Software Engineer III (Kora/Support)
CedarCedar is the AI-powered healthcare financial experience platform, built for the rising cost and complexity of healthcare payments. We help millions of people every year understand and resolve their medical bills with clarity and compassion, while helping healthcare organizations operate more efficiently. We’re combining AI, smart design, and empathy to fix one of healthcare’s most urgent crises.
Our healthcare system is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the U.S. Every year, over 50 million Americans suffer adverse financial consequences as a result of seeking care, from lower credit scores to garnished wages. The challenge is only getting worse, as high deductible health plans are the fastest growing plan design in the U.S. Cedar’s mission is to leverage data science, smart product design and personalization to make healthcare more affordable and accessible. Today, healthcare providers still engage with its consumers in a “one-size-fits-all” approach; and Cedar is excited to leverage consumer best practices to deliver a superior experience. The RoleWe built a voice AI agent that talks to patients about their medical bills and it works. Kora is live with real clients and growing. Now we're expanding into chat, SMS, and outbound calls with a team of five engineers. This role is full-stack in the truest sense: you'll build data integrations, engineer LLM prompts, configure infrastructure, and ship features that real patients interact with the same week. As a member of the Kora squad (formerly known as Support), your day might look like: - Driving Innovation: Experimenting with and launching GenAI-powered features in collaboration with AI scientists. - Harnessing Generative AI: Engineering development and production workflows by integrating LLMs, providing necessary context and constraints using modern practices, and evaluating output for further refinement. This includes context building, prompt design, and building evaluation pipelines that feed directly into Kora's live production system. - Advancing Patient Understanding: Enhancing Kora, our first-in-class voice AI agent, to deliver personalized billing guidance via empathetic and compassionate communication. This means building the infrastructure that exposes insurance information, billing data, and third-party integrations to Kora and prompting the agent to utilize that data accurately in real-time patient conversations. - Working Close to Our Users: Actively reviewing call transcripts and conversation logs to identify good and bad product behavior, then feeding those insights directly back into the system. This team runs unusually close to its end users that is part of how we move fast. - Expanding Kora's Reach: Contributing to the transition from a primarily inbound voice-based agent to a multi-modal platform, including outbound calls, chat, and SMS. There are firsts still to be done on this roadmap. - Inspiring and Leading Others: Actively contributing to team chartering, managing technical projects, and mentoring peer engineers to take ownership of their own projects. - Raising the Technical Bar: Taking creative initiative, such as evaluating new approaches to agent-based engineering or developing rapid prototyping techniques. This includes working with the declarative AI agent platform the team uses to build Kora, and adapting quickly to a non-traditional codebase where prompting an LLM replaces hard-coded logic. What We Look For - Strong technical leadership with a track record of driving measurable impact across the stack (4–6 years of experience preferred, but not required). - Experience in Generative AI and Large Language Models, either via use to increase productivity and efficiency, or by integrating APIs into a product. Personal or professional — we count both. - Comfort crossing typical engineering boundaries. This role spans data pipeline and ETL work, third-party systems integration, cloud infrastructure setup (AWS or GCP), and product-facing feature development. We are not looking for a specialist, we are looking for someone who adapts to wherever the problem is. - Demonstrated proficiency in independent, hands-on coding and problem-solving, including handling complex edge cases, optimising for efficiency, and delivering robust solutions within time constraints. - Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to articulate complex technical ideas clearly, concisely, and with compelling examples, as well as asking insightful clarifying questions. - A strong commitment to engineering best practices, including writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code, and a proactive approach to managing technical debt. - Entrepreneurial mindset; you thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and love solving complex problems. - Experience with modern languages and frameworks; Python and TypeScript are the primary languages on this team (approximately 50/50). React experience is useful. We are polyglot-friendly, if you learn languages quickly, the specific stack matters less than the depth of what you have built. - Comfort working with non-deterministic systems. LLM outputs vary; the same code can return different answers on different runs. This is a feature of the domain, not a bug. You will need to design for it, monitor for it, and iterate against it without the safety net of purely deterministic testing. - Passion for our mission.

Tech Lead Manager (Machine Learning) |M1|
CedarCedar is the AI-powered healthcare financial experience platform, built for the rising cost and complexity of healthcare payments. We help millions of people every year understand and resolve their medical bills with clarity and compassion, while helping healthcare organizations operate more efficiently. We’re combining AI, smart design, and empathy to fix one of healthcare’s most urgent crises.
