About the role

Thatch is rewiring how health benefits work. We build software that gives employees real control over how they use their benefits.

We’re looking for a Backend Software Engineer to design and build the core systems that power Thatch. This includes data models, fund flows, automations, and integrations that make healthcare benefits work reliably at scale. Your work ensures money moves correctly, benefits remain compliant, and complex processes work reliably. This work touches real money and real healthcare decisions. The systems you build must be correct, resilient, and built to scale.

We organize engineering around the people we serve: members, employers, and partners, so teams own end-to-end experiences and ship with speed and accountability.

About the role

Thatch is rewiring how health benefits work. We build software that gives employees real control over how they use their benefits.

We’re looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to own the reliability, security, and performance of the platform that powers Thatch. Every product team depends on the infrastructure you design and operate.

Our platform runs in a HIPAA-compliant environment and handles sensitive healthcare data. Reliability and security are foundational. The systems you build must be secure, observable, and resilient under real-world load.

We organize engineering around product teams that serve members, employers, and partners. The Infrastructure team builds and operates the platform that enables them to ship reliably.

What you will do

• Own infrastructure health, performance, and reliability across the stack.
• Make architectural decisions and improve how we build and operate.
• Design and evolve infrastructure using Terraform.
• Improve CI/CD, deployments, and developer workflows so teams ship faster.
• Strengthen security across access controls, vulnerability management, and dependencies.
• Identify and eliminate reliability risks before they impact customers.

What we are looking for

• Experience operating production infrastructure, platform, DevOps, or SRE systems.
• A track record of owning critical systems end-to-end.
• Strong experience with PostgreSQL or comparable relational databases in production.
• Experience managing infrastructure as code using Terraform.
• Sound judgment across reliability, performance, and security tradeoffs.
• A bias toward automation and improving developer productivity.

We hire engineers across multiple levels and care most about the scope you’ve owned, the impact you’ve had, and how you make decisions.

Tools and tech stack

• Ruby on Rails
• PostgreSQL
• Terraform
• Modern cloud infrastructure and CI/CD tooling

You don’t need experience with every tool above. You do need to be able to operate systems responsibly in a regulated environment.

Experience that stands out

• Experience operating in HIPAA or SOC 2 environments.
• Deep PostgreSQL performance tuning or replication management.
• Building internal tooling that improves developer productivity.
• Improving observability, incident response, or overall security posture.

What to expect

We aim to move quickly, and most candidates complete the process within 2–3 weeks. The interview process typically includes:

• An initial conversation with a recruiter.
• A collaborative pair programming session.
• A systems or infrastructure design discussion.
• A conversation with members of the engineering team.
• A final conversation with engineering and company leadership.

• Instrument product surfaces to understand user behavior and identify opportunities for improvement. 
• Design, test, and iterate on changes that improve conversion.
• Work closely with product, design, and cross-functional partners to ship solutions.
• Contribute to systems that support engagement and lifecycle messaging.

What we are looking for

• Experience building and shipping production web applications across the stack.
• Strong product judgment and comfort working through ambiguity.
• Ability to reason about user behavior and use data to inform decisions.
• Experience owning features end-to-end.
• Track record of cross-functional collaboration and good technical decision-making.

We care most about the scope you’ve owned, the impact you’ve had, and how you make decisions.

Tools and tech stack

• Ruby on Rails.
• React and TailwindCSS.
• Mixpanel, Segment, Braze.

Experience that stands out

• Work on onboarding, activation, or engagement-focused product areas.
• Experience at an early-stage or high-growth company.

What to expect

We aim to keep the process thoughtful and efficient. Most candidates complete it within about three weeks. You can expect:

• An initial conversation with a recruiter.
• A conversation with the hiring manager.
• A collaborative pair programming session, followed by a systems design interview and a separate conversation with one of our engineering managers about how we work together.
• A final conversation with engineering and company leadership.

About the role

Thatch is rewiring how health benefits work. We build software that powers employer-funded coverage and gives employees real control over how they use their benefits.

We’re looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer to own broad product surfaces, from concept to production. You’ll build across the frontend and backend systems that power onboarding, benefits management, and payments. This work touches real money and real healthcare decisions. Correctness and reliability matter, but so does making the experience feel simple for the people using it.

We organize engineering around the people we serve: members, employers, and partners, so teams own end-to-end experiences and ship with speed and accountability.

What you'll do

• Take ownership of meaningful product areas from idea through production.
• Ship quickly, but never at the expense of correctness or long-term maintainability.
• Contribute across the stack, from user-facing interfaces to backend services.
• Translate real user and business needs into clear, pragmatic technical solutions.
• Set and uphold a high bar for code quality, system design, and product polish.
• Take responsibility for production systems, including reliability, debugging, and continuous improvement. 

What we are looking for

• Experience building and shipping production web applications across the stack.
• Strong product judgment and comfort working through ambiguity.
• Ability to reason about complex systems and business logic.
• Familiarity with modern engineering tools and frameworks.
• A track record of ownership, cross-functional collaboration, and good technical decision-making.

We hire engineers across multiple levels and care most about the scope you’ve owned, the impact you’ve had, and how you make decisions.

Tools and tech stack
