About The Position

Abacus Insights is transforming how data and AI work for health plans. Our mission is simple: make healthcare data usable, so the people responsible for care and cost decisions can act faster, with confidence. As the AI and Data Platform for Payer Intelligence, we help health plans break down data silos to create a single, trusted data foundation. That foundation powers better decisions—so plans can improve outcomes, reduce waste, and deliver better experiences for members and providers alike. Backed by $100M from top investors, we're tackling big challenges in an industry that's ready for change. Our platform enables GenAI use cases by delivering clean, connected, and reliable healthcare data to support automation, prioritization, and decision workflows—and it's why we are leading the way. Our innovation begins with people. We are bold, curious, and collaborative—because the best ideas come from working together. We embrace the thoughtful use of AI and automation to drive innovation and efficiency, and we look for individuals who are curious and adaptable—those excited to leverage emerging technologies to enhance how we work—while keeping human insight, connection, and our clients at the center of every decision. Ready to make an impact? Join us and let's build the future together.

The DevOps Team focuses on improving the telemetry around and availability of Abacus' product offerings while contributing to the sustainability of engineering practice throughout the organization. As the "engineers behind the engineers," we are responsible for a diverse set of tasks from across the DevOps spectrum. We work in many contexts, using many tools and technologies to remove obstacles and keep the rest of the engineering organization moving as efficiently and effectively as possible. We are a small, nimble team making an outsized impact.
