We were tired of hearing that healthcare is broken, so we decided to do something about it. At Nomi Health, we believe the care itself isn't broken - it's the business of healthcare that gets in the way. Every year, more than $1 trillion is wasted on paperwork, delays, and middle layers that drive up costs and keep people from the care they need. We're rebuilding the system so it works the way it should: clear prices you can trust, faster payments that keep providers focused on patients, and data that helps employers make better decisions. Our work has already touched more than 30 million lives - from local communities in Michigan to some of the largest companies in the country., A successful Staff Software Engineer at Nomi Health does more than deliver individual features. You establish technical clarity, help teams make better decisions, reduce operational risk, and leave behind systems and engineering practices that make future work easier. Nomi Health delivers disruptive healthcare solutions, in partnership with like-minded employers, public sector organizations, advisors (brokers/consultants), and payers/TPAs. We're a team of 300+ people who show up every day with the same mindset: don't settle for "that's just how it is." Real change happens when you challenge the system, cut through the excuses, and build something better together.   You must create an Indeed account before continuing to the company website to apply
