About the Role

This is an early backend-leaning generalist role where you'll own truly life-changing products end-to-end. You'll work across an AI-first platform, whether that's building the school-facing product that connects students to care, the therapist product that makes clinicians more effective, Marty (our AI-powered patient companion), the revenue cycle management systems, or the internal platform & tooling that all of this is built on.

You'll get to know and deeply understand our end users, and you'll partner directly with product, operations, growth, and clinical teams to ship experiences that expand access to care and elevate its quality. You'll bring strong opinions on what to build, raise the engineering bar, and help define what a thoughtful, AI-native engineering culture looks like at an early-stage company.

  • Raise the bar on AI-native ways of working: better tooling, better workflows, and thoughtfully integrated AI features for users and internal teams
  • Evolve the platform that underpins our product: the AI foundations, event-driven workflows, observability, pragmatic infrastructure, etc.
  • Create internal tools and automation that reduce operational load and help the team move faster with fewer mistakes
  • Write clean, maintainable code, improve patterns, and push for simplicity and speed
  • Collaborate with ops, growth, and clinical partners to understand real-world constraints and translate them into great product
  • Mentor others and help build a strong, thoughtful engineering culture


Who You Are
  • 2+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of solving hard problems with code
  • Prior startup experience or strong desire to work at an early stage company; comfortable in a high-autonomy, high-ownership environment

  • Based in New York and able to work from our SoHo office 3+ days per week
  • Mission-driven and energized by solving a

Bonus:

  • Experience with platform infrastructure - event-driven systems, internal tooling, data pipelines, or cloud infrastructure (AWS, CI/CD, Terraform)
  • Experience with design systems, accessibility, or frontend performance optimization


Why Marble
  • Direct impact on a critical & meaningful problem, where you see that impact first-hand on a daily basis
  • Greenfield opportunity to take ownership of & build something from the ground up
  • Small & experienced team that moves fast, has fun and has a culture of growth & feedback
