Staff Engineer

Unlock Healthcare's Full CapacityHospitals run on three things: their people, their beds, and their supplies… and all are still managed with spreadsheets, phone calls, and gut instinct. Vitalize is building the system that runs it all intelligently, starting with labor — the biggest cost (nearly 60% of a hospital's P&L) and the hardest operational problem.We're building the labor and capacity operating system for health systems — forecasting demand, matching the right staff to it automatically, and coordinating patients across the hospital.The impact is real: we save hospitals millions in unnecessary labor spend, give clinical leaders back 10–20 hours every week, and are often the reason staff and leaders stay. This isn't a nice-to-have: our customers pay 5–15× more than legacy incumbents because Vitalize is mission-critical software their hospitals rely on every single minute.We've raised over $32M from top investors, and even our own customers.Company Values — What We Look ForWe hire and grow everyone against the same four values.
