About the role

As a Staff Software Engineer/Tech Lead on our Patient Experience team, you’ll serve as a technical and architectural leader for the systems that help patients discover, start, and continue their care with Ro. You'll be responsible for the patient-facing platform that supports patients taking the first steps in their patient journey - and the second, and the tenth, and the 100th.

What they're looking for

  • Translate patient and growth opportunities into technical strategy, partnering with product and engineering to determine how systems should evolve to support the outcomes we’re trying to achieve

  • Develop a deep understanding of Ro’s business and patient journey, and translate those insights into high-impact technical opportunities that improve patient outcomes and drive revenue and growth
