About this role
Sr. Software Engineer
Fifteen years ago, we knew there had to be a better way.
Back then choosing benefits meant sifting through piles of paper, not having the resources to understand or compare plans and then hoping you picked the right one. That’s why when we launched Benefitfocus, we had one goal: to give people the knowledge, options and freedom to protect what they love most. This idea is what has propelled Benefitfocus to become the most trusted benefits management platform in the world.
It’s not just technology. It’s peace of mind.
