Software Engineer, New Grad 2026

Role Introduction

We are excited to bring a cohort of recent software engineering graduates to our technical team of roughly 50 engineers, product managers and designers. These two engineers will join teams who are working on the AI platform that will power internal care team tools and patient experiences, and the services and experiences that enable our patients to efficiently onboard, assess risk and get the appropriate screenings.

This new grad cohort (four in total) will be onboarded to Color’s systems and thoughtfully supported by senior engineers and leads as they learn the craft of software engineering. The engineering and product team will help you build skills in engineering design, code review best practices, testing best practices, observability best practices and collaboration skills with product & engineering peers.

Sample projects the cohort will contribute to

• Embed AI-driven automation into care workflows to significantly increase care team capacity without sacrificing quality
