Job Level

About the role

  • Own end-to-end engineering execution—from architecting and building integrations with core healthcare systems (e.g., athenahealth APIs) to writing production code using the latest AI-assisted development tools, to hiring and leading a small, high-impact engineering team
  • Partner closely with Product, Clinical, Data, and Operations leaders to ensure our technology meaningfully improves patient care and clinical workflows
  • Architect and build core components of knownwell’s healthcare services platform, including integrations with athenahealth’s scheduling, billing, and clinical workflows
  • Write production-grade code yourself, leveraging modern AI coding tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Github Copilot, etc.) to move fast without sacrificing quality
  • Make pragmatic architecture decisions that balance speed, scalability, security, and compliance in a healthcare environment
  • Own full-stack delivery across backend services, frontend applications, infrastructure, and DevOps; experience with Flutter, React, and Java is required

Requirements

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent as a hands-on builder
  • Experience leading engineering efforts at early- to growth-stage companies, including hiring and managing small, distributed teams across geographies
  • Working knowledge of machine learning, RAG, and other AI concepts, with first-hand experience developing production-grade implementations leveraging these
  • Strong backend and systems experience, with comfort across the full stack; fluency with Flutter, React, and Java is required
  • Deep familiarity with modern cloud infrastructure (AWS strongly preferred), automated testing tools (e.g. Playwright, Testrail), logging/monitoring tools (e.g. Datadog, Mixpanel) is required
  • Comfort using (and enthusiasm for) modern AI-assisted development tools to increase leverage and velocity
  • Experience in digital health, health-tech, or healthcare services environments strongly preferred
