Sana’s vision is simple yet bold: make healthcare easy.
We all know navigating healthcare in the U.S. is confusing, costly, and frustrating -- and our members are used to feeling that pain. That’s why we’re building something different: affordable health plans designed around Sana Care, our integrated care model connecting members with unlimited primary care and expert care navigation at no additional cost to them.
Whether it’s a quick prescription refill or guidance through a complex medical journey, Sana Care makes it feel effortless to get the right care at the right time. And for employers and brokers, we’ve built intuitive tools to make managing health benefits just as seamless.
Sana is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our small but growing team. In this role, you’ll directly influence how small businesses and their employees access affordable, high-quality care. We’re looking for someone who has demonstrated the ability to build, deploy, and maintain high-quality applications. You understand and use automated testing and know how to write clean, readable code. You are someone looking to push the boundaries of delivering convenient, simple, and personalized high-quality health benefits and care. If you’re ready to help thousands of members navigate the healthcare system with fewer headaches and lower costs, let’s talk!
We work primarily in Ruby on Rails and JavaScript but are open to those with differing backgrounds. You should have a solid understanding of how to build software that goes beyond the ability to use these tools.

About Sana
Founded in 2017, Sana is a health plan solution built for small and midsize businesses — designed around our integrated primary care service, Sana Care. It’s the foundation of everything we build: ensuring members can easily access high-quality, affordable care while employers and brokers have the tools they need to manage company benefits with confidence.
We’ve been remote-first since day one, with a fully distributed team across the U.S. We value curiosity, ownership, and speed — and we build in the open, together. If you’re energized by solving complex, meaningful problems and want to help reshape how healthcare works from the inside out, we’d love to meet you.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
