Job description

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and maintain scalable software systems

  • Build resilient infrastructure for serving data at scale and with high availability

Benefits

  • Public Benefit Corporation

  • Work from home opportunities- 3+ years of experience in software engineering

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

  • A deep understanding of systems design, data structures, and algorithms

  • Knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and infrastructure as code

  • Ability to be flexible, rational, and open-minded

  • Strong experience with at least one modern programming language such as Python, TypeScript, or Go

  • Experience designing and building REST APIs or distributed systems

  • Knowledge of microservice architecture and design principles

  • Experience working with knowledge graphs or graph databases

  • Familiarity with data migrations while maintaining service availability

  • Experience with containerization technologies such as Docker or Kubernetes

  • Experience deploying, monitoring, and supporting production services

  • Think in systems — mapping feedback loops, interdependencies, and second-order effects comes naturally to you

  • Care about the downstream effects of what you build — on users, on systems, on society

  • Operate with intellectual humility — always learning, always open to being wrong

  • Are motivated by purpose-driven work, particularly at the intersection of technology and healthcare

  • Lead with first principles and are comfortable questioning assumptions others take for granted

  • Believe technology should be a force for good and are drawn to the Public Benefit Corporation model

  • See complexity as an invitation, not an obstacle — you thrive when problems are messy and interconnected

  • Hold yourself and your work to a values-first standard, not just a deliverables-first one
