## About the role

As a Software Engineer at Locata, you'll build systems that solve some of healthcare’s most challenging problems. We're looking for someone who enjoys diving into unfamiliar systems, figuring out how they work, and building elegant solutions around them. You should be excited by ambiguity, comfortable making decisions with incomplete information, and motivated by the opportunity to own major parts of the product from day one.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years of full-stack software engineering experience, including shipping and maintaining production systems
- Strong track record building 0→1 products in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
- Someone who loves taking things apart, questioning assumptions, and attacking vague problems until they become elegant, pragmatic solutions
- Strong technical judgment across frontend, backend, cloud infrastructure, and system design
- High attention to detail, with good judgment around speed, reliability, and maintainability
- Excellent communicator who writes clearly, documents tradeoffs, and brings clarity to technical and product decisions
