Founding Full Stack Engineer

Role Description

This is a founding engineering role at an early-stage healthtech SaaS company building the system of record for nursing excellence. The platform serves some of the country's largest health systems, helping nursing leaders run programs around professional governance, clinical ladder advancement, evidence-based practice, and designation achievement — work that today is still largely managed on spreadsheets and shared drives.

As a Founding Full Stack Engineer, you'll own architecture end-to-end across four integrated products, set engineering standards for the team to scale on, and ship features that have a direct, measurable impact on nurse retention and patient care. You'll work closely with an experienced founder-CEO and have a seat at the table from day one. No visa sponsorship is available. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States.
