Job Description
About Us Medical data exchange is one of the biggest unsolved problems in US healthcare. If you've spent any real time in the healthcare system, you've felt it, and it only gets worse the sicker and o
Key Highlights
- You're confident in building scalable, distributed systems across the full stack — with particular depth on the back-end — and people usually come to you for technical guidance.
- You've led engineers before — as a team lead, tech lead, or founder — and you own outcomes: technical direction, results, and the work of the people you lead. You're energized by multiplying a team's output, not just your own.
- You're entrepreneurial-minded with an olympian-level work ethic (about half our engineering team are former founders).
- You own reliability, security, and networking end-to-end — designing for 99.99%+ uptime, thinking like an attacker to harden your systems, and diving into the network layer yourself rather than treating it as someone else's domain.
- You care about delivering value to customers, not about what frilly new tech is under the hood.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
- 8+ years as a full-stack engineer, with a heavy lean towards back-end — public APIs, distributed systems, and complex integrations with external systems.
- Experience leading engineers — formally or informally — with projects where you drove a team's technical direction and delivery, not just your own output.
- Experience developing, maintaining, and scaling cloud-based platforms to many millions or billions of transactions a day — including optimizing architecture and code for scalability and cost.
- You've made engineering teams faster — better developer experience, more testability, shorter release cycles — and you can talk about the before/after.
- You’re located in San Francisco or the Bay Area (or willing to relocate).
- Bonus: Experience processing large amounts of data, including moving it across different services, transforming/consolidating, and building services to query it. Healthcare standards/technologies: FHIR, HIE, IHE, EHR/EMR, NPI, TEFCA, ADT, HL7, HEDIS, RAF, SNOMED, LOINC, ICD-10, etc.
