Lead and manage the platform testing team to improve testing strategy, developer velocity, and product reliability. | 5+ years software engineering experience with testing and platform engineering exposure, 2+ years management experience, strong technical judgment, and leadership skills. | Our healthcare system is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the U.S. Every year, over 50 million Americans suffer adverse financial consequences as a result of seeking care, from lower credit scores to garnished wages. The challenge is only getting worse, as high deductible health plans are the fastest growing plan design in the U.S. 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. U.S. healthcare is frustrating and deeply flawed. Cedar’s mission is to drive better outcomes for everyone involved, including providers, insurance companies and the people they serve. At a time when consumer-friendly healthcare experiences are more critical than ever, our platform is uniquely equipped to solve problems that lead to billing issues and administrative waste. At Cedar, know that your work will have a meaningful impact on people’s lives. The Role Cedar is a patient payment and engagement platform that elevates the total patient experience beyond clinical care. Our platform leverages data science and technology to deliver modern intelligence to providers and simplify the healthcare experience for patients. We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead Cedar’s Platform Testing team. This team owns the systems, strategy, and developer experience that help Cedar ship high-quality software quickly and confidently. Cedar is moving toward a more service-oriented architecture while software delivery is also changing rapidly. Code volume is increasing, LLM-generated code is becoming more common, and system complexity is growing. Our testing strategy needs to evolve to meet that future. In this role, you will lead the transformation of Cedar’s testing ecosystem from a source of friction into a force multiplier for product stability and developer velocity. You will define and execute a strategy that helps engineers get faster, more meaningful feedback; reduces the cost and complexity of validation; and ensures our tests are clearly aligned to product capabilities and business outcomes. The first problems you will focus on include improving cost-effective QA environments for internal partners, building a better testing strategy for service-to-service validation, and solving gaps in model settings and entitlements testing. Over time, you will help Cedar move toward a future where intelligent automation, LLM-powered code review, and platform-level validation reduce manual review bottlenecks and improve confidence at scale. This is a hands-on leadership role. You will manage and grow a small team, work deeply with engineers, partner closely with stakeholders across Engineering, Product, Delivery, and Integrations, and help Cedar raise the bar for how we build and validate software. What You’ll Do • Lead Cedar’s Platform Testing team, including strategy, execution, talent development, and stakeholder alignment. • Develop and execute a testing platform roadmap that improves developer velocity, product reliability, and confidence in releases. • Partner with Staff Engineers and Architects to implement testing strategies as we move toward service-oriented architecture, including patterns for service-to-service validation, test environment strategy, and product-aligned coverage. • Improve the developer experience of testing by reducing slow feedback loops, lowering test environment friction, and making failures easier to understand and act on. • Own and evolve internal QA environment strategy, including cost-effective environments that support Delivery, Product, and Integrations partners during go-lives. • Drive solutions for testing model settings, entitlements, and other complex configuration-driven behavior. • Help reshape Cedar’s current testing approach into a deliberate strategy that balances unit, integration, end-to-end, contract, and environment-based testing. • Promote testing best practices across engineering through documentation, training, stakeholder engagement, and direct collaboration with product engineering teams. • Partner with engineering leaders, architects, product teams, and internal customers to understand pain points and translate them into clear platform investments. • Explore and apply LLM-powered workflows for code review, test generation, validation, and quality automation. • Manage and grow engineers on the team, including coaching, performance management, career development, and hiring. • Create a culture of high ownership, technical excellence, pragmatic decision-making, and continuous improvement. About You • You have experience leading engineering teams that build developer platforms, testing infrastructure, CI/CD systems, internal tools, or reliability-focused systems. • You are a hands-on engineering manager who can go deep with engineers, understand technical tradeoffs, and help teams make practical decisions. • You have strong opinions about software quality, testing strategy, and how teams should validate complex systems at scale. • Collaborate with platform engineering leadership and stakeholders and can work directly with them to understand problems, define priorities, and drive alignment. • You are pragmatic and outcome-oriented. You know when to build, when to simplify, when to downscope, and when a process or technical solution is not worth the cost. • You are excited about the