# We're building a new healthcare clearinghouse
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. A small group of legacy clearinghouses process the majority of these transactions, offering consolidated connectivity to carriers and providers.
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.
Stedi has 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
We are hiring a commercial counsel with high potential who is excited to grow with the business. You will own a large share of our customer contracting work, trading partner agreements with payers, and key vendor contracts. You will work closely with the Head of Legal and regularly partner with company leadership and teams across the business. You will also scale and improve the processes and tools that let a lean team move quickly while operating comfortably within our risk profile. Relevant domain experience is, of course, preferred, but we hire for trajectory. If you bring excellent judgment and work ethic, strong writing, and the ability to pick up new subject matter quickly, we want to talk, especially if you are eager to use AI and other technology to raise the quality and speed of the work.
## What you'll do
At Stedi, we're looking for people who are deeply curious and aligned to our ways of working. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't perfectly match the job description.
