Senior Software Engineer - Payments Architecture

About Venteur At Venteur, we're dedicated to transforming healthcare in America. Our mission is to empower individuals to take control of the trillions of dollars spent on their behalf but often decided by human resources and brokers. We believe this will lead to better outcomes for all individuals. 
The market transformation is just starting.  As we saw 40 years ago with the transition from company-controlled retirement (pensions) to individual-empowered retirement (401ks), new regulation has enabled healthcare to make the same transition from group plans to an individual focused solution – an Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA).  Through our technology-led offering, our platform changes how businesses offer health benefits, and how employees are empowered to truly prioritize wellness and longevity. 
We're seeking passionate individuals who thrive on exploration and learning to join us on this journey.  With an early-stage startup, opportunities for career growth and advancement are immense along with the financial benefits of being an early employee of a future giant in technology.  If you're a problem solver with empathetic communication skills, we want you to help us pave the way towards a healthier, more personalized future. Join Venteur and be part of something truly transformative! 
Our Values At Venteur, we believe that our culture is our strength. That's why we encourage the following values across our entire organization.  
- Approach Every Situation with Kindness - Bias for Action - Say “Yes” to the Hard Things - Insist on the Highest Standards - Strive for Empathy and Create Shared Understandings - Leave the Campsite Better than When You Found it - Earn Trust — and Keep It - Have Each Other’s Back
