Job Description

About the Role

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and own production systems that are reliable, secure, and performant under real clinical load.
• Make high-stakes technical decisions with incomplete information, weigh the tradeoffs explicitly, and stand behind them.
• Raise the bar around you through code review, design guidance, and the standards you hold, whether or not you carry a formal leadership title.
• Partner closely with product managers, designers, and clinical experts to turn ambiguous problems into clear, well-tested solutions.
• Debug and harden complex systems, and put safeguards in place so the same failure cannot happen twice.
• Contribute to the technical direction of your team and, at the staff and principal levels, help set the architectural direction for the platform.

Why You Might Be a Good Fit

• You are a mid level and above engineer with a track record of shipping and owning production software, not just contributing to it.
• You are genuinely language agnostic yourself, able to point to real, recent professional work in whatever languages and frameworks the job called for.
• You reason clearly about systems, tradeoffs, and failure modes, and you can explain the hardest decision you made and why.
• You take ownership seriously, especially when your work touches something as consequential as a person's care.
• You are motivated by the problem of fixing healthcare, and you want to be in the conversation for the right role when it opens.

This Might Not Be The Right Fit If...

• You are early in your career or looking for a first engineering role. This pipeline is for mid level and above only.
• Your strongest examples are academic or from coursework rather than production systems you built and owned professionally.
• You are attached to a single language or framework and are not comfortable working in whatever stack the problem requires.
• You are looking for an immediate placement and are not open to an evergreen conversation ahead of a specific opening.
• You are not interested in the specific stakes and constraints of building software in healthcare.

Your Qualifications

• 3+ Professional software engineering experience, with a clear record of building and owning production systems (level within the range is set by depth and scope).
• Demonstrable, recent professional depth in one or more modern languages and frameworks, with the ability to name the systems you built and your role on them.
• Strong fundamentals in system design, data modeling, testing, and building for reliability, performance, and security.
• Experience collaborating across product, design, and domain experts to ship real software against ambiguous requirements.
• Sound engineering judgment, especially about tradeoffs, failure modes, and the consequences of the systems you own.

Bonus Points

• Experience building software in healthcare, or in another high-stakes, highly regulated, or safety-critical domain.
• A demonstrated ability to become productive in a new stack quickly.
• Experience with conversational agents, real-time systems, or systems handling race conditions, locking, and other complex concurrency concerns.
• A background in computer science or a related field.
