About the role

  • Own features from concept to production: scoping, prototyping, building, shipping, and iterating based on user feedback and metrics.
  • Design and implement AI integrations that reduce administrative burden for healthcare providers, using LLMs and automation thoughtfully and effectively.
  • Build and maintain full-stack features across our TypeScript/React frontend and Kotlin backend.
  • Write comprehensive tests that ensure our healthcare solutions are reliable and robust. Your tests protect patients, not just code coverage.
  • Continuously refactor and improve our codebase to keep velocity high and technical debt low.
  • Collaborate closely with product, clinical, and business stakeholders to understand user needs and translate them into technical solutions.
  • Evaluate new AI tools and technologies, separating signal from noise and recommending what's worth adopting.
  • Contribute to architecture decisions and engineering practices as we scale from early product to platform.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience as an individual contributor, with meaningful time spent at an early-stage startup (seed to Series B). You know what it means to wear multiple hats, ship fast, and build without a playbook.
  • Full-stack product engineering experience. You've taken features from napkin sketch to production and owned the outcome. Comfortable across the stack: frontend (TypeScript/React or similar), backend (Kotlin/Java or similar), and SQL databases.
  • Hands-on experience integrating AI/ML into production applications. You've worked with LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar), understand prompt engineering, know when to use AI vs. traditional logic, and can evaluate emerging tools critically. You stay current on what's possible and what's hype.
  • Demonstrated ability to prototype rapidly, validate with users, and iterate based on real feedback. You think like a product person who happens to write code.
  • Strong testing discipline. You write tests that protect user outcomes and enable confident refactoring, not just checkbox coverage.
  • Excellent communication skills, especially with non-technical stakeholders. You can explain tradeoffs, advocate for technical decisions, and collaborate with product and clinical teams.
