Full Job Description


Key Accountabilities:
  • Help shape technical direction on the Essentials squad - contributing to architecture decisions and unblocking teammates - while staying hands-on in Ruby on Rails, TypeScript, and React
  • Lead by example in the codebase: write clean, maintainable, refactor-friendly code and elevate quality through thoughtful code review and pairing
  • Design and optimize back-end systems, APIs, and data flows with a strong focus on performance and reliability, sharing what you learn along the way
  • Build modern, responsive front-end experiences using React, TypeScript, and CSS, with an eye toward maintainable architecture
  • Work across relational databases (Postgres, MySQL, etc.), writing efficient SQL and shaping data models that support business growth
  • Lead projects end-to-end, balancing hands-on development with guiding others to successful delivery, surfacing risks early and communicating trade-offs clearly
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and QA to translate business needs into sound technical solutions
  • Embrace AI-assisted engineering: use tools like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot effectively, contribute to shared prompts and agentic workflows, and help the team learn what works
  • Identify and prototype opportunities to apply LLMs and automation to engineering and internal workflows, with the guardrails appropriate to healthcare data and regulated billing


Desired Skills and Experience:
  • At least 7-10 years of full-stack development experience, with Ruby on Rails as a core strength
  • Experience with React, 5+ years preferred.
  • Experienced in leading projects end-to-end: from breaking down complex problems to shipping features that drive impact
  • Passionate about mentoring, from pair programming to guiding architectural decisions, and helping others grow as engineers
  • Daily, hands-on fluency with AI development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot), with sharp judgment about where AI accelerates work and where human review is non-negotiable
  • Experience, or strong demonstrated interest, in building with LLM APIs: prompt design, evaluation, and safety considerations for sensitive data
  • Highly organized with superb attention to detail
  • Strong project management skills: comfortable with planning, estimation, and scoping
  • Proven ability to work in an ever-changing environment, ability to connect the dots and make decisions on your own feet
  • Ability to produce quality materials within tight timeframes and simultaneously manage several projects
  • Ability to communicate clearly and concisely, verbally and in writing
  • Exercise sound judgment and work successfully with all employee levels, regardless of background and perspectives
