Position Summary

Judi Health is building the technology infrastructure our nation needs to deliver the healthcare we deserve. The Architecture organization is responsible for the technical foundation the rest of the company builds o n: the standards, patterns, and infrastructure that engineering teams use to move fast and build efficiently . The Caching team sits within Architecture's Core Platform function, owning the data access layer across the entire platform.

As a Staff Engineer in Architecture, your influence extends beyond what you ship directly. The standards you set, the patterns you establish , and the decisions you document become the reference point for how caching is approached across the organization .

Claims processing, eligibility, accumulations, and prior authorizations drive highly interconnect ed , high-volume workflows where maintaining a consistent view of data across the platform is a significant architectural challenge. Decisions around caching, invalidation, and state propagation directly impact both performance and correctness, particularly where the cost of a stale or incorrect read is high. You will be directly respons ible for defining consistency contracts, designing invalidation patterns, and balancing correctness and performance across a domain with varying tolerance for stale data.

One of your first major initiatives will be architecting the caching strategy for our most critical domain: claims adjudication. This is a deeply embedded engagement. You will work directly within the domain by reviewing and analyzing real claims data and processing workflows to understand the caching and consistency requirements . This data flows across systems throughout the platform, directly influencing critical workflows including prior authorization, reporting, and member experience.

Position Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate the caching infrastructure that serves as the data access layer for one of the most complex domain models in American healthcare
• Own the full life

[…]
essing domains — payments, financial services, insurance, or healthcare — where data correctness and timeliness have measurable downstream consequences

• Familiarity with database replication and change data capture as mechanisms for cache invalidation and maintaining consistency with the source of truth
• Systems-level programming experience in Rust, Go, or C/C++, particularly for performance-critical infrastructure components
• Proficiency in Python for infrastructure tooling, automation, or service development
• Experience with AWS / GCP for managed caching, database, and streaming service s
• Open-source contributions, technical publications, or conference presentations in distributed systems or infrastructure
