Position: Backend Software Engineer

Sempre Health is bringing behavior-based, dynamic pricing to healthcare, beginning with medications.

Similar to a "good driver discount", insured patients can drive their own copays down with healthy behaviors. Through integrations with pharmacy systems and claims adjudicators, price is seamlessly delivered to patients at the point of fill. This increases access to care for the 1 in 3 patients who underutilize due to cost barriers and drive a disproportionate amount of spend.

We believe that bright people should work on the most important problems. Get in touch if you are excited to use technology for good, while building a digital health startup from the ground up.
