Software Engineer (Ruby on Rails)

We're looking for someone with Ruby on Rails expertise to help build a product that will unleash a flurry of medical coders

Who is KODE? 

Kode Health is an early stage health-tech company looking to change the way coding is done -- building a marketplace to connect healthcare companies with certified medical coders in a gig environment and help healthcare leadership to optimize their team’s potential. The company is stable, profitable, and growing rapidly. Our team currently comprises approximately 150 employees and is looking to expand quickly across product, engineering, and design to support new partners and feature development.

What’s the Product? 

Our KODE on-demand product allows certified medical coders to code from the convenience of their homes, picking the hours that they want, and getting paid as early as next day. Our platform strives to reward medical coders by offering flexibility in both how they work and how they are compensated. For healthcare providers, KODE provides a low commitment, highly scalable marketplace approach to meet variable coding demands. Our internal engineering team is responsible for all platform development and third-party integration to serve our B2B partners (healthcare systems) and B2C end users. We currently support over 30 healthcare facilities and 5000 US based medical coders as gig workers on our platform.

Your Job 

You will be a core member of an expert development team. You will be an active collaborator with a voice in product and technology decisions. You’ll be building features, fixing bugs, improving performance, and discussing product ideas. You will not be sitting in endless meetings or wasting time with corporate bureaucracy. This is a small team, working efficiently, trusting each other, building amazing products, and enjoying the adventure along the way. Although we’re fully remote, we collaborate regularly through asynchronous tools like Slack and GitHub.

Who We Are Looking For 

As a software engineer at KODE, you’ll join our core team of highly skilled engineers who are delivering on our vision of building a world just for (medical) coding. • We’re looking for a Rails developer who’s been doing this for several years. You’re able to build complete features independently, provide actionable feedback to others, and welcome critiques to your own code. You recognize the trade-offs between pristine code and code that gets the job done. • You’re fun to work with. You are open-minded with a positive attitude. You assume best intentions. • English might not be your first language, but you are very fluent in it. You would be comfortable writing documentation or discussing a new feature with the team. • You’re a good communicator. You enjoy writing or drawing out your thought process. • You feel comfortable working both collaboratively and independently. • You enjoy understanding the spirit of a problem and can approach solving it in a non-prescriptive way, offering suggestions and understanding tradeoffs. • You are comfortable with external integrations. We are integrating with external providers that often will require research and digging.

Tech Stack 

Kode is a vanilla Rails app with a Stimulus front end with some Turbo and Tailwind styling. Background processing is done via Sidekiq. We are hosted on Heroku Shield which keeps DevOps at a minimum.

Values & Benefits 

At Kode Health, we believe strongly in the value of a modern, highly collaborative culture and the ability to take chances to develop creative, iterative solutions to our users’ problems. • Remote first: Kode employees will never be asked to return to in-person work. Offices are in Holland, MI and there will be opportunities to travel to on-site team meetings several times a year. • Open & collaborative: We believe in a culture in which everyone is free to express their ideas. Expect a low-formality culture where you’re an active participant in contributing to company strategy, not buried in an org chart. • Flexible: Our teams are geographically spread across the Americas and work in ways (and times) that work best for them. We believe in giving people the flexibility to be great at their jobs while also taking care of their families and life obligations. To be most successful in this role, your workday should generally have overlap with 8am-5pm EDT. • Medical/Dental/Vision benefits • 401k with company match • Competitive salary • Stock option allocations