future of software development in an LLM-driven world and have a point of view on how testing, review, and validation need to evolve. • You are collaborative, curious, and respectful. You listen first, ask good questions, and build trust before driving change. • You are not a pure process manager. You want to understand the details, diagnose problems, and help the team produce better technical outcomes. • You have a track record of identifying problems, proposing solutions, and driving meaningful improvements across a team or organization. • You enjoy teaching, coaching, and helping engineers adopt better practices. What We Look For • 5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful exposure to testing, developer experience, infrastructure, CI/CD, or platform engineering. • 2+ years of engineering management or technical leadership experience. • Experience building or operating systems that support software delivery, such as CI pipelines, test infrastructure, release tooling, internal platforms, or developer productivity systems. • Strong technical judgment and the ability to evaluate tradeoffs across reliability, cost, developer experience, and delivery speed. • Experience working with cross-functional stakeholders and translating ambiguous needs into concrete plans. • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write strategy documents, project proposals, and clear technical guidance. • Experience developing engineers through coaching, feedback, delegation, and career development. • A bias toward action and ownership in complex, evolving environments. Bonus Points • Experience with service-oriented architecture, contract testing, integration testing, or distributed systems validation. • Experience with Python, Django, Go, Kotlin, or large monorepos. • Experience with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or other CI/CD systems. • Experience with AWS, containers, Kubernetes, or cloud-based test environments. • Experience building internal platforms or self-service tooling for engineers. • Experience applying LLMs or AI-assisted workflows to software development, testing, review, or developer productivity. • Experience in healthcare, fintech, or another regulated domain where reliability and correctness matter. • Experience leading talks, workshops, focus groups, or internal training programs. What Success Looks Like In the first year, you will have developed a clear roadmap and strategy for Platform Testing, built strong alignment with stakeholders, grown talent on the team, and filled key team gaps through internal development or hiring. In the first six months, you will have made meaningful progress on three critical problems: • Cost-effective QA environments that support Delivery, Product, and Integrations partners with a user-friendly setup process. • A testing pipeline and management approach for model settings and entitlements. • A cohesive strategy for testing services as Cedar moves further into service-oriented architecture. Longer term, success means Cedar’s engineers ship faster with higher confidence, our validation strategy scales with system complexity, and Platform Testing becomes a critical enabler of Cedar’s reliability and competitive advantage.

At a time when consumer-friendly healthcare experiences are more critical than ever, our platform is uniquely equipped to solve problems that lead to billing issues and administrative waste. At Cedar, know that your work will have a meaningful impact on people’s lives. The Role Cedar is a patient payment and engagement platform that elevates the total patient experience beyond clinical care. Our platform leverages data science and technology to deliver modern intelligence to providers and simplify the healthcare experience for patients. We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead Cedar’s Platform Testing team. This team owns the systems, strategy, and developer experience that help Cedar ship high-quality software quickly and confidently. Cedar is moving toward a more service-oriented architecture while software delivery is also changing rapidly. Code volume is increasing, LLM-generated code is becoming more common, and system complexity is growing. Our testing strategy needs to evolve to meet that future. In this role, you will lead the transformation of Cedar’s testing ecosystem from a source of friction into a force multiplier for product stability and developer velocity. You will define and execute a strategy that helps engineers get faster, more meaningful feedback; reduces the cost and complexity of validation; and ensures our tests are clearly aligned to product capabilities and business outcomes. The first problems you will focus on include improving cost-effective QA environments for internal partners, building a better testing strategy for service-to-service validation, and solving gaps in model settings and entitlements testing. Over time, you will help Cedar move toward a future where intelligent automation, LLM-powered code review, and platform-level validation reduce manual review bottlenecks and improve confidence at scale. This is a hands-on leadership role. You will manage and grow a small team, work deeply with engineers, partner closely with stakeholders across Engineering, Product, Delivery, and Integrations, and help Cedar raise the bar for how we build and validate software. What You’ll Do • Lead Cedar’s Platform Testing team, including strategy, execution, talent development, and stakeholder alignment. • Develop and execute a testing platform roadmap that improves developer velocity, product