As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll lead the design and implementation of our interoperability engine, collaborate with product teams, mentor peers, and ensure high-quality data exchange in healthcare.
Redox is on a mission to accelerate healthcare’s transformation with useful data. Redox Engine, a flexible interoperability platform, connects and powers real-time healthcare data exchange. With just one connection, data can be orchestrated across a growing network of 12,000+ systems and organizations, including 100+ electronic health record systems (EHRs). Redox processes over 1.2 billion messages per month across our health tech vendor, provider, payer, EHR, and life sciences customers.
Opportunity & Impact
As a Staff Software Engineer at Redox, you are a technical leader responsible for the health, scalability, and evolution of our interoperability engine. In our highly collaborative environment, your role is a strategic partner guiding Product Management rather than simply offering input. You will navigate the complexity of full-stack user experience and complex healthcare data formats, ensuring our platform remains the gold standard for real-time healthcare data exchange. Furthermore, you will be responsible for providing users with insight into the processing of this data and tools for effective troubleshooting.
This is a role for an engineer who thrives at the intersection of deep technical problem-solving and product strategy. You will identify critical technical levers to improve customer outcomes, driving projects that balance immediate delivery with long-term systemic stability. You’ll be a force multiplier, elevating the engineers around you through intentional mentorship and modeling a culture where psychological safety, technical excellence, high ownership of outcomes, and autonomy coexist.
Our Engineering Culture & How We Work
- The Product + Engineering Interface: We believe product success hinges on early alignment between Engineering and Product. Our teams collaborate closely during Discovery and Refinement to define scope, evaluate technical feasibility, and shape long-term roadmaps together.
- Psychological Safety & Learning: We normalize being “in progress.” We value curiosity, encourage questions, and treat mistakes as shared learning opportunities. Blameless post-mortems are a core part of how we grow, both as individuals and as a team.
- Radical Transparency: We communicate openly and intentionally. We default to public Slack channels, document and share meeting notes, and prioritize asynchronous communication. We embrace the vulnerability of sharing work-in-progress to enable better, more inclusive decision-making.
- Engineering-Driven Ownership: We believe in strong technical stewardship. Engineering plays an active role in shaping solutions, contributing to project direction, and advocating for long-term system health and sustainability.
Job Responsibilities
- Technical Ownership & Partnership: Take technical ownership of a product space. Deliver high-impact products to market in close collaboration with Product Managers and fellow engineers.
- Architectural Leadership: Lead the design and implementation of full-stack and backend solutions. Create architectural design documents and proofs of concept to modernize the platform and reduce maintenance overhead.
- Cross-Functional Influence: Collaborate across teams to define solutions and provide clear direction on technical tradeoffs, ensuring alignment with both product goals and engineering standards.
- Domain SME: Become a subject matter expert in your team’s services. Champion engineer-led projects to improve stability, performance, and the developer experience.
- Mentorship & Learning Mindset: Foster a culture of collective excellence where learning happens in all directions. You will facilitate peer-to-peer knowledge sharing across the engineering organization, rooted in the belief that everyone has something to teach and something to learn. Whether exploring new industry standards or deep-diving into domain logic, you create the space for engineers at all levels to grow together through shared technical curiosity.
Required Skills & Experience
- Experience: 8+ years of professional software development experience, with a track record of leading medium-to-large projects involving multiple engineers.
- Full-Stack Expertise: Demonstrated ability to drive projects across the full stack (backend services, data persistence, and modern frontend frameworks like React/TypeScript). Comfortable with translating designs and wireframes into high-quality code.
- Cloud & Infrastructure: Proficiency in cloud-native environments (AWS preferred), and relational databases (Postgres).
- Communication: Strong organizational and communication skills, including experience with pair programming and translating complex technical concepts for product stakeholders.
- Values Alignment: A commitment to continuous learning, perseverance in solving complex problems, strong ownership of outcomes, and excellent collaboration skills, all within an inclusive engineering culture rooted in psychological safety.
Preferred Skills & Experience
- Healthcare Domain: Experience working with healthcare data standards such as FHIR, HL7v2, or X12, or building integrations with EHR systems.
- Technical Breadth: We value engineers who can move across the stack and adapt quickly. Experience with many of the following (or similar technologies) is helpful:
Backend: Node.js / TypeScript, REST API design
Frontend: React or modern UI frameworks
Data & Infrastructure: Postgres, Redis, AWS
Observability: tools like Grafana, Sumo Logic, or comparable platforms
DevOps: CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD), Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform)
- AI-Augmented Engineering: Experience using AI-assisted development tools (such as GitHub Copilot or Claude) to improve productivity, code quality, and iteration speed.
- Remote Collaboration: Comfort working in a fully remote environment with a balance of asynchronous and synchronous collaboration. This includes clear written communication, transparent progress-sharing, and effective participation in real-time pairing or team discussions.
Technical Toolkit
- Core Technologies: Node.js / TypeScript, React, AWS, Postgres, REST API design
- Additional Technologies We Use: Redis, Terraform, CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD), observability platforms (e.g., Grafana)

Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalized folks tend to only apply when they check every box. So if you think you have what it takes, but don't necessarily meet every single point on the job description, please still get in touch. We'd love to have a chat and see if you could be a great fit. https://hbr.org/2014/08/why-women-dont-apply-for-jobs-unless-theyre-100-qualified

What We Do
Healthcare organizations and technology vendors connect to Redox once, then authorize what data they send to and receive from partners through a centralized hub. Redox's cloud-based platform is vendor and standards-agnostic and enables the secure and efficient exchange of healthcare data.
This approach eradicates the need for point-to-point integrations and accelerates the discovery, adoption, and distribution of patient and provider-facing technology solutions. With hundreds of healthcare organizations and technology vendors exchanging data today, Redox represents the largest interoperable network in healthcare. Learn how you can leverage the Redox platform at www.redoxengine.com.
