Why work at Boulder?

• Make a difference. The devastating impact of the opioid crisis, "war on drugs," and care gaps for the underserved are at the forefront now more than any time in US history. By bringing care to more people, we are changing and saving lives. Value-based partnerships help move the industry forward toward a more modern, compassionate, and equitable healthcare system.

Boulder's clinical teams are the leading voices in addiction medicine and industry transformation. Our technology leadership has built products and services that scaled to hundreds of employees and hundreds of millions of end-users. Our team is wholly driven by mission, recognizing that our immense opportunity is also our duty to serve others.
• Grow with us. Boulder is a Series-C-stage, venture-funded company supported by a world-class investor group. Together, we're building a breakthrough business through social impact. According to White House estimates, the annual societal cost due to opioid addiction is $1.5 trillion. A member with untreated opioid use disorder (OUD) drives 620% greater healthcare costs to payers than the average member (Optum analysis, 2017). Boulder partners with leading commercial and Medicaid health plans to bring better experiences and effective services to their members, significantly reducing costs and sharing in the economic savings we create.
