Job Level

About the role

  • Design, build, and optimize backend services and front-end experiences that power scheduling, task management, and provider-patient workflows.
  • Contribute to the evolution of platform APIs, data models, UI component libraries, and service boundaries across our Node.js and React-based stack.
  • Collaborate with product, QA, and design teams to deliver features that directly impact patient and provider experience — from data layer through UI.
  • Participate in and help improve the company-wide SDLC — including requirements gathering, code review, automated testing, deployment, and post-release monitoring.
  • Support fellow developers through thoughtful code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing on design patterns, testing, and observability.
  • Partner with DevOps and Security to ensure high availability, resilience, and SOC-2/HIPAA compliance across the stack.
  • Contribute to technical reviews and help inform the roadmap for core platform domains.
  • Improve internal documentation, migration strategies, and coding standards across LifeMD's full stack systems.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with strong depth in both backend and frontend development.
  • Strong proficiency in Node.js / TypeScript on the backend and React (or similar modern framework) on the frontend.
  • Solid experience with MongoDB (or similar), Redis / message queues (BullMQ, SQS, etc.), and RESTful API design.
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, asynchronous processing, and responsive, accessible UI development.
  • Hands-on experience building event-driven architectures and integrating with third-party services (EHRs, pharmacies, telehealth APIs).
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and container orchestration (ECS, Docker, or Kubernetes).
  • Experience working in regulated or healthcare-adjacent environments (SOC-2, HIPAA) is a strong plus.
  • Comfortable balancing architectural thinking with hands-on coding and code reviews across the full stack.
  • Strong communication skills — able to work cross-functionally and articulate technical tradeoffs clearly.
