About the Role & The Engineering Team

Are you ready to build the future of healthcare? We are seeking a talented and driven Full-Stack Engineering Intern to join our inaugural internship program. As a core member of our engineering team, you will not only write code but also contribute directly to our mission: to transform the healthcare economy and deliver high-quality, affordable care for all. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience by building and launching features that impact real people. You will work alongside a passionate, multidisciplinary team of engineers, designers, and product managers who value courageous communication and expect extraordinary results.

In this role, you will be deeply integrated into a fast-paced, agile team.

Career Opportunity: Select interns will be offered full-time roles upon successful completion of the program.

A Day in the Life

Your day will be dynamic and collaborative. You might start your morning by contributing to a front-end feature that improves the user interface for our members. After lunch, you could be working on the back-end, building a new API or optimizing a database query to improve performance. You will actively participate in code reviews, sharing your insights and learning from others. You will also have the opportunity to engage in problem-solving sessions with senior engineers and team leads, where your unique perspective will be valued.
