## About the role

This is not a role where you get handed a spec. You'll work directly with patients, their families, our clinicians, and our in-house care navigation team that supports people nationwide. You'll sit in on calls, watch navigators work, and ship the thing they needed last week. We expect engineers here to have opinions about the product and the care model, not just the implementation.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Deep full-stack expertise — you're genuinely strong on both ends and don't need a handoff to ship a feature
- Product-focused. You think in terms of the user's problem and the outcome, not the ticket. You've shipped things you conceived of yourself
- Frontend development — polished, fast, accessible interfaces used by clinicians, navigators, patients, and older adults and their families
- APIs and data backend — schema design, service architecture, integrations with messy external systems (EHRs, labs, payers)
- Auth, security, and governance — you've built systems handling sensitive data and you understand what HIPAA-grade actually means in practice