reliability, and confidence in releases. • Partner with Staff Engineers and Architects to implement testing strategies as we move toward service-oriented architecture, including patterns for service-to-service validation, test environment strategy, and product-aligned coverage. • Improve the developer experience of testing by reducing slow feedback loops, lowering test environment friction, and making failures easier to understand and act on. • Own and evolve internal QA environment strategy, including cost-effective environments that support Delivery, Product, and Integrations partners during go-lives. • Drive solutions for testing model settings, entitlements, and other complex configuration-driven behavior. • Help reshape Cedar’s current testing approach into a deliberate strategy that balances unit, integration, end-to-end, contract, and environment-based testing. • Promote testing best practices across engineering through documentation, training, stakeholder engagement, and direct collaboration with product engineering teams. • Partner with engineering leaders, architects, product teams, and internal customers to understand pain points and translate them into clear platform investments. • Explore and apply LLM-powered workflows for code review, test generation, validation, and quality automation. • Manage and grow engineers on the team, including coaching, performance management, career development, and hiring. • Create a culture of high ownership, technical excellence, pragmatic decision-making, and continuous improvement. About You • You have experience leading engineering teams that build developer platforms, testing infrastructure, CI/CD systems, internal tools, or reliability-focused systems. • You are a hands-on engineering manager who can go deep with engineers, understand technical tradeoffs, and help teams make practical decisions. • You have strong opinions about software quality, testing strategy, and how teams should validate complex systems at scale. • Collaborate with platform engineering leadership and stakeholders and can work directly with them to understand problems, define priorities, and drive alignment. • You are pragmatic and outcome-oriented. You know when to build, when to simplify, when to downscope, and when a process or technical solution is not worth the cost. • You are excited about the future of software development in an LLM-driven world and have a point of view on how testing, review, and validation need to evolve. • You are collaborative, curious, and respectful. You listen first, ask good questions, and build trust before driving change. • You are not a pure process manager. You want to understand the details, diagnose problems, and help the team produce better technical outcomes. • You have a track record of identifying problems, proposing solutions, and driving meaningful improvements across a team or organization. • You enjoy teaching, coaching, and helping engineers adopt better practices. What We Look For • 5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful exposure to testing, developer experience, infrastructure, CI/CD, or platform engineering. • 2+ years of engineering management or technical leadership experience. • Experience building or operating systems that support software delivery, such as CI pipelines, test infrastructure, release tooling, internal platforms, or developer productivity systems. • Strong technical judgment and the ability to evaluate tradeoffs across reliability, cost, developer experience, and delivery speed. • Experience working with cross-functional stakeholders and translating ambiguous needs into concrete plans. • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write strategy documents, project proposals, and clear technical guidance. • Experience developing engineers through coaching, feedback, delegation, and career development. • A bias toward action and ownership in complex, evolving environments. Bonus Points • Experience with service-oriented architecture, contract testing, integration testing, or distributed systems validation. • Experience with Python, Django, Go, Kotlin, or large monorepos. • Experience with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or other CI/CD systems. • Experience with AWS, containers, Kubernetes, or cloud-based test environments. • Experience building internal platforms or self-service tooling for engineers. • Experience applying LLMs or AI-assisted workflows to software development, testing, review, or developer productivity. • Experience in healthcare, fintech, or another regulated domain where reliability and correctness matter. • Experience leading talks, workshops, focus groups, or internal training programs. What Success Looks Like In the first year, you will have developed a clear roadmap and strategy for Platform Testing, built strong alignment with stakeholders, grown talent on the team, and filled key team gaps through internal development or hiring. In the first six months, you will have made meaningful progress on three critical problems: • Cost-effective QA environments that support Delivery, Product, and Integrations partners with a user-friendly setup process. • A testing pipeline and management approach for model settings and entitlements. • A cohesive strategy for testing services as Cedar moves further into service-oriented architecture. Longer term, success means Cedar’s engineers ship faster with higher confidence, our validation strategy scales with system complexity, and Platform Testing becomes a critical enabler of Cedar’s reliability and competitive advantage.

