At Stedi, we’re rebuilding the technological backbone of the B2B economy. Trillions of dollars flow annually through a global network of commerce via an archaic protocol called Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), but there hasn’t been a major new EDI platform in decades.
In the healthcare sector, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) required that all insurance carriers exchange transactions such as claims, eligibility checks, prior authorizations, and enrollments using a standardized EDI format called X12 HIPAA. A small group of legacy clearinghouses process the majority of these transactions, offering consolidated connectivity to carriers and providers.
Stedi has lightning in a bottle: engineers and designers shipping products week in and week out; a lean business team to support the company’s infrastructure; passion for automation and eliminating toil; $71 million in funding from top investors like Stripe, Addition, USV, Bloomberg Beta, First Round Capital, and more.
As our first Technical Product Manager for Stedi Healthcare, you will be responsible for driving the functionality of our product based on the underlying technical requirements of standards such as X12 HIPAA, NCPDP, CAQH CORE, and more (experience with these standards is preferred but not required). You will dive deep in each relevant area in order to distill and synthesize all requirements into actionable tickets for the engineering team, and work closely with engineers, customers, standards bodies, and technical partners to further perfect our product’s implementation of the standards.
For the right person, EDI is the ultimate puzzle: a set of interlocking technical standards that drive the entire global economy. This is a role that requires a knack for solving complex, long-running puzzles paired with a maniacal attention to detail across many areas simultaneously. Most often, it involves distilling relevant standards PDFs that are 500+ pages in length into digestible, actionable GitHub tickets and Google docs for our internal engineering teams, and technical documentation for our customers.
We are looking for someone with a demonstrated ability to synthesize highly technical requirements with exceptional written clarity, and who views this sort of work not as a slog or a stepping stone to more glamorous product work, but rather like panning for gold: each time we uncover a way to programmatically enforce the standards (or even better, automatically fix noncompliance whenever possible), there is one less thing for our customers to have to worry about on their end – and one more thing for would-be competitors to have to build.
