You'll work closely with the CTO and our solutions engineering team to ensure a great experience for our most complex customers.

You'll deeply understand a customer's business, their needs and pain-points, and be able to identify and communicate the best way to solve them. Beyond individual needs, you'll help improve systems and processes by identifying recurring issues, contributing to internal documentation and tooling improvements, and helping design scalable solutions that reduce friction for customers over time.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being deeply technical while staying close to customers and wants to help shape how Healthie's platform operates in real-world healthcare environments.

We are looking for team members who actively leverage AI-powered development tools, embrace automation, and help teams adopt modern, AI-assisted engineering practices to increase velocity and quality.