Cedar is moving toward a more service-oriented architecture while software delivery is also changing rapidly. Code volume is increasing, LLM-generated code is becoming more common, and system complexity is growing. Our testing strategy needs to evolve to meet that future. In this role, you will lead the transformation of Cedar’s testing ecosystem from a source of friction into a force multiplier for product stability and developer velocity. You will define and execute a strategy that helps engineers get faster, more meaningful feedback; reduces the cost and complexity of validation; and ensures our tests are clearly aligned to product capabilities and business outcomes. The first problems you will focus on include improving cost-effective QA environments for internal partners, building a better testing strategy for service-to-service validation, and solving gaps in model settings and entitlements testing. Over time, you will help Cedar move toward a future where intelligent automation, LLM-powered code review, and platform-level validation reduce manual review bottlenecks and improve confidence at scale. This is a hands-on leadership role. You will manage and grow a small team, work deeply with engineers, partner closely with stakeholders across Engineering, Product, Delivery, and Integrations, and help Cedar raise the bar for how we build and validate software. What You’ll Do • Lead Cedar’s Platform Testing team, including strategy, execution, talent development, and stakeholder alignment. • Develop and execute a testing platform roadmap that improves developer velocity, product reliability, and confidence in releases. • Partner with Staff Engineers and Architects to implement testing strategies as we move toward service-oriented architecture, including patterns for service-to-service validation, test environment strategy, and product-aligned coverage. • Improve the developer experience of testing by reducing slow feedback loops, lowering test environment friction, and making failures easier to understand and act on. • Own and evolve internal QA environment strategy, including cost-effective environments that support Delivery, Product, and Integrations partners during go-lives. • Drive solutions for testing model settings, entitlements, and other complex configuration-driven behavior. • Help reshape Cedar’s current testing approach into a deliberate strategy that balances unit, integration, end-to-end, contract, and environment-based testing. • Promote testing best practices across engineering through documentation, training, stakeholder engagement, and direct collaboration with product engineering teams. • Partner with engineering leaders, architects, product teams, and internal customers to understand pain points and translate them into clear platform investments. • Explore and apply LLM-powered workflows for code review, test generation, validation, and quality automation. • Manage and grow engineers on the team, including coaching, performance management, career development, and hiring. • Create a culture of high ownership, technical excellence, pragmatic decision-making, and continuous improvement. About You • You have experience leading engineering teams that build developer platforms, testing infrastructure, CI/CD systems, internal tools, or reliability-focused systems. • You are a hands-on engineering manager who can go deep with engineers, understand technical tradeoffs, and help teams make practical decisions. • You have strong opinions about software quality, testing strategy, and how teams should validate complex systems at scale. • Collaborate with platform engineering leadership and stakeholders and can work directly with them to understand problems, define priorities, and drive alignment. • You are pragmatic and outcome-oriented. You know when to build, when to simplify, when to downscope, and when a process or technical solution is not worth the cost. • You are excited about the future of software development in an LLM-driven world and have a point of view on how testing, review, and validation need to evolve. • You are collaborative, curious, and respectful. You listen first, ask good questions, and build trust before driving change. • You are not a pure process manager. You want to understand the details, diagnose problems, and help the team produce better technical outcomes. • You have a track record of identifying problems, proposing solutions, and driving meaningful improvements across a team or organization. • You enjoy teaching, coaching, and helping engineers adopt better practices. What We Look For • 5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful exposure to testing, developer experience, infrastructure, CI/CD, or platform engineering. • 2+ years of engineering management or technical leadership experience. • Experience building or operating systems that support software delivery, such as CI pipelines, test infrastructure, release tooling, internal platforms, or developer productivity systems. • Strong technical judgment and the ability to evaluate tradeoffs across reliability, cost, developer experience, and delivery speed. • Experience working with cross-functional stakeholders and translating ambiguous needs into concrete plans. • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write strategy documents, project proposals, and clear technical guidance. • Experience developing engineers through coaching, feedback, delegation, and career development. • A bias toward action and ownership in complex, evolving environments. Bonus Points • Experience with service-oriented architecture, contract testing, integration testing, or distributed systems validation. • Experience with Python, Django, Go, Kotlin, or large monorepos. • Experience with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or other CI/CD systems. • Experience with AWS, containers, Kubernetes, or cloud-based test environments. • Experience building internal platforms or self-service tooling for engineers. • Experience applying LLMs or AI-assisted workflows to software development, testing, review, or developer productivity. • Experience in healthcare, fintech, or another regulated domain where reliability and correctness matter. • Experience leading talks, workshops, focus groups, or internal training programs. What Success Looks Like In the first year, you will have developed a clear roadmap and strategy for Platform Testing, built strong alignment with stakeholders, grown talent on the team, and filled key team gaps through internal development or hiring. In the first six months, you will have made meaningful progress on three critical problems: • Cost-effective QA environments that support Delivery, Product, and Integrations partners with a user-friendly setup process. • A testing pipeline and management approach for model settings and entitlements. • A cohesive strategy for testing services as Cedar moves further into service-oriented architecture. Longer term, success means Cedar’s engineers ship faster with higher confidence, our validation strategy scales with system complexity, and Platform Testing becomes a critical enabler of Cedar’s reliability and competitive advantage.

