Plume is a mission-driven, trans-founded company focused on radically increasing access to healthcare for the transgender and gender-nonconforming communities. Our vision is to transform healthcare for every trans life and build a virtual care home for the trans community.

As a rapidly expanding organization, we are now proudly available to more than 1 million transgender individuals in 45 states. We are an organization formed through the lived experience of trans people and fierce allies, and we welcome other heart-forward, talented individuals to join our team on this journey.

Our Values:

We Are Authentic: We opt for honest and direct conversations. We strive to be vulnerable and connect authentically.

We Are Accountable: We follow up and commit to each other within the community and to ourselves.

We Are Growth-Oriented: We take the initiative, we’re proactive learners, and we tackle new challenges.

We Are Inclusive: We’re considerate of working across diverse experiences. Every voice is valuable in serving our vision. We have an unusual bias for seeking input.

We Are Collaborative: We put “we” before I, we stay engaged and communicative when we disagree, and we can commit even if we’re not in complete agreement.

We Are Trans-Informed: We ask “why?” and distrust the status quo. We honor awkwardness & experimentation over polish and how things have always been done.

If our mission & values align with your own, you’re a Principal Engineer with experience scaling fast-paced healthtech startups, and you have a particular affinity for the trans experience, read on!
