- • You will own end-to-end development of key product features from concept to deployment, working closely with co-founders, a product manager, a graphic designer, and fellow engineers to gather real-world feedback from client calls and translate it into meaningful improvements that drive continual product excellence.
- • Your day-to-day responsibilities include designing, coding, testing, and maintaining full-stack features using Python and PostgreSQL on Linux, contributing to AI-enhanced functionalities, participating in code reviews, debugging production issues, and mentoring junior engineers through knowledge sharing and collaborative problem-solving.

- • You will contribute to a culture of rapid iteration and innovation, where ambiguity is embraced and change is constant—requiring a startup-minded approach that values initiative, adaptability, and a bias toward action over perfectionism.
- • Over time, you will deepen your expertise in healthcare technology domains, learning how medical offices operate behind the scenes, even though prior healthcare experience is not required—Nextpatient provides the context and training to succeed.
- • You will have the opportunity to grow into a technical leader within the team, potentially guiding architectural decisions, mentoring peers, and influencing hiring and process improvements as the company scales thoughtfully.
- • Your work will directly impact thousands of patients and healthcare providers nationwide, giving you a sense of purpose by improving access to care and reducing administrative burden in a meaningful, measurable way.

- • Strong proficiency in full-stack development using Python and PostgreSQL, including experience building scalable web applications and RESTful APIs
- • Demonstrated ability to thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced startup environments with comfort navigating changing priorities and evolving requirements
