Position Overview

Highlight Health offers a collaborative environment that fosters your learning and development. You will be encouraged to bring your ideas to the table, and you will find that your suggestions are valued as we strive to continually enhance our healthcare claims data processes.

We are building a new claims intelligence platform from the ground up. You would join the build team and help launch the product.

Highlight Health aims to extend summer interns into the school year and transition the right candidates into full-time positions.

What You'll Do

• Testing and QA: Execute test cases against the platform. Verify functions, UI behavior, and workflow transitions. Document and report bugs with clear reproduction steps. Participate in validation against real claims data.


• Documentation and project coordination: Keep the project wiki and sprint board current. Capture meeting notes and action items. Draft workflow diagrams, process descriptions, and user guides. Help ensure every story has acceptance criteria and reflects current status.


• Claims domain: Shadow the claims team to understand how claims move from intake through repricing through delivery. Participate in review sessions. Help prepare sample data for demos and pilot validation.


• Platform operations: Support the reference data update cycle when CMS publishes new rates. Coordinate UAT between engineering and claims analysts. Assist with onboarding documentation for new team members.
