Mending is a team of healthcare nerds, software engineers, product designers, direct primary care doctors, health insurance experts, and more. We are building a healthcare system that makes sense, starting by redefining the role of health insurance – one that focuses on reducing friction for doctors and patients, and investing in ways to create more meaningful doctor-patient relationships.
We’re looking for a motivated and impact-oriented Product Engineer to join our small team of 5. Your primary focus will be building data pipelines and backend systems that automate and improve workflows for patients, providers, and internal operations.
You will be instrumental in ensuring seamless interactions from efficient patient support and operational workflows to reliable payment processing, which are powered by the robust systems you design and implement. As a key contributor, you will partner closely with internal stakeholders and external customers, translating insights into product requirements documents that directly drive your work.
Tech stack: Python (flask, temporal) on the backend, Nextjs/React on the frontend

Trialspark | Full-stack engineers, product designers, and more | New York City / NYC | Full time, ONSITE | https://www.trialspark.com
We're a software and technology company that helps accelerate the discovery of new drugs and medical treatments by reimagining the clinical trial process.
We've worked with a range of studies that have helped develop new treatments for diseases such as Ebola, Alzheimer's, and HIV. We are an early-stage company based in NYC looking to hire our first few employees to help us achieve our mission of bringing life saving treatments to patients faster. We offer competitive compensation packages (salary + equity) and benefits.
As an early stage employee, you'll be working directly with the founders and have a strong voice in product and technology decisions. You'll have ownership over large portions of the product and how it evolves. Ideally you have at least 2+ years of experience. For engineers specifically, you'll be working at all levels of the stack (flask/python + react/javascript).

Thanks! Still finalizing the payment details: I'm thinking about offering a choice between paying a flat fee and taking a fee. Would love to learn more about your specific situation: can you email me (email's in my profile)?
Tidery is a simple tool that makes collecting recurring payments easy. In less than five minutes and without writing any code, you can set up a page to start automatically charging customers on a recurring schedule (handled securely via Stripe).
Here's an example page for a student organization I help run (we're experimenting with this idea): https://tidery.com/yhack
I think this problem has become relatively manageable for developers, but still isn't as straightforward for non-developers or for people who want to test ideas quickly. I feel like this could open up a lot of creative exploration -- for devs testing out MVPs, for creatives to sell new products, for organizations to set up recurring tip jars or memberships, and more.
1. A lot of the existing services are clunky and their API offerings are hard (though not impossible!) to use -- making them hard to interface with online applications. But for the most part, these are accounting software suites designed for a general audience, with an API offered. If you have a lot of microtransactions to process, or your application requires some financial logic baked in (gift cards, marketplace payouts, detailed account receipts for a insurance/co-pay splits, etc), having an API can help greatly.
Additionally, our API is being designed with specific developer use cases in mind: general use cases like subscription billing, sane integrations with payment gateways like Stripe and Braintree, online invoicing, and tax reporting will be designed around online businesses and Saas applications. Again, software like QuickBooks is designed to be broadly used, and thus, may be harder for you to get started in (especially if you do not have an accountant handy). The API will always support general use (you can do whatever you want with the API!), but developer abstractions will be top-of-mind.
2, 3. I hear you and thank you for the concerns. These are all things that definitely need to be done before opening the product up.
4. Here are some benefits I see:
- real-time financial stats that are updated as the transactions are made, and not just whenever the transactions are reconciled — and can be used (and understand) by everyone from the CFO to the accountant to the engineers
- generate real-time account statements for users, just like your bank is able to provide you — you can control how much data you show to users using your own internal business logic
- a secure financial data store that you can send GET requests to whenever you need the data. Examples where I see this doing well include in-app currencies and credit systems, gift cards, managing marketplaces and seller payouts, managing receipts, showing users detailed account statements, sales tax management, etc.
- write scripts, perform analytics, and use the data/certain subsets of the data as you wish — it'll be much easier to export and analyze this data than with other software
- saves you engineering time from building your own financial infrastructure, or trying to hook it up to other accounting software suites
Hi, thanks for the comment! Taxes have not been added in yet, but will probably be a percentage value in the accounts object. This will then be used to automatically generate sales tax reports.
Friends/potential customers haven't asked for taxes yet so not all (crucial) features have been added in just yet. That's what this post is here to expose :) Are there any other glaring omissions you see?
Apologies on the delay. My thought was that items with the same tax rates could be grouped together in the same account so the tax rate doesn't need to be passed in when creating every entry. Does that make sense?
