The OpportunityWe're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to serve as the technical leader for this team - someone who can architect end-to-end systems across mobile and backend, tackle complex scaling challenges, and raise the bar on engineering quality. If you're passionate about building high-quality software that directly improves people's health outcomes, this is your role.
What You'll AccomplishIn your first 3 months:- Ramp into the CV User Experience stack (React Native, TypeScript, NestJS, GraphQL, AWS) and build relationships with product managers, designers, data scientists, and computer vision scientists.
- Deliver your first end-to-end feature while auditing the current architecture for scaling and performance bottlenecks.
In your first 6 months:- Own and lead architectural discussions for TrueMotion-driven experiences, proactively identifying challenges and proposing innovative solutions to complex mobile and full-stack engineering problems.
- Establish stronger system observability using Datadog and Sentry, improving monitoring, logging, and error tracking across the full stack.
- Profile systems to stay ahead of scaling and performance bottlenecks, ensuring a fast, responsive mobile experience for users.
In your first year:- Act as the primary technical leader for the team's architecture - designing robust, end-to-end solutions including performant APIs, mobile application architecture, and data models that are the foundation for TrueMotion's next generation.
- Mentor engineers and promote a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement through thoughtful code reviews, design discussions, and knowledge sharing.
- Every quarter, identify, propose, and execute a significant upgrade or innovative change to the team's workflow, tooling, or architecture.
Who You Are- A Force Multiplier: You don't just ship great code - you improve the team's overall architecture, developer tooling, and practices, making everyone around you more effective.
- A Learn-it-all: You stay at the forefront of mobile development, computer vision UX, and AI-powered developer tools. You bring "only-now-possible" ideas to the team and turn them into shipped capabilities.
- Accountable: You take owner-operator pride in your code in production. You meet commitments, estimate well, and don't stop before solving the last 10-20% where the messy edge cases lie.
- A Trust Builder: You communicate effectively across engineering, product, design, and data science teams to align on shared goals. You explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders in a way that is understandable and not condescending.
- Hands-On Leader: You lead at all levels - architecting systems and writing code, reviewing PRs and mentoring engineers, thinking quarters ahead and unblocking teammates today.
