Senior Software Engineer (Logistics Research Team)
Sprinter Health
Job description
-
We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join our Logistics Optimization team, where we tackle some of the hardest algorithmic and operational problems in healthcare
-
You’ll design systems that balance clinician supply, patient demand, and routing efficiency—essentially the logistics backbone of Sprinter’s in-home care delivery model
-
This is a deeply technical, high-impact role where you’ll work on problems at the intersection of operations research, simulation, and scalable distributed systems
-
Design and implement algorithms that optimize clinician routing, scheduling, and dispatch at national scale
-
Build simulations that model demand, capacity, and patient behavior under real-world constraints
-
Develop predictive models for cancellations, no-shows, and overbooking optimization
-
Collaborate with product and ops teams to translate complex logistics challenges into scalable software systems
-
Prototype and productionize forecasting and optimization models in a distributed environment
-
Own projects end-to-end—from design to implementation and iteration
-
Our tech stack:
-
TypeScript / Node.js
-
Python
-
GraphQL
-
AWS Amplify Stack (AppSync, DynamoDB, Lambda, CloudFormation)
-
BigQuery, Elasticsearch / OpenSearch
-
Looker, Kibana
-
Forecasting, simulation, and optimization frameworks
-
Custom route annealing and distributed scheduling models
Benefits
-
Free lunch everyday and fully-stocked microkitchens and coffee/tea bar
-
Team offsites, game hours, tech talks, and design sprints
-
Health insurance benefits (PPO / HMO / HSA, 100% of family premiums paid)
-
Dental / vision / wellness benefits
-
401k matching
-
Unlimited PTO
-
Flexible work-from-home policy for work/life balance (4 days in-office, accommodation for occasional WFH days)
-
Relocation assistance
-
Generous parental leave (4 months for the birthing parent, 3 months for a partner, 100% paid)- Collaborated cross-functionally with product, ops, or data science teams to drive measurable impact
-
Experience designing or implementing optimization, forecasting, or simulation systems
-
Proficiency in JavaScript / TypeScript (preferred) and/or Python
-
5+ years of software engineering experience with strong backend or full-stack fundamentals
-
Background in operations research, applied math, or quantitative modeling
-
Shipped production systems that balance technical complexity and real-world constraints
-
Background in logistics, scheduling, or large-scale routing systems
-
Experience with global optimization techniques or Monte Carlo simulations
-
Prior work in healthcare or other operationally complex, data-heavy environments
-
You’re motivated by solving real problems that improve access to care
-
Experience in 0→1 environments or scaling early-stage technical systems- We aim to complete the process within 2–3 weeks. It typically includes:
-
Recruiter Screen (30 minutes)
-
Hiring Manager Conversation (30 minutes)
-
Technical Assessment — algorithms, systems design, or applied problem solving (45 minutes)
-
Onsite Interview (3 hours) - Systems Design (optimization / logistics-focused) + Behavioral Interview + Lunch with the team
-