Build and own consumer-facing web app features using React and TypeScript with AI tooling support. | 3+ years experience building production web apps with React and TypeScript, strong HTML/CSS skills, API experience, and testing discipline. | Front-End Engineer (Mid-Level) Job Description Owning a home has slipped out of reach for millions of Americans. Cedar has built a model that changes that, we’ve proven it by closing deals, and now we’re scaling. As our mid-level front-end engineer, you’ll build what people touch every day: the screens a family uses to figure out whether Cedar can get them into a home. You get the stability of a company that’s proven its model, plus the ownership and scope of an early hire. How we work: results over hours, straight feedback, and problems fixed at the root. People who learn fast and take ownership earn serious responsibility quickly. The bar is high, but you won’t be clearing it alone, and the people around you are very good at what they do. AI is central to how we build. We invest heavily in our tooling so a small team can ship like a much bigger one, and we want people who keep pushing on what these tools can do. They are meant to speed you up, not to think for you, and you own the result. What you’ll get • Ownership from week one. You’ll be shipping to customers, not waiting around for permission. • Room to grow. Take on more as soon as you’re ready, not on a fixed timeline. • A small, sharp team and tooling that’s a pleasure to work with, so your time goes to the interesting problems. • Competitive pay and meaningful equity, so you share in what you help build. Responsibilities • Build and own the consumer-facing web app in React, TypeScript, and Next.js. • Lean on our AI tooling to ship quickly, and help make it better as you go. • Be fanatical about testing your assumptions and judging your work by outcomes. AI speeds you up, but it doesn’t think for you, so the verification is on you. • Take dense financial logic and turn it into screens people can understand and trust. • Work shoulder to shoulder with design and product, from rough idea to shipped, accessible UI. • Own features from build to release, then watch how people use them and make them better. • Keep the bar high in code review, write tests that matter, and chase bugs to their root cause. Your first 90 days • First couple of weeks: get set up, ship a small change to production, and learn how we work. • First month: own a feature end to end, from design handoff through release. • By 90 days: you’re the go-to person for a meaningful slice of the consumer app. Skills • A few years (roughly 3+) building production web apps with React and TypeScript. • You’re solid on HTML and CSS, and you make things work on a phone, not just a laptop. • You’ve worked with APIs, REST or GraphQL, and testing is just part of how you build. • You’re excited about our AI tooling and want to push it further. • You work well independently and enjoy the back-and-forth between product, design, and engineering. • Bonus: a good eye for design and comfort working in Figma. • Bonus: you’ve worked on accessibility (WCAG) before. Location Remote-first and full-time. You can work from anywhere in the US, and a good number of us are around New York City if you’d rather not work solo. You’ll report to Brien Kurtz, our VP of Engineering. Compensation Total cash compensation is between $100K and $150K, made up of base and a discretionary bonus, and it comes with significant equity plus benefits. We’re serious about the equity, so you own a piece of what you help build. Benefits • Medical, dental, and vision coverage. • 401(k) retirement plan. • Paid time off and parental leave. • A stipend to set up your home office the way you want it. Equal opportunity Cedar is an equal-opportunity employer. We welcome qualified applicants of every background, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status. If you need an accommodation at any point in the hiring process, just let us know. Compensation Range: $100K - $150K
Lead platform testing team to improve software quality and developer velocity through strategy and execution. | Requires 5+ years software engineering experience, 2+ years engineering management, and expertise in testing infrastructure and developer platforms. | Our healthcare system is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the U.S. Every year, over 50 million Americans suffer adverse financial consequences as a result of seeking care, from lower credit scores to garnished wages. The challenge is only getting worse, as high deductible health plans are the fastest growing plan design in the U.S. 