About the job
GENERAL MEDICINE HAS RAISED $120M IN SERIES B FUNDING TO BUILD THE HEALTHCARE STORE.
The round was led by Vineeta Agarwala, MD, PhD, of Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), and is the largest investment to date from a16z's bio + health team. Read the announcement. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/general-medicine-raises-120-million-to-build-the-healthcare-store-302899356.html
Healthcare needs a store. People should be able to see prices, understand their options, and get advice from clinicians as easily as they shop for anything else. That's what we're building, and this Series B will help us expand the store and reach more customers across the United States.
To learn more, read CEO TJ Parker's post on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7513259806867185664/ and the a16z team's post on Substack https://www.a16z.news/p/investing-in-general-medicine.
If this sounds interesting, we're hiring. Help us build the store.
About General Medicine
General Medicine is building a healthcare store that makes it radically simpler — and more transparent — for people to access care. We provide upfront cash and insurance prices for visits, prescriptions, labs, imaging, and more.
Behind that simplicity is complex infrastructure: payer integrations, pricing logic, eligibility systems, reconciliation workflows, and financial rails.
We’re building the systems that make transparent healthcare possible.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for strong engineers to help us build a seamless and beautiful consumer healthcare product. We’re looking for folks who will obsess over every detail of our patient experience, and also tackle the complex operational challenges of delivering care at scale. We are looking for engineers who care deeply about technical excellence but are also comfortable moving quickly — we are constantly navigating tradeoffs between engineering velocity and quality.
Our ideal candidate is hungry, high-agency, and aspires to be a generalist. Our engineers frequently write product requirements documents, write SQL to understand how features are performing, and own QA — no task is beneath us or outside of the scope of the role if it helps us to deliver a great product. We're looking for someone who can operate in an environment of significant ambiguity, and who is comfortable working closely with design, operations, and clinical stakeholders.
We don’t expect you to have a healthcare background (though it’s great if you do!). However, you should be excited by the prospect of digging into the messy complexities of the American healthcare system (integrating with EHRs, revenue cycle management, etc).
Qualifications
- 4+ years of experience building web apps as a full-stack engineer
- Experience with modern infra tooling and programming languages. We currently use AWS, Ruby on Rails, and NextJS, and would expect you to have proficiency in a modern tech stack even if it isn’t the one we are using.
Please note that this role is based in our Boston office (Central Square, Cambridge). We are hybrid 3x a week.
Compensation: Base is between 150-225k annually + equity options.
Why join us
We’re an experienced team that has built a company in this space before, our product has clear product-market fit, and we’ve raised money from top investors.
We have an ambitious and distinctive vision for what can be built in consumer healthcare. We believe LLMs and price transparency legislation have opened up several massive opportunities.
If you’re an ambitious and entrepreneurial software engineer and this resonates, please apply.
