Full Job Description
WE'RE BUILDING A NEW HEALTHCARE CLEARINGHOUSE Stedi is building the first new healthcare clearinghouse in decades. In the healthcare sector, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) requires that all insurance payers exchange transactions such as claims, eligibility checks, prior authorizations, and remittances using a standardized EDI format called X12 HIPAA. Clearinghouses process the majority of these transactions, offering consolidated connectivity to carriers and providers. Until Stedi, the space was occupied entirely by a small group of legacy players, built on outdated, often pre-internet technology. Stedi is the world's only programmable healthcare clearinghouse. By offering modern API interfaces alongside traditional real-time and batch EDI processes, we enable both healthcare technology businesses and established players to exchange mission-critical transactions. Our clearinghouse product and customer-first approach have set us apart. Stedi was ranked by Ramp https://ramp.com/velocity/top-saas-vendors-on-ramp-march-2026 as one of the fastest-growing SaaS vendors. We have lightning in a bottle: engineers and designers shipping products week in and week out; a lean business team supporting the company’s infrastructure; passion for automation and eliminating toil; $142 million in funding from top investors like Stripe, Addition, USV, Bloomberg Beta, First Round Capital, and more.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR As Stedi continues to scale rapidly, we're competing against legacy players whose defense has been centered on complexity and opacity. We're winning, and our growth is creating legal and regulatory questions where precedent is limited and a standard approach doesn’t always exist. We're looking for a General Counsel to own the questions that arise in this context, turning regulatory uncertainty i