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. U.S. healthcare is frustrating and deeply flawed. Cedar’s mission is to drive better outcomes for everyone involved, including providers, insurance companies and the people they serve. At a time when consumer-friendly healthcare experiences are more critical than ever, our platform is uniquely equipped to solve problems that lead to billing issues and administrative waste. At Cedar, know that your work will have a meaningful impact on people’s lives. The Role Cedar is a patient payment and engagement platform that elevates the total patient experience beyond clinical care. Our platform leverages data science and technology to deliver modern intelligence to providers and simplify the healthcare experience for patients. We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead Cedar’s Platform Testing team. This team owns the systems, strategy, and developer experience that help Cedar ship high-quality software quickly and confidently. Cedar is moving toward a more service-oriented architecture while software delivery is also changing rapidly. Code volume is increasing, LLM-generated code is becoming more common, and system complexity is growing. Our testing strategy needs to evolve to meet that future. In this role, you will lead the transformation of Cedar’s testing ecosystem from a source of friction into a force multiplier for product stability and developer velocity. You will define and execute a strategy that helps engineers get faster, more meaningful feedback; reduces the cost and complexity of validation; and ensures our tests are clearly aligned to product capabilities and business outcomes. The first problems you will focus on include improving cost-effective QA environments for internal partners, building a better testing strategy for service-to-service validation, and solving gaps in model settings and entitlements testing. Over time, you will help Cedar move toward a future where intelligent automation, LLM-powered code review, and platform-level validation reduce manual review bottlenecks and improve confidence at scale. This is a hands-on leadership role. You will manage and grow a small team, work deeply with engineers, partner closely with stakeholders across Engineering, Product, Delivery, and Integrations, and help Cedar raise the bar for how we build and validate software. What You’ll Do • Lead Cedar’s Platform Testing team, including strategy, execution, talent development, and stakeholder alignment. • Develop and execute a testing platform roadmap that improves developer velocity, product reliability, and confidence in releases. • Partner with Staff Engineers and Architects to implement testing strategies as we move toward service-oriented architecture, including patterns for service-to-service validation, test environment strategy, and product-aligned coverage. • Improve the developer experience of testing by reducing slow feedback loops, lowering test environment friction, and making failures easier to understand and act on. • Own and evolve internal QA environment strategy, including cost-effective environments that support Delivery, Product, and Integrations partners during go-lives. • Drive solutions for testing model settings, entitlements, and other complex configuration-driven behavior. • Help reshape Cedar’s current testing approach into a deliberate strategy that balances unit, integration, end-to-end, contract, and environment-based testing. • Promote testing best practices across engineering through documentation, training, stakeholder engagement, and direct collaboration with product engineering teams. • Partner with engineering leaders, architects, product teams, and internal customers to understand pain points and translate them into clear platform investments. • Explore and apply LLM-powered workflows for code review, test generation, validation, and quality automation. • Manage and grow engineers on the team, including coaching, performance management, career development, and hiring. • Create a culture of high ownership, technical excellence, pragmatic decision-making, and continuous improvement. About You • You have experience leading engineering teams that build developer platforms, testing infrastructure, CI/CD systems, internal tools, or reliability-focused systems. • You are a hands-on engineering manager who can go deep with engineers, understand technical tradeoffs, and help teams make practical decisions. • You have strong opinions about software quality, testing strategy, and how teams should validate complex systems at scale. • Collaborate with platform engineering leadership and stakeholders and can work directly with them to understand problems, define priorities, and drive alignment. • You are pragmatic and outcome-oriented. You know when to build, when to simplify, when to downscope, and when a process or technical solution is not worth the cost. • You are excited about the future of software development in an LLM-driven world and have a point of view on how testing, review, and validation need to evolve. • You are collaborative, curious, and respectful. You listen first, ask good questions, and build trust before driving change. • You are not a pure process manager. You want to understand the details, diagnose problems, and help the team produce better technical outcomes. • You have a track record of identifying problems, proposing solutions, and driving meaningful improvements across a team or organization. • You enjoy teaching, coaching, and helping engineers adopt better practices. What We Look For • 5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful exposure to testing, developer experience, infrastructure, CI/CD, or platform engineering. • 2+ years of engineering management or technical leadership experience. • Experience building or operating systems that