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
