About Fortuna Health

We believe accessing healthcare should be as simple as doing your taxes on TurboTax. But for the millions on Medicaid, it’s not.

People lose coverage because of administrative barriers—like missing a notice and incorrect documentation. 60–70% of disenrollments in Medicaid happen for these procedural reasons. These are avoidable errors caused by fragmented systems, not ineligibility.

Fortuna Health is redefining the consumer experience for Medicaid. We’re helping millions navigate Medicaid end-to-end from eligibility and enrollment to renewing coverage. We're backed by a16z, BoxGroup, YC, and top healthcare angels.

We believe this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to dramatically improve the human condition for 90M people, and we need the help of high-throughput, growth-minded builders to make it happen.

About the role

What you'll do

As an early engineering hire at Fortuna, you'll play a huge role in shaping the direction and culture of the company. We work fully in-person 5 days a week out of our NYC office, and strongly believe in the value of a focused, supportive, and tight-knit team.

Your primary duty will be to build the product, which will mostly entail fast-paced engineering work. However, you'll likely wear a number of different hats as we iterate, including design, marketing, operations, and customer experience.

What we're looking for

Product Mindset
Our philosophy is that engineers should lead product. We are fundamentally building a consumer product for the masses. As such, we are looking for an engineer who is more motivated by building a great consumer-first product than by deeply exploring interesting technology.

Ownership
There's plenty of greenfield, exploratory work to be done. We need someone to be able to take an ambiguous problem and run with it. As we gain traction with specific product ideas, we would want you to truly own the whole product, not just the code.

Technical Velocity
We are looking for a rockstar engineer, someone who is nimble and can move fast while maintaining a sufficiently high level of code quality so that things don't fall apart. It's important to understand best practices and technical end goals so that trade-offs can be appropriately weighed as we are building.

Respectful Disagreement
We believe it's crucial to be able to openly disagree with anyone on the team. We are looking for someone who doesn't shy away from conflict, but is respectful and empathetic in their approach and always open to different ideas.

Humility
It's important to be able to admit when you're wrong. We are looking for a low-ego teammate who is able to take failures in stride and grow from them.