support software delivery, such as CI pipelines, test infrastructure, release tooling, internal platforms, or developer productivity systems. • Strong technical judgment and the ability to evaluate tradeoffs across reliability, cost, developer experience, and delivery speed. • Experience working with cross-functional stakeholders and translating ambiguous needs into concrete plans. • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write strategy documents, project proposals, and clear technical guidance. • Experience developing engineers through coaching, feedback, delegation, and career development. • A bias toward action and ownership in complex, evolving environments. Bonus Points • Experience with service-oriented architecture, contract testing, integration testing, or distributed systems validation. • Experience with Python, Django, Go, Kotlin, or large monorepos. • Experience with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or other CI/CD systems. • Experience with AWS, containers, Kubernetes, or cloud-based test environments. • Experience building internal platforms or self-service tooling for engineers. • Experience applying LLMs or AI-assisted workflows to software development, testing, review, or developer productivity. • Experience in healthcare, fintech, or another regulated domain where reliability and correctness matter. • Experience leading talks, workshops, focus groups, or internal training programs. What Success Looks Like In the first year, you will have developed a clear roadmap and strategy for Platform Testing, built strong alignment with stakeholders, grown talent on the team, and filled key team gaps through internal development or hiring. In the first six months, you will have made meaningful progress on three critical problems: • Cost-effective QA environments that support Delivery, Product, and Integrations partners with a user-friendly setup process. • A testing pipeline and management approach for model settings and entitlements. • A cohesive strategy for testing services as Cedar moves further into service-oriented architecture. Longer term, success means Cedar’s engineers ship faster with higher confidence, our validation strategy scales with system complexity, and Platform Testing becomes a critical enabler of Cedar’s reliability and competitive advantage.

Lead and manage the platform testing team to improve software quality and developer velocity through strategic testing initiatives. | 5+ years software engineering experience with exposure to testing and platform engineering, plus 2+ years engineering management or technical leadership. | Our healthcare system is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the U.S. Every year, over 50 million Americans suffer adverse financial consequences as a result of seeking care, from lower credit scores to garnished wages. The challenge is only getting worse, as high deductible health plans are the fastest growing plan design in the U.S. 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. U.S. healthcare is frustrating and deeply flawed. Cedar’s mission is to drive better outcomes for everyone involved, including providers, insurance companies and the people they serve. At a time when consumer-friendly healthcare experiences are more critical than ever, our platform is uniquely equipped to solve problems that lead to billing issues and administrative waste. At Cedar, know that your work will have a meaningful impact on people’s lives. The Role Cedar is a patient payment and engagement platform that elevates the total patient experience beyond clinical care. Our platform leverages data science and technology to deliver modern intelligence to providers and simplify the healthcare experience for patients. We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead Cedar’s Platform Testing team. This team owns the systems, strategy, and developer experience that help Cedar ship high-quality software quickly and confidently. Cedar is moving toward a more service-oriented architecture while software delivery is also changing rapidly. Code volume is increasing, LLM-generated code is becoming more common, and system complexity is growing. Our testing strategy needs to evolve to meet that future. In this role, you will lead the transformation of Cedar’s testing ecosystem from a source of friction into a force multiplier for product stability and developer velocity. You will define and execute a strategy that helps engineers get faster, more meaningful feedback; reduces the cost and complexity of validation; and ensures our tests are clearly aligned to product capabilities and business outcomes. The first problems you will focus on include improving cost-effective QA environments for internal partners, building a better testing strategy for service-to-service validation, and solving gaps in model settings and entitlements testing. Over time, you will help Cedar move toward a future where intelligent automation, LLM-powered code review, and platform-level validation reduce manual review bottlenecks and improve confidence at scale. This is a hands-on leadership role. You will manage and grow a small team, work deeply with engineers, partner closely with stakeholders across Engineering, Product, Delivery, and