Staff Front End Software Engineer, UI Foundations

At Nuna, our mission is to make high-quality healthcare affordable and accessible for everyone. We are dedicated to tackling one of our nation’s biggest problems with ingenuity, creativity, and a keen moral compass.

Nuna is committed to simple principles: a rigorous understanding of data, modern technology, and most importantly, compassion and care for our fellow human. We want to know what really works, what doesn't—and why.

Nuna partners with healthcare payers, including government agencies and health plans, to turn data into learnings and information into meaning.

YOUR TEAM 

The UI Foundations team at Nuna is primarily responsible for designing, architecting and building a robust, scalable and intuitive UI platform that serves as the bedrock for all our front-end applications, providing top-notch user experiences for providers and payers. We measure our products’ success by how much they improve care and lower costs. As an engineering-led culture, you will be at the vanguard of making healthcare work for all Americans. Today, your contributions will help hospitals improve patient outcomes, enable health plans to pay for quality-of-care rather than quantity-of-care, and match patients to optimal doctors. Tomorrow, you’ll be creating even bigger and better products to shape this industry.
