What You'll Do
  • Design and build core backend systems including APIs, database architecture, infrastructure, and data pipelines.
  • Own features end-to-end-from requirement gathering and technical spec creation through deployment and iteration.
  • Collaborate closely with product and engineering leadership to shape technical decisions and long-term platform direction.
  • Work in a fast-moving environment that values experimentation, rapid release cycles, and constant learning.
  • Contribute to a platform designed to improve clinical workflows and enhance the healthcare experience for providers and patients.

    • APIs: REST/gRPC/GraphQL
    • Data pipelines: Airflow, Dagster, or similar
    • Languages: Python, Golang, Java/Kotlin, or similar
  • Experience building something meaningful from scratch-whether at a startup, as a technical lead, or through side projects.
  • Ability to thrive in ambiguity, move quickly, and make thoughtful technical trade-offs.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to articulate technical decisions clearly.
Nice-to-Have Experience
  • Experience with BaaS platforms like Supabase, Firebase, Railway, or Hasura.
  • Familiarity with AI-native coding tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code).
  • Exposure to healthcare systems (HIPAA, EPCS, PDMP, EHR/EMR workflows).
  • Basic front-end skills with React, TypeScript, or Next.js.
Compensation & Benefits

Compensation is competitive and based on experience and location. Total rewards may include base salary, performance incentives, benefits, and equity participation.