Our healthcare system is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the U.S. Every year, over 50 million Americans suffer adverse financial consequences as a result of seeking care, from lower credit scores to garnished wages. The challenge is only getting worse, as high deductible health plans are the fastest growing plan design in the U.S. Cedar’s mission is to leverage data science, smart product design and personalization to make healthcare more affordable and accessible. Today, healthcare providers still engage with its consumers in a “one-size-fits-all” approach; and Cedar is excited to leverage consumer best practices to deliver a superior experience. The Role We are in search of a Tech Lead Manager to lead development of the machine learning systems that underlie our foundational Personalization Engine within Cedar Pay. This role requires deep expertise in machine learning engineering (from ML modeling to MLOps) and a desire to drive impact through a combination of hands-on technical contributions and people management. Your work will serve as the "decisioning brain" for a vast array of product features that are developed by multiple Cedar squads. Your models will navigate thousands of unique patient variables, economic situations, healthcare-specific intricacies, and behavioral patterns, to ensure every patient journey is optimized for both financial resolution and a positive healthcare financial experience. The robust system that you build and scale will be the intelligent core that powers personalized experiences within Cedar Pay. Key responsibilities - ML System Ownership: Serve as key DRI (Directly Responsible Individual) for the ML System that powers the Personalization Engine. You will own the machine learning lifecycle end-to-end, ensuring system reliability, platform scalability, and model effectiveness, in partnership with the engineers on the team. - Full-Stack ML Execution: Lead and execute engineering work ranging from high-performance MLOps (feature stores, pipelines for model deployment, inference, and monitoring) to sophisticated ML modeling (can include training ensemble models, reinforcement learning, multi-armed bandits, or more), while employing guardrails for compliance and fairness. You will lead by example by making hands-on contributions, and also by guiding and empowering the two ML engineers on your team. - Technical Leadership and People Management: Act as a force-multiplier for the Personalization Foundations squad. You will conduct rigorous code and design reviews, elevating the bar across the team, contributing to a culture that is committed to technical excellence and product impact. You will serve as direct manager for the machine learning engineers on the squad, mentoring and coaching them to support their professional growth. - Balancing Rigor with a Bias for Action: With a deep understanding of software engineering principles, you build robust, production-grade systems that can handle the scale of millions of healthcare transactions, while also enabling the ability to rapidly operationalize, iterate on, and improve ML models and approaches as we collect data and generate new insights. You understand that the first approach is never perfect, and that learning is a continuous process; you focus on building for the validated present rather than over-engineering for an unproven future. - Feedback Loop Optimization: Using your combined skillset in data engineering and ML model design, you will improve and expand upon the feedback loop that captures patient reactions to real-time decisions, ensuring that our models learn autonomously and adapt to changing economic and healthcare landscapes. - Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with Product and Design to translate ambiguous patient journey touchpoints into concrete ML problems. You will help to define the "surface area" of where and how machine learning can provide the most leverage within the Cedar Pay ecosystem. Required Skills and Experience - Track record of building production ML systems: You have 6+ years of professional experience in machine learning engineering, where you have designed, built, and deployed effective ML-powered personalization systems or recommendation engines at scale for consumer-facing products (e.g., fintech, e-commerce, social media, etc.) - Strong programming skillset: You bring technical excellence as you contribute hands-on across the full ML lifecycle—building data pipelines for feature engineering, training the core models, and enhancing the MLOps infrastructure required to serve and monitor these insights at scale. Expertise in both Python and SQL is highly preferred. - Leadership: You have 1+ years of experience managing ML engineers and scientists, and you have led a team to execute on a technical roadmap, from ideation to production. Although we prefer candidates who have previous management experience, candidates with experience in an IC Tech Lead ML role where they had informal or dotted-line management responsibilities will still be considered (and for these candidates, we can craft a tailored growth plan into a formal management role at Cedar). - Collaboration: You have experience collaborating closely with product leaders and software engineers, understanding that ML systems don’t work in isolation but only in the context of a larger software product. - ROI-driven mindset: You go beyond training models or engineering systems—you have an inclination to dive into the data to understand the "why." You can articulate how to formulate a business problem as a supervised, unsupervised, or reinforcement learning task. You possess the judgment to determine when the incremental benefits of a model justify the cost of building and operating it. You are comfortable championing simpler, non-ML solutions when they offer a higher return on investment for the business. - Machine learning for a mission: The idea of applying your technical skillset to improve the healthcare financial experience is something that excites and inspires you. Nice-to-have, but not required: - Experience with agentic personalization: You have built and integrated effective Generative AI features into a personalization system, or you have designed tools, components and modules that help enable the development of safe, high-performance GenAI features. - Leading the build of software products, beyond the AI/ML components: If your tech leadership skillset crosses over from machine learning engineering to product engineering, you will thrive as a leader in this cross-functional team.
