S. navigate the minefield of Medicare. His core value: "treat clients as if they're your family".

Our Culture

Treat our users like family

We are building for our own parents.

Be kind

We believe that your character as a person is shown by how you treat others. Especially when everything isn't hunky dory.

"The megalomaniac pleasure of creation produces a type of elation which cannot be compared with that experienced by other mortals."

You deeply love building dazzling web products. To the point that when our team grows and you become a manager (if you want to), you'll have days where you seriously consider going back to being an IC.

Think clearly so that we can disagree productively.

Your mind is a function that returns a point of view given a set of data and assumptions. Understand this function's body and explain it to the team so that they can review it and help you make sure it works.

Tech is a means to a great customer experience

We love to geek out about how Graphql >>> REST. And we use it because a strongly opinionated API layer helps us iterate faster toward a product our users love.
