Our mission is to empower both patients and providers with personalized treatment plans, leveraging real-time data and AI-driven insights to significantly reduce hospitalizations and enhance long-term cardiac well-being. You will be an integral part of our dynamic engineering team, contributing to the evolution of our cutting-edge virtual cardiovascular care platform.
• • In this critical role, you will immerse yourself in our core systems, influencing how data is managed, services interact, and clinical workflows are optimized to support a growing national patient and provider base. This is an opportunity to work across the full stack, collaborating closely with talented engineers, contributing significantly to architectural decisions, and taking full ownership of high-impact technical initiatives. Your work will directly enhance the reliability, scalability, and performance of our platform, ensuring we can meet the increasing demands of modern healthcare delivery.
• • We are looking for an engineer who thrives on solving complex systems challenges, enjoys a high degree of autonomy, and is passionate about building technology that makes a tangible difference in patient lives. You will be instrumental in designing and evolving the critical platform components that underpin our care delivery model, ensuring seamless data interoperability and driving operational automation. This includes developing and refining robust APIs and service interfaces that facilitate effortless communication between our internal systems and with external partners, expanding our ecosystem and capabilities.
• • Collaboration is key to our success. You will work hand-in-hand with product managers, clinical experts, and operations teams to translate real-world healthcare needs into elegant and effective technical solutions. Your ability to understand diverse perspectives and synthesize them into actionable technical plans will be crucial.

This commitment to engineering excellence ensures our platform remains robust and adaptable.
• • As a Senior Software Engineer, you will have a significant influence on our architectural direction. You will actively participate in design discussions, evaluate emerging technologies, and champion system improvements that align with our strategic goals. Furthermore, you will contribute to fostering a culture of engineering excellence by actively mentoring junior engineers, providing thoughtful and constructive code reviews, and demonstrating a commitment to continuous learning and improvement. Your leadership and technical expertise will help elevate the entire engineering team.
• • This role is perfect for someone who is pragmatic, execution-focused, and possesses a deep understanding of distributed systems, relational databases (particularly PostgreSQL), and cloud environments (AWS). Proficiency in a modern, statically typed language like Rust (which is heavily utilized in our platform), Go, or Kotlin is essential. Experience designing and implementing APIs, working with documentation frameworks such as OpenAPI, and a solid grasp of service-oriented architectures and modular system design are highly valued. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes, and experience with monitoring and observability tools will enable you to hit the ground running. Strong communication skills are vital for effective cross-team collaboration in our remote-first environment.
• • We are seeking individuals who are not only technically adept but also driven by our mission to revolutionize cardiovascular care. If you are excited by the prospect of building technology that directly impacts patient outcomes, working in a fast-paced, agile environment, and contributing to a remote-first culture that values flexibility, autonomy, and trust, then this is the role for you. We believe that diversity is key to building an excellent patient experience and fostering innovation, and we are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
