About the role
This role sits where engineering meets customer results and business strategy. You would team up with customers and colleagues on hard technical problems, designing and shipping software that makes a real difference for healthcare providers. Some days you are deep in the codebase; on others you are at a client site turning a customer's frustration into working, deployed software. The team moves fast, holds a high bar, and works in the office.
What you'll do
- Ship code into the main platform to meet client needs, from bug fixes to new features to urgent issues
- Build trust with customers' domain experts, day-to-day users, and executives, explaining technical ideas in plain terms
- Convert fuzzy asks into clear requirements, technical specs, and achievable timelines, with no PRD handed to you
- Help large customers launch new practices by setting up integrations, adding workflow features, and pushing quick updates
- Coordinate delivery with sales, product, and engineering, and bring customer learnings back to the roadmap
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of software engineering experience
- Solid CS fundamentals and production coding skills in Python, TypeScript, or Go
- Clear, confident communication with engineers and non-engineers alike
- Enjoys a fast, high-bar environment where each day looks different
- Customer focus and willingness to spend time on-site with clients
