Engineers at Garner solve tough healthcare data challenges, build products impacting millions, and thrive in a fast-paced startup environment. We value ownership, learning, and collaboration, without corporate red tape.
Our tech analyzes billions of medical records to rank healthcare providers objectively and makes these insights available for everyday users. Your work here improves healthcare — one line of code at a time.
At Garner, you'll own projects end-to-end and drive innovation daily:
“I had a chance to work on a project to increase our direct deposit adoption rate, and I think that mattered a lot to our members. We had a lot of people who were struggling to use direct deposit, even if they wanted to. We were able to simplify the sign-in process and nearly double the percentage of our members who were using direct deposit.”
“I was really excited at the chance to build out our Referrals product from zero to one with a couple of other fantastic engineers.”
“I helped with integrating telehealth providers into the app. I think it really opens up our app to people who potentially wouldn't have been able to go see these providers in person.”
“I worked on improving search, which is a core piece of the Garner product. I improved the full text search for care goals, improved fuzzy match searches, added the ability to search from your current location on mobile devices, and built a system for storing and displaying online booking links.”
“This is the first place I’ve been where we’re using Kubernetes to its full potential. We have a service mesh and engineers who understand it. We’ve been able to write custom controllers and take the time to automate stuff with custom resource definitions. Everything is codified and automatic, and engineers can roll back and self-service.”
We leave code, systems, and practices better than we found them, through clean commits, low-risk changes, proactive refactoring, and thoughtful use of tooling.
We leave ego at the door to judge ideas on substance. Title or seniority aren’t inputs to technical decisions, cultivating cross-team contributions, proactive sharing, and unbiased reviews.
We ship early and often, collect metrics from day 0, and use the data to course correct.
We are builders: when work repeats, we automate it, build self-service tools, and free ourselves to solve harder problems.
Security is a first-class design principle. Our members’ and families' data are in our systems. This isn't just a professional responsibility; it's personal.
We write technical information for competent engineers, and we expect technical leadership to keep up. We proactively convert oral tradition into documentation.
“The team treats even innocuous-looking security issues as urgent and important work. Considering the space that we’re in and the data that we’re working with, this is our number one responsibility. Our team has a really thorough and security-first mindset toward how we operate.”
“The engineers know that whenever there's something that can be improved, they can just fix it. They don't have to ask anyone or wait for permission.”
“People go the extra mile to make sure that what we're putting out is really high quality, well understood, and that we are working toward the same thing as a team.”
“We make things 1% better. I’ve been at a lot of places where there is paralyzing tech debt. We have a really good balance where we make small steps, try little experiments, and get better to where we want to be. And that adds up over time.”
“Our leadership is really technical and interested in the specifics of the work. When we are deep diving into our projects, we’re able to screen share code and design docs, rather than Powerpoints. It’s really cool getting direct feedback from somebody who seems to get it.”

“Garner is very easily the company I’ve learned the most at, as an Engineer. I get a lot of autonomy and a lot of responsibility for my level. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that Garner is full of really smart people who care about me and nudge me towards opportunities where I will learn something.”
“I was looking for a place where I could really take on impactful work. I was pleased to find that I was given ownership of important things, which was really huge to me. I think that also helped my quick career growth at Garner.”
“Throughout my career, I was working on being a better engineer and being better at my craft. And Garner is a great place to do that. I feel challenged. There are really good engineers here.”
“Something that’s been really exciting for me is that the growth hasn’t seemed to have slowed down or stopped. In fact, I think it’s gotten faster. There are lots of chances to develop your skills, move up, and work on things that are really impactful for our members. And you get to work with a lot of passionate people, and that’s a lot of fun.”
“It was really important to me to grow my breadth of knowledge and be a generalist. There was always an opportunity to find a thing I was interested in and push myself to it. That’s helped me grow a lot as an IC and to the Staff level. There is an attitude of rewarding success with more opportunities. And now, pivoting my career to managing people, I still have support and new opportunities along the way."
