Backend Engineer

About Marble

Marble is fixing the youth mental health crisis by redefining what mental healthcare looks like in the AI era.


Last year, 1 in 10 teens attempted suicide. At the heart of this crisis is a severe lack of access to effective care - when kids & families can't get the help they need, problems compound and preventable tragedies follow.


We're fixing that by building the AI-native platform that provides affordable & timely access to truly effective care. Our platform:

• Brings together guardians, schools, therapists & insurers to collaborate together
• Has AI powered products for each of these stakeholders to surface the right info & give them the tools to be effective
• Extends the reach of care to support kids 24/7 through our patient companion, "Marty"

We're an early-stage, fast-moving team. The people who join now will shape who we are & who we become, not just what we build but how we build.

About the Role

This is an early backend-leaning generalist role where you'll own truly life-changing products end-to-end. You'll work across an AI-first platform, whether that's building the school-facing product that connects students to care, the therapist product that makes clinicians more effective, Marty (our AI-powered patient companion), the revenue cycle management systems, or the internal platform & tooling that all of this is built on.

You'll get to know and deeply understand our end users, and you'll partner directly with product, operations, growth, and clinical teams to ship experiences that expand access to care and elevate its quality. You'll bring strong opinions on what to build, raise the engineering bar, and help define what a thoughtful, AI-native engineering culture looks like at an early-stage company.

This role is hybrid, with three days per week in our SoHo, New York City office.

• Raise the bar on AI-native ways of working: better tooling, better workflows, and thoughtfully integrated AI features for users and internal teams
• Evolve the platform that underpins our product: the AI foundations, event-driven workflows, observability, pragmatic infrastructure, etc.
• Create internal tools and automation that reduce operational load and help the team move faster with fewer mistakes
• Write clean, maintainable code, improve patterns, and push for simplicity and speed
• Collaborate with ops, growth, and clinical partners to understand real-world constraints and translate them into great product
• Mentor others and help build a strong, thoughtful engineering culture
