ABOUT THIS POSITION

We're looking for a 3-Semester Application Engineer Co-Op who wants to help simplify and unify healthcare payments across the revenue cycle. We run an agile development team with weekly sprints to quickly deliver code to our clients. Our team prides itself on rapid development, so as a Co-Op, your code will make it to production many times during your term. That's right, at Waystar, our Co-Ops actually push code into production.

Working knowledge of Linux, MySQL and/or any object-oriented design (PHP, Java, .Net, Ruby) is a plus. But if you're missing one of those and you're eager to learn, we'll teach you what you need to know!

  • Languages: Golang/PHP7/Ruby/Javascript
  • Javascript Frameworks: AngularJS/VueJS
  • Database: MySQL
  • Deployment: Kubernetes on AWS, using Jenkins
  • Development Tools: Atlassian Suite (JIRA, Confluence, Bamboo)

As a Waystar engineer, its likely you'll touch them all. We're always evolving too, so maybe you'll help us add a new one to the list
