Job Description
• Own end-to-end development of patient and clinician-facing features: from initial spec and architecture through implementation, launch, and iteration.
• Build intuitive flows for intake, eligibility, visit scheduling, and follow-up that feel modern while staying clinically rigorous.
• Integrate video, messaging, and asynchronous care into a cohesive telehealth experience.
• Build tools that make clinicians’ lives easier: charting workflows, order sets, structured data capture, and decision-support surfaces.
• Work on fulfillment and quality operations: integrating with U.S.-based distributors sourcing from FDA-registered and inspected manufacturers.
• Implement robust admin and internal tools for patient support, care coordination, and growth experiments.
• Design and maintain scalable, secure APIs and data models for medical records, prescriptions, and longitudinal patient data.
• Integrate with third-party systems (EHR/EMR, labs, pharmacies, logistics, payment providers) where it makes sense—and build internally when it doesn’t.
• Collaborate with clinical and compliance stakeholders to ensure privacy, security, and regulatory requirements are embedded in the product, not bolted on.
• Partner with founders and design on product discovery: talk to users, observe clinicians, prototype and validate ideas quickly.
• Help shape engineering culture, standards, and tooling from the ground up.
• Contribute to hiring, onboarding, and mentoring future engineers as the team grows.
Job Requirements
- 5+ years of professional experience as a full stack or backend-leaning engineer.
- You’ve shipped and owned meaningful production systems in a startup or high-growth environment.
- Comfortable across the stack:
- Backend: designing APIs, data models, queueing/async processing, integrating third-party APIs
- Frontend: building usable, polished interfaces in a modern framework (React or similar)
- Care deeply about reliability, correctness, and safety, especially when dealing with health data or sensitive operations.
- Enjoy working with non-technical stakeholders (clinicians, operations, growth) and translating messy requirements into clean, pragmatic solutions.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and like taking problems from: “We should probably do X” → “here’s a proposal and a first version in prod.”
- Think in systems, not just features: care about the long-term maintainability of what you build.
Benefits
- Patients before process. Agency over authority.
- Speed with safety. Move fast, treat responsibly.
- Bias to build. Less debate, more demo.
- Forgiveness > Permission. Act like an owner.
- Earn trust. Trust is our most valuable currency.