Integrations, and help Cedar raise the bar for how we build and validate software. What You’ll Do • Lead Cedar’s Platform Testing team, including strategy, execution, talent development, and stakeholder alignment. • Develop and execute a testing platform roadmap that improves developer velocity, product reliability, and confidence in releases. • Partner with Staff Engineers and Architects to implement testing strategies as we move toward service-oriented architecture, including patterns for service-to-service validation, test environment strategy, and product-aligned coverage. • Improve the developer experience of testing by reducing slow feedback loops, lowering test environment friction, and making failures easier to understand and act on. • Own and evolve internal QA environment strategy, including cost-effective environments that support Delivery, Product, and Integrations partners during go-lives. • Drive solutions for testing model settings, entitlements, and other complex configuration-driven behavior. • Help reshape Cedar’s current testing approach into a deliberate strategy that balances unit, integration, end-to-end, contract, and environment-based testing. • Promote testing best practices across engineering through documentation, training, stakeholder engagement, and direct collaboration with product engineering teams. • Partner with engineering leaders, architects, product teams, and internal customers to understand pain points and translate them into clear platform investments. • Explore and apply LLM-powered workflows for code review, test generation, validation, and quality automation. • Manage and grow engineers on the team, including coaching, performance management, career development, and hiring. • Create a culture of high ownership, technical excellence, pragmatic decision-making, and continuous improvement.

You know when to build, when to simplify, when to downscope, and when a process or technical solution is not worth the cost. • You are excited about the future of software development in an LLM-driven world and have a point of view on how testing, review, and validation need to evolve. • You are collaborative, curious, and respectful. You listen first, ask good questions, and build trust before driving change. • You are not a pure process manager. You want to understand the details, diagnose problems, and help the team produce better technical outcomes. • You have a track record of identifying problems, proposing solutions, and driving meaningful improvements across a team or organization. • You enjoy teaching, coaching, and helping engineers adopt better practices. What We Look For • 5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful exposure to testing, developer experience, infrastructure, CI/CD, or platform engineering. • 2+ years of engineering management or technical leadership experience. • Experience building or operating systems that support software delivery, such as CI pipelines, test infrastructure, release tooling, internal platforms, or developer productivity systems. • Strong technical judgment and the ability to evaluate tradeoffs across reliability, cost, developer experience, and delivery speed. • Experience working with cross-functional stakeholders and translating ambiguous needs into concrete plans. • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write strategy documents, project proposals, and clear technical guidance. • Experience developing engineers through coaching, feedback, delegation, and career development. • A bias toward action and ownership in complex, evolving environments. Bonus Points • Experience with service-oriented architecture, contract testing, integration testing, or distributed systems validation. • Experience with Python, Django, Go, Kotlin, or large monorepos. • Experience with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or other CI/CD systems. • Experience with AWS, containers, Kubernetes, or cloud-based test environments. • Experience building internal platforms or self-service tooling for engineers. • Experience applying LLMs or AI-assisted workflows to software development, testing, review, or developer productivity. • Experience in healthcare, fintech, or another regulated domain where reliability and correctness matter. • Experience leading talks, workshops, focus groups, or internal training programs. What Success Looks Like In the first year, you will have developed a clear roadmap and strategy for Platform Testing, built strong alignment with stakeholders, grown talent on the team, and filled key team gaps through internal development or hiring. In the first six months, you will have made meaningful progress on three critical problems: • Cost-effective QA environments that support Delivery, Product, and Integrations partners with a user-friendly setup process. • A testing pipeline and management approach for model settings and entitlements. • A cohesive strategy for testing services as Cedar moves further into service-oriented architecture. Longer term, success means Cedar’s engineers ship faster with higher confidence, our validation strategy scales with system complexity, and Platform Testing becomes a critical enabler of Cedar’s reliability and competitive advantage.
