About the role

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll join a spectacularly talented team of fellow engineers—but you will also be expected to independently own your product workflow from initial design requirements through deployment. You will be expected to move aggressively, and you will commit code daily, but you'll get that rush of seeing your work in the wild with live users on a regular basis as you build a revolutionary product from scratch. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Experience working in a start-up environment
  • 5+ years of relevant experience in backend development with some frontend exposure
  • Strong fundamentals in API design, database architecture, and distributed systems
  • Expertise in Typescript/Node and backend frameworks
  • Comfort with React and frontend technologies—you can jump in and contribute when needed, even if it's not your primary focus
  • An intuitive understanding of what it takes to create performant, scalable systems that power delightful user experiences
More about this role

Healthcare in the U.S. is fundamentally broken. The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate it without help. Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare by pairing patients with expert advocates and giving them the tools to make better decisions—and get better outcomes.

We're a Series C startup, founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures, Signalfire, and IVP. Our U.S. based team is lean, mission-driven, and growing quickly.

Solace isn't a place to coast. We're here to redefine healthcare—and that demands urgency, precision, and heart. If you're looking to stretch yourself, sharpen your edge, and do the best work of your life alongside a team that cares deeply, you're in the right place. We’re intense, and we like it that way.
