Data Engineer - Underwriting API

About Arlo

Arlo powers healthcare innovation through modern underwriting technology. Small and medium-sized businesses have long seen little innovation in their health plan options and are hit with ever-increasing healthcare costs. As a technology-forward MGU (managing general underwriter), we use modern data science techniques to help health plan architects design novel health plans and leverage value-based care. Our mission is to bring affordable, value-based health benefits to employees of small and medium-sized businesses nationwide.

Arlo’s founding team has extensive experience in claims analytics, data science, benefits administration systems, and health plan underwriting. Arlo’s team members previously worked at Palantir, Willis Towers Watson, McKinsey, and a Y-Combinator startup. Arlo has raised a $4M seed round from Upfront Ventures, 8VC, and General Catalyst.

At Arlo, we value diverse opinions and debate. We are team-focused learners and seek to understand the missing perspective. Our team is collaborative, ambitious, and passionate about advancing the future of healthcare.

We are looking for a motivated team member to join us locally in NYC.
