We are looking for passionate engineers that are motivated by working on problems at scale (think billions of queries and PBs of medical records). If you want to do work that matters and has a direct impact on people's lives, you should consider joining us - there's a good chance that this will be some of the most fulfilling, interesting, and impactful work you do in your career. About us The following points are an assortment of the most relevant bits that will give you the gist of where we're at, why we'll win, and our company culture: Well funded with a massive recent infusion of capital, found PMF, multi-million ARR, 80+ customers (including Strive Health, Circle Medical, and Brightside Health), funded by top VCs and angels, have years of runway - and we're just getting started. We’re a tight-knit, high performing, and passionate team - we work with a consistent intensity and have become a leader in our industry with a fraction of the resources of our competitors. Consistency means we push as hard as humanly possible, while keeping our health and personal lives in check. Meaningful work is what gets us out of bed, and we just wouldn't be satisfied by building yet another CRM company. By pedigree, we’re a group of underdogs - we don't hire based on prestige, but on demonstrated competence and perceived potential. We’re engineering heavy, and most of our engineers are former founders (including 2 ex-YC founders). We operate as a relatively flat structure with little red tape, forced structure, or bureaucracy. We just opt to get shit done and foster a collaborative environment with high autonomy - our GitHub commit history and product velocity is a testament to this. The founders set the pace by working 6 days a week in our SF office, but everyone is given full freedom to craft a schedule that's best for both the team and themselves - team output is measured. About you In a nutshell, we're looking for “generalist” engineers with the following specific qualities: You’re entrepreneurial-minded, with an olympian-level work ethic (nearly our entire engineering team consists of former founders). You are confident in your ability to build scalable systems across the full stack, and people usually come to you for technical guidance. You believe you can solve any problem that comes at you, and don't shy away from diving deep into areas where you may lack domain expertise. You have a strong sense of ownership over your work, and have demonstrated ability to lead others. You care more about the end result and delivering value to a customer, rather than what new and frilly tech is being used under the hood for a given feature. When someone scopes out a project with an ETA of 3 weeks, you ask yourself "why can't it be done in 3 days?". You’re a hacker at heart, and have a good sense of what rules should, and shouldn't, be broken. What you'll be doing After quickly ramping up using our comprehensive onboarding materials to get familiar with our domain, and codebase, the goal would be to get you shipping product directly to customers as quickly as possible. Specifically, day to day, this looks like: Driving projects, big and small, end-to-end from ideation to production rollout: Writing project design docs. Reviewing them the team, and incorporating feedback, to come to the best solution. Getting PRs up for a v0 as quickly as possible to our staging environment, and then rolling out to some pilot customers for production validation, while collaborating with the team as needed. Getting the solution from v0 to v1 while incorporating customer feedback. Rolling out the v1 solution to all of our customers. These projects could include things like: Using LLMs to transform freeform doctors notes into medical data we can add to patient medical records. Building an Opensearch cluster to allow healthcare providers to quickly search across a patient's entire medical history. Transforming incoming TCP messages from hospitals using a 90s era protocol to modern based webhooks that we route to our customers. Reviewing PRs for other engineers, and knowing when to take extra time to keep quality high versus when to get things out the door quickly. Managing your own work in Linear. Participating in bi-weekly sprint planning / retro sessions, and quarterly planning sessions. Attending a daily 30 minute remote stand-up at 7:30am PST Mon-Fri (our only regular mandatory meeting). Participating in a daily on-call rotation where you’ll be responsive to alerts, customer issues, and work towards fixing the "important but not urgent" items in our backlog that move the needle on DX-related topics so we can ship quicker as we go. Requirements You have 3+ years experience as a full-stack engineer. You’re located in San Francisco or the Bay Area (or willing to relocate). Healthcare experience isn't required, but if the following terms mean something to you, that's a plus: FHIR, HIE, IHE, EHR/EMR, NPI, TEFCA, ADT, HL7, HEDIS, RAF, SNOMED, LOINC, ICD-10, etc. Benefits Competitive equity + compensation package Full family Platinum health insurance, dental, and vision coverage 401(k) retirement plan + matching Flexible work from home or in-office Healthy lunches are complimentary when working in-office (and breakfast + dinners as needed) Quarterly company off-sites with the team MacBook provided by us Unlimited PTO (we work hard, but trust you to take time you need to be at your best) Our tech On the frontend, we use React - on the backend, we rely on Node.js and TypeScript for writing core business logic. We deploy a wide range of AWS cloud services (ie ECS, Fargate, Lambda, etc), and manage our infrastructure as code with AWS CDK. Data lives in PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, S3, Snowflake, HAPI FHIR servers, and more. The ideal person for this role is a generalist who knows how to pick the best tool for the job. Metriport provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce and welcome people from all backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and abilities. #J-18808-Ljbffr
