Cedar is looking to solve the business and technical problem of improving the checkout flow for Cedar Pay and the orchestration and business rules that shape their payment experiences.
Requirements
- 8+ years of professional software development experience with a strong backend focus (APIs, services, event-driven systems)
- A proven force multiplier who raises standards across teams through patterns, reviews, tooling, and mentorship
- Experience leading large, cross-team initiatives or refactors; exposure to systems like workflow/rules engines or ledgering/financial correctness is a plus
- Skilled at balancing near-term needs with long-term investments; communicates tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical partners
- Strong sense of accountability, comfortable with ambiguity, and motivated by improving the healthcare financial experience
- Payments experience is a plus, not a requirement
- Experience with workflow/rules engines or ledgering/financial correctness is a plus
Responsibilities
- Lead and multiply: Unlock the productivity of the team through strong patterns, high-signal design/code reviews, mentorship, and clear documentation.
- Evolve checkout & workflows: Drive the next generation of our checkout experience and workflow capabilities (e.g., plans, refunds, schedules), making them easier to extend and personalize over time.
- Simplify & standardize: Replace ad-hoc paths with scalable designs and clear interfaces so features can be configured safely across customers without bespoke work.
- Reduce thrash, increase focus: Establish simple operating practices—lightweight design briefs, intake/prioritization, and decision records—so customer-driven requests don’t derail long-term work.
- Balance priorities well: Partner with Product, Design, Commercial/Sales, Support, and Payment Platform to align on goals, explain tradeoffs, and keep the team moving.
- Build vs buy with intent: Evaluate vendor options and platform abstractions in collaboration with Payment Platform to reduce cost and complexity.
- Advocate for reliability & operability: Ensure the checkout experience is observable, resilient, and easy to support.
