Rockstar is recruiting for a well-funded, early-stage healthcare technology company that is proving nurse-practitioner-led care isn't just more accessible, it's better. The company helps NPs build and scale independent practices in communities too often overlooked by the health system, and its network of 100+ practices covering 400,000 annual visits has driven a 30% increase in preventative visits and a 35% drop in hospitalizations. Backed by investors including Lerer Hippeau and Kairos, the client is building a vertically integrated enablement platform for NP-led practices.
Location: Hybrid in NYC (in office Monday-Wednesday)
Compensation: $160,000 - $185,000 per year plus equity
OverviewThe company is a well-funded seed-stage company led by experienced entrepreneurs and Nurse Practitioners, backed by Kairos HQ, Lerer Hippeau, and others. It is building a vertically integrated enablement platform for NP-led practices: software that reduces administrative overhead, improves cash flow, and gives clinicians leverage to operate sustainable businesses without corporate consolidation.
It has already built the data foundation that connects to outpatient EHR and practice management systems and supports these workflows through services today. This role is about turning that foundation into scalable, self-serve products, automating work away and putting control directly in the hands of practices.
About the RoleAs a Senior Full-Stack Engineer, the candidate will design, build, and maintain the systems that power the company's customer-facing products. This is an IC-heavy role focused on backend architecture and workflow logic, with enough frontend exposure to ensure excellent end-user experiences. The Senior Full-Stack Engineer will report directly to the founding team.
The Senior Full-Stack Engineer will work on the systems that enable rule-driven and customer-configured automation, web-based experiences for clinic staff, and operational workflows that replace manual, error-prone processes.
This role sits at the intersection of product, data, and systems engineering, and is ideal for someone who enjoys building flexible primitives that multiple products can be composed from.
What the Senior Full-Stack Engineer Will Do- Build Product-Enabling Systems: Design and implement backend systems that support configurable workflows and automation. Create primitives that allow multiple products to be built on top of shared logic. Balance flexibility with simplicity so systems remain understandable and maintainable.
- Turn Services Into Software: Work closely with operations and product to understand how work is done today. Identify patterns in manual processes and translate them into durable software abstractions. Iterate quickly based on real usage from practices.
- Own Quality & Reliability: Write thoughtful tests for workflow logic and core systems. Debug production issues and improve systems based on failure modes. Ensure changes are safe, observable, and reversible.
- Set the Software Foundation: Influence architectural decisions and engineering standards. Help onboard new engineers and contribute to a culture of ownership and clarity. Act like a builder, not a ticket-taker.
What the Company Is Looking For- 6+ years of experience building production web-based software
- Strong background in backend or full-stack engineering, with experience working on systems that support complex business logic or workflows
- Proficiency in Python, JavaScript, and experience building and consuming RESTful APIs
- Comfort working across the stack, with backend as a strength
- Comfortable with rule-based and user-configured systems
Nice to HavesThese aren't required, but healthcare or billing experience will meaningfully accelerate impact. Similarly, experience turning internal tools or services into customer-facing products, or building data-heavy admin tooling, maps directly to what the company is doing.
What This Role Offers- High ownership: Build foundational systems as an early engineer, reporting directly to founders
- Real users: Clinics use what the engineer ships every day
- Product-led: The engineer will work on features customers actually see and feel
- Mission-driven: Support independent primary care at a critical moment
