Escape the Machine. Build Something Real.

You've spent years perfecting your craft at Meta, Google, Amazon, Netflix, or another tech giant. You've optimized conversion rates by 0.03%. You've A/B tested button colors. You've sat through countless meetings about meetings. Your code touches millions of users, but you've never actually met one.

What if your next line of code could help someone break their family's cycle of heart disease? What if your architecture decisions could bring life-changing healthcare to patients who couldn't afford it before?

This Isn't FAANG. This Is Better.

No more:

• Quarterly OKRs that get shelved
• Projects that take 18 months to ship
• Working on features 0.01% of users will see
• Being one of 200 engineers on a "small" team

Instead:

• Your code ships to production in days, not quarters
• You'll talk directly to patients and providers (and actually care about their feedback)
• Every feature you build has measurable, real-world health outcomes
• You own entire product verticals, not microservices
• You'll see your work featured in user testimonials and success stories

What You'll Actually Do (No BS)

• Build and scale core infrastructure for our digital health platform—the stuff that actually keeps the lights on
• Own high-impact projects across provider portal, patient experience, operations, and marketplace dynamics. When something breaks, you fix it. When something needs building, you build it.
• Ship AI-powered features that actually matter—think intelligent patient matching, automated care plan optimization, and smart administrative workflows that save dietitians hours every day
• Integrate cutting-edge technologies like LLMs for clinical documentation, machine learning for patient outcomes prediction, and modern AI tools that make healthcare more efficient and effective
• Move fast and ship things—build provider and patient UIs, integrate 3rd-party services, make architectural decisions alongside our Head of Engineering, Head of Product, and Founders
• Build the future of healthcare tech—not just CRUD apps, but intelligent systems that learn, adapt, and improve patient outcomes with every interaction
• Make things work. APIs, backend services, frontend components, AI integrations—whatever it takes to create seamless experiences for people who desperately need our help

Requirements

You have the chops: 5+ years building and scaling systems at places that matter. You've made complex engineering decisions under pressure and have the battle scars to prove it.

You can build anything: Full-stack web development with backend chops. REST APIs, GraphQL, modern frameworks, PostgreSQL, HTML/CSS, strong JavaScript, and at least one backend language. You don't need specialists—you ARE the specialist.

You're entrepreneurial: You're ready to ditch the Big Tech playbook and embrace startup speed. You understand that "that's not my job" doesn't exist here—everything is your job if it needs doing, and that's exactly what excites you.

You think like a user: You want to build through a user-centric lens. You care about product and design decisions, not just technical ones. You get excited about 0-to-1 thinking instead of optimizing existing funnels.

You lead from the trenches: You're committed to the mission. You think on your feet, push through roadblocks, and inspire teammates to do the same. You've been the person others turn to when things get tough.

You're a team player: You're collaborative, competitive, and encouraging. You celebrate group wins and know that the best engineering happens when everyone's pulling in the same direction.

The Real Talk

This isn't a lifestyle company. We move fast, solve hard problems, and build things the right way. It's demanding work that requires focus, urgency, and sometimes unconventional hours.

If you want a predictable 40-hour week, stay at Big Tech. But if you want to grow rapidly, take real ownership, and see the direct impact of your work every day—if you want to help build something meaningful instead of optimizing ad click-through rates—then this is your escape hatch.
