Founding Backend Engineer

Full-time

Next Ventures

Mission

The U.S. healthcare system is complex, error-prone, and financially draining. Medical bills and insurance coverage shouldn’t be this hard to navigate. We’re building a platform designed to make it easier for people to manage their healthcare costs and benefits.

Using AI and new technology, the platform helps correct billing errors, resolve claim issues, and simplify coverage — saving people time, money, and stress. Our goal is simple: to create the go-to solution that empowers Americans to take control of their healthcare.

About Us

Founded by experienced leaders from top healthcare and technology companies, we’re a well-funded seed-stage startup backed by leading investors and founders across the tech and health sectors. We have raised $17M and are well-positioned for long-term growth.

About the Role

We’re looking for a seasoned software engineer to help shape and execute our technical roadmap. You’ll work closely with product and engineering leadership to design, build, and scale the core systems that power our platform.

You will:

  • Architect and develop scalable backend services and APIs.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and deliver product features.

  • Work on complex challenges in AI-driven systems and infrastructure.

  • Contribute to technical direction, process improvements, and best practices.

Tech Stack

TypeScript (frontend & backend)
React Native, Next.js, Nest.js, GraphQL
Postgres (with modern data frameworks)
Temporal, Pulumi, Docker, AWS

‍ We’ll Be Excited If You

  • Bring 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.

  • Are mission-driven and motivated to tackle meaningful, real-world problems.

  • Thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments.

  • Think strategically but act pragmatically.

  • Communicate clearly and effectively across teams.

  • Enjoy solving hard technical problems and experimenting with new technologies.

Bonus: Experience with healthcare data, complex integrations, AI-driven workflows, or web crawling.

Working With Us

We’re based in New York with a hybrid setup — part of our team works from our Chelsea office, and part is remote across the U.S. We combine the best aspects of in-person collaboration with the flexibility of remote work.

We live by a few key principles:

  • Move with urgency and focus: Prioritize what matters most.

  • Own the outcome: Take initiative and follow through.

  • Commit to your craft: Strive for excellence and care about the details.

  • Play to win: We aim high and work hard to get there.

  • Feedback is fuel: Be open, honest, and growth-minded.

  • One team: We collaborate and celebrate wins together.
