At Wellframe, we reimagine healthcare relationships through a new approach that uses high-tech to deliver the high-touch support people need, when and where they need it. We call it Digital Health Management. Our comprehensive suite of Digital Health Management solutions for care management, advocacy, and navigation help organizations forge more meaningful connections with members, across their healthcare journey. 

Wellframe was founded to counter a pressing industry problem: the healthcare system has struggled to find ways to support people in between care settings, at scale. We believe health plans are in the best position to advocate for their members as they navigate their health and care, but know that technology alone can’t help us achieve this ambition. That’s why our team of physicians, clinicians, public health experts, data scientists, engineers, and healthcare industry experts ensure our patented technology works in service of the person-to-person connections that make healthcare work best.

The Associate Software Engineer is responsible for building the software that enables our digital care management platform. They accomplish this by working closely with other engineers, product managers, designers and data scientists. The Associate Software Engineer sits within the Engineering department and reports to a Manager, Software Engineering. Success in this role is demonstrated by translating business requirements that have an impact on patient care into high quality solutions coded with security and privacy best practices in mind.

The Care management team uses technology to improve care manager adoption and deploy complex care teams. The team is seeking a passionate and a curious engineer who has the ability to collaborate across teams, and can display humility and tenacity in their day to day tasks. The candidate will get an opportunity to work in healthcare technology and see how we improve care management.
