We are a successful, well-funded, fast-growing company that still prides itself on our start-up values...like agility and risk-taking and celebrating (big wins, our diversity, and simple pleasures, like National Chocolate Lovers Day). We have enough infrastructure that every day isn’t a fire drill.
- We do work that matters—a lot—making exciting things happen in healthcare at a moment when exciting things really need to happen: creative destruction of failed systems and blossoming of more efficient alternatives that create better experiences and win-for-all outcomes.
- We are each allowed to be—expected to be! —creative daily.

- We are parched for your Zone of Genius at this moment in our growth and development.
- You have a bias to action, prize results over activity, value speed to market, and strive for efficiency.

Even though your native language is systems and data, you understand that when it comes to health care, behind every trend line and data point is a real person, and n=1.
