Full Job Description
The Role

We're a small engineering team (2-5 engineers) moving fast on a platform that serves nurses, patients, pharmacies, and an internal ops team - each with distinct product and technical needs. You'll report directly to engineering leadership and have immediate, meaningful ownership across the stack.

This is a high-autonomy role with low red tape. You'll work directly with customers and internal stakeholders, turn ambiguous problems into shipped products, and see the impact of your work quickly. If you thrive in an environment where you can identify a problem on Monday and have a fix in production by Friday, this is the right seat for you.

What you'll do:
  • Own and ship high-impact features end-to-end, from technical design through production.
  • Work directly with nurses, pharmacy partners, and internal ops to understand real pain points and build solutions that address them.
  • Set a high technical bar through design reviews, code review, and hands-on execution - not just oversight.
  • Identify and drive technical initiatives around code quality, observability, and testing without waiting for permission.
  • Translate ambiguous business requirements into concrete engineering plans and deliver them with minimal hand-holding.
  • Collaborate across functions and communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders about tradeoffs and timelines.

Required skills:
  • 7+ years of professional experience as a software engineer.
  • Proficiency in Golang - this is our primary backend language.
  • Experience with web services and REST API development.
  • Comfort working in early-stage product environments where requirements evolve rapidly.
  • Strong written and written communication skills; you can work effectively across engineering, ops, and customer-facing teams.
  • Based in the US and available to work on US hours.

Preferred skills:
  • Experience working on marketplace products.
  • Experience in Frontend technologies.
  • Familiarity with AWS, Terraform, and Kubernetes.
  • Experience with data analysis and SQL.
  • Background working on distributed teams.
  • BS/MS/PhD in Engineering, Computer Science or related field.

Benefits:
  • Medical, dental, vision
  • 401k matching
  • Unlimited PTO with minimum days
  • Paid parental leave
  • Remote work stipend - generous bi-weekly payment to cover home office or coworking space
  • HSA & FSA
  • Voluntary Life, Accident, Hospital, and Critical Illness Insurance
  • Zero commute. Work wherever you are, globally (on or around US hours)

Compensation:

Compensation for this role consists of a base salary and a generous options grant, with the base salary expected to range from $175,000 to $230,000 per year. Individual compensation will be commensurate with the candidate's experience and location.
