Solutions Architect

Abacus Insights is a mission-driven, start-up technology company that is focused on improving health outcomes, lowering the cost of healthcare, and delivering a more seamless healthcare experience.  At our core, we are passionate about advancing healthcare and improving people’s lives through technology.

Abacus Insights provides a flexible, efficient, and secure platform that organizes and exchanges data from various sources and formats, allowing healthcare companies to uncover differentiated insights that address their customers’ needs.  Our employees know that they play an active role in keeping our customers’ data safe and are responsible for ensuring that our comprehensive policies and practices are met. 

With our deep expertise in cloud-enabled technologies and knowledge of the healthcare industry, we have built an innovative data integration and management platform that allows healthcare payers’ access to data that has been historically siloed and inaccessible.  Through our platform, these health insurance payers can ingest and manage all the data they need to transform their business by supporting their analytical, operational, and financial needs.

Through this mission and passion to aid people and population health, we have built a highly successful SaaS business that is heavily funded (since our founding in 2017 we have over $81 million) by leading VC firms who have deep expertise in the healthcare and technology industries.  At Abacus, we are solving problems of massive scale and complexity in an industry that is not only ripe for disruption but requires innovation.
