About The Position

Curative is seeking a forward-deployed software engineer to serve as the technical owner of its health plan Finance and Accounting (F&A) platform. This role involves deep engagement with financial operations, working closely with the F&A team to understand and resolve issues directly. The engineer will be responsible for tracking data discrepancies, building AI agents to automate support and billing tasks, and transforming F&A workflows into software solutions. This position requires partnership with F&A and product stakeholders, architectural decision-making, production ownership, and representation in cross-team discussions. The role emphasizes an AI-first development approach, where engineers direct AI coding tools to implement features, resolve issues, and improve code quality, requiring strong fundamental skills to review AI-generated code effectively.

• Strong SQL and relational database fundamentals, including query plan analysis, N+1 detection, and understanding of migrations at scale.
• Experience building data-intensive applications, including ETL/sync pipelines and interfaces, with a focus on data correctness.
• A correctness mindset, with experience building systems where output must add up and implementing checks, invariants, and audit trails.
• Systems thinking capabilities, including sketching architecture, identifying failure modes, and reasoning about blast radius.
• Production cloud experience (AWS, GCP, or equivalent) and experience being on-call for a real system.
• Comfort working directly with non-technical stakeholders, extracting requirements, and making them feel heard.
• Genuine interest in financial data, the systems that produce it, and ensuring numerical accuracy.
• Sharp written communication skills for prompts, specs, and PR descriptions.
• Experience using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or equivalent) as a primary development tool.
• Ability to structure prompts, manage subagents, and prevent AI output drift.
• Discipline to review every AI-generated diff and not merge without thorough review.
• Treating AI as a supervised junior engineer with high leverage.
• Enjoyment in building tooling to enhance AI effectiveness (skills, evals, fixtures, integrations).
• Understanding AI leverage as a means to own a product surface and stay close to users.
