What is Rima
We believe healthcare should prevent disease, not just treat it.
Rima's mission is to improve population health by enabling health plan creators - brokers, TPAs, and self-insured employers - to shift economics from treatment toward prevention, while increasing the patient’s agency. This is both a moral imperative and a business opportunity.
Rima is building the operating system for self-insured health plans, enabling brokers to evolve into plan creators. We envision a system where creators can tune the economics, plan designs, and member experiences of their health plan to the deepest needs of their population in real time.
We’re a small, remote-friendly, fast-moving team based in NYC and New Orleans. We are all in.
Product Engineering
Build and ship features across our two core products:
NRoll — our enrollment and payroll processing platform where creators build health plans, manage benefits, deductions, and census data.
Rhythm — the member-facing, white labelable web and mobile app (iOS + Android) where employees access their benefits, improve their health, and get support.
Our stack: Next.js, TypeScript, React Native, Tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM, Payload CMS, Clerk, Resend (email), Intercom. You'll work across all of it.
HRIS & Payroll Integrations
This is where the domain gets interesting. You'll build and maintain connections to payroll systems like ADP, Paycor, Paycom, PrismHR, and iSolved; mapping census files, processing deduction configurations, and handling the messy reality of employer data. If you've ever integrated with a third-party API that has inconsistent documentation and unpredictable edge cases, you know the work.
Platform & Quality
Improve our CI/CD pipeline, write meaningful tests, strengthen observability (Sentry, Amplitude), and help us maintain SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance. We care about shipping reliably.
Minimum Qualifications
4+ years building with TypeScript and React in production.
Proven track record of shipping complex, user-facing features end-to-end, from database schema to API to UI, not just contributing to parts of a feature someone else designed
Demonstrated ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced environment: you've made architectural decisions with incomplete information, owned the outcome, and iterated when things didn't work
Deep experience integrating with third-party APIs in production, including building resilient handling for inconsistent data, partial failures, and underdocumented endpoints. Bonus if those APIs were in payroll, HRIS, insurance, or fintech.
Nice to have
Domain experience in healthcare, payroll, insurance or finance software.
Experience with agentic systems, event-driven architectures, schema registries, EDI/FHIR/HL7.
Experience applying LLMs to antiquated systems.
Experience working with and mentoring outsourced development teams.
Track record of using AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) to meaningfully accelerate your output.
You've built or maintained SOC 2 or HIPAA-compliant systems and understand the engineering implications
What you'll do
Product Eng (~50%)
Design and deliver modular TypeScript services and React Native features.
Define versioned API contracts, auth, pagination and ship backward-compatible changes.
Model data and run safe migrations in Postgres, use Redis for cache/queues.
Engineer resilience: idempotency keys, retries with jitter, timeouts, circuit breakers, rate limits.
Write the right tests (unit/integration/contract/E2E) and short, surgical design docs/ADRs.
Integrations (~25%)
Build and own connectors to payroll systems, insurance EDI feeds, and vendor app feeds (webhooks, sandboxes, replay/DLQ).
Normalize messy partner payloads to canonical models; maintain versioned adapters and deprecation paths.
Track success-rate/latency SLOs; drive incidents to ground with partners.
Platform & Quality (~25%)
Security as architecture: PII minimization, envelope encryption with rotation, least-privilege IAM, purpose-of-use audit trails, and break-glass workflows. HIPAA/SOC 2 ready by design.
Improve CI/CD reliability, strengthen observability (Sentry, Amplitude), and keep the deployment pipeline (dev → staging → production) fast and trustworthy.
How we work
Cross-functional collaboration. You work directly with engineering, product, and sales to deliver customer outcomes.
High ownership. You own customer success end-to-end, no hand-offs or "not my problem."
Direct customer contact. You are the technical face of Rima for key customers; you run discovery, solution architecting, and debug sessions.
Crisp communication. You write short design docs, clear postmortems, and actionable bug reports.
Fast iteration. We ship incrementally, learn from customers, and improve rapidly.
Results over process. We care about what gets shipped and how well it works, not how many meetings you attended.
Why work at Rima
Real impact, fast. You'll own high-impact implementations and integrations that go live with real customers within weeks, not quarters.
Technical ownership. You own problems end-to-end. No hand-offs, no bureaucracy, just you, the problem, and the authority to fix it.
Build the category. Preventive care plans are an emerging space. You'll help define how this infrastructure gets built and scaled.
Work with excellent people. Small team, high trust, direct communication. We care about results, not politics.
Learn rapidly. You'll touch the full stack: payroll systems, benefits administration, integrations, data pipelines, customer operations, and product strategy.
Competitive Comp and Benefits. Base salary ranges from $120,000 - $200,000, with opportunity for higher total comp package.
Path to Meaningful Equity. Employees hold a majority of the company shares. Our intention is to remain generous with employee ownership.
