About the role
- We integrate with all major US healthcare IT systems and tap into comprehensive medical data for 300+ million individuals.
- We're a tight-knit, high-performing team of mostly former founders (including two YC alumni).
- We're engineering-heavy, operate with minimal bureaucracy and high autonomy, and hire based on competence, not prestige.
Responsibilities
- Driving projects end-to-end, from ideation to production rollout: writing Design Documents, shipping v0's quickly, and iterating to v1 and beyond.
- Eventually, acting as Team Lead for a group of engineers: breaking down and delegating work, unblocking teammates, and owning your team's delivery - while staying hands-on in the code.
- Multiplying the team: mentoring engineers, reviewing designs and PRs, judging when to invest in quality vs. ship fast, and improving our dev processes and tooling so quality and security are enforced by default.
- Example projects you could own:
- Refactoring our core data pipeline to process data 10x faster than originally designed.
- 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.
Requirements
- 8+ years as a full-stack engineer, with a heavy lean towards back-end - public APIs, distributed systems, and complex integrations with external systems.
- You've made engineering teams faster - better developer experience, more testability, shorter release cycles - and you can talk about the before/after.
Skills
- FHIR, HIE, IHE, EHR/EMR, NPI, TEFCA, ADT, HL7, HEDIS, RAF, SNOMED, LOINC, ICD-10, etc.
- Competitive equity + compensation package ๐
- Full family Platinum health insurance, dental, and vision coverage ๐ฆท
- 401(k) retirement plan + matching ๐ฐ
- Flexible work from home or in-office ๐ข
- Healthy lunches are complimentary when working in-office (and breakfast + dinners as needed) ๐
- Quarterly company off-sites with the team โท๏ธ
- MacBook provided by us ๐ป
- Unlimited PTO (we work hard, but trust you to take time you need to be at your best) ๐งโโ๏ธ
- Core business logic in Node.js and TypeScript, with Python in data and ML workflows.
- AWS across the board (ECS, Lambda, SQS, SNS, Batch, etc.), infrastructure as code with CDK.
- Data lives in S3, PostgreSQL/Aurora, DynamoDB, Snowflake, and our FHIR server - with Athena for querying S3 and SageMaker for ML.
Compensation
- Competitive equity + compensation package ๐
Benefits
- You're entrepreneurial-minded with an olympian-level work ethic (about half our engineering team are former founders).
Company info
- We've found product-market fit with multi-million ARR, 100+ customers (including Amazon One, Medical Strive Health, Circle Medical, and Brightside Health), backing from top VCs, and years of runway.
- We push hard-founders work six days a week from our SF office-but give everyone freedom to craft their schedule.
- We measure output and we're committed to sustainable intensity.
- Metriport is an open-source data intelligence platform that helps healthcare organizations access and exchange patient data in real-time: record retrieval that used to take days now takes seconds, and clinicians walk into every appointment with the full patient picture.
- We're ready to scale.
- We're looking for "generalist" engineers who can operate at a Staff level:
- 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 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.
