We’re looking for software engineers who can work holistically to design strategic solutions that go beyond just writing code. A strong track record in understanding business needs, communicating effectively, and delivering impactful results is essential, along with leadership qualities to guide and inspire colleagues.
As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll play a key role in advancing our technology platform and building software products that make a meaningful impact. You’ll have the opportunity to lead large-scale technical efforts across multiple platforms that address our long-term business strategies. You'll be expected to propose novel solutions to real-world business challenges, work cross-functionally with engineering and non-engineering peers, and drive novel solutions that enhance our user experiences and business workflows. The ideal candidate will also have a track record of being an effective thought leader, and improving engineering best-practices across the organization.
Job Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain high-quality, full-stack software solutions that are scalable, reliable, and easy to maintain.
- Lead architecture and system design efforts for complex, distributed applications, ensuring alignment with long-term business and technical goals.
- Collaborate with cross-functional partners in product, design, and business teams to translate strategic initiatives into technical solutions.
- Mentor and coach engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning, and knowledge sharing.
- Champion engineering best practices and drive initiatives that improve system performance, code quality, and developer productivity across the organization.
Education, Experience, and Skills
- Proficiency in at least 3 software languages, with a demonstrated ability to quickly learn new ones as needed. Python is highly desired, but other languages such as C#, Java, Javascript/Typescript, or others are acceptable.

- 10+ years experience building large-scale front-end applications using modern frameworks (React highly desired, but Vue, or Angular are acceptable).
- 10+ years experience with data modeling using multiple database and storage types.
- 7+ years experience designing and deploying resilient and scalable large scale and distributed services in the cloud using Docker and Kubernetes (e.g. AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI).
- Applied knowledge of multiple architectural paradigms.
- Bonus points for:
- Prior healthcare / health tech experience, or experience in other regulated industries, particularly with data privacy and compliance requirements.
