Cedar’s mission is to leverage data science, smart product design and personalization to make healthcare more affordable and accessible. Today, healthcare providers still engage with its consumers in a 'one-size-fits-all' approach; and Cedar is excited to leverage consumer best practices to deliver a superior experience. We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join Payment Workflows, the team that owns the checkout flow for Cedar Pay and the orchestration and business rules that shape our payment experiences. You’ll act as an impact amplifier for the team—raising the bar for design quality, speed, and reliability—while partnering with engineering, product, design, and commercial/sales leaders to make clear, durable tradeoffs.

  • Unlock the productivity of the team through strong patterns, high-signal design/code reviews, mentorship, and clear documentation.
  • Drive the next generation of our checkout experience and workflow capabilities (e.g., plans, refunds, schedules), making them easier to extend and personalize over time.
  • Replace ad-hoc paths with scalable designs and clear interfaces so features can be configured safely across customers without bespoke work.
  • Establish simple operating practices—lightweight design briefs, intake/prioritization, and decision records—so customer-driven requests don’t derail long-term work.
  • Partner with Product, Design, Commercial/Sales, Support, and Payment Platform to align on goals, explain tradeoffs, and keep the team moving.
  • Evaluate vendor options and platform abstractions in collaboration with Payment Platform to reduce cost and complexity.
  • Ensure the checkout experience is observable, resilient, and easy to support.
  • 8+ years of professional software development experience with a strong backend focus (APIs, services, event-driven systems).
  • A proven force multiplier who raises standards across teams through patterns, reviews, tooling, and mentorship.
  • Experience leading large, cross-team initiatives or refactors; exposure to systems like workflow/rules engines or ledgering/financial correctness is a plus.
  • Skilled at balancing near-term needs with long-term investments; communicates tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical partners.
  • Strong sense of accountability, comfortable with ambiguity, and motivated by improving the healthcare financial experience.
  • Payments experience is a plus, not a requirement.
  • Salary/Hourly Rate Range: $216,750 - $280,000.
  • This role is equity eligible.
  • This role offers a competitive benefits and wellness package.
  • Unlimited PTO for vacation, sick and mental health days.
  • 16 weeks paid parental leave with health benefits for all parents.
  • Diversity initiatives that encourage Cedarians to bring their whole selves to work.
  • Cedar matches 100% of your 401(k) contributions, up to 3% of your annual compensation.
  • Access to hands-on mentorship, employee and management coaching, and a team discretionary budget for learning and development resources.
