What You’ll Do:

• Own the Code, Shape the Future
• Deliver High-Quality, Scalable Code

• Leverage MongoDB, Postgres, and Redis to ensure data integrity and speed at scale.

Develop Reusable Components and Utilities

• Contribute clean, modular code for our web and mobile applications (Ionic/React, Dart/Flutter).
• Work closely with the DevX team to enhance tooling and libraries that bolster productivity across our global engineering org.

Own the Full Software Development Lifecycle

• Deploy your own code using trunk-based development and short-lived feature branches with automated regression testing.

Collaborate with Product Managers and Customers

• Understand the real-world problems faced by our facility clients, nurses, and internal users.
• Occasionally engage directly with customers to gather feedback, confirm requirements, and ensure solutions truly solve their problems.

Embrace a Remote-First Culture

• Communicate effectively in a globally distributed team—embrace asynchronous discussions, thorough documentation, and over-communication when needed.
• Participate in daily overlap sessions or syncs, typically in the mornings (US PST), to stay aligned with your team.

Contribute to a Customer-Centric Approach

• Whether fixing bugs, tackling tech debt (about 20% of our time), or brainstorming new features, always keep the user’s experience front and center.
• Balance speedy fixes for pressing customer issues with longer-term structural improvements.

Participate in On-Call Rotations

• Own the systems you build: if something breaks, you’re part of the solution.
• Typically on-call for one week out of the month, ensuring our platform remains reliable around the clock.

What You Bring to the Table:

• A High-Ownership Mindset
• Professional Software Development
• Proficiency in building complex web or mobile apps, ideally with TypeScript, React, and Node/NestJS (but a specific language background is not required)
• Experience developing, monitoring, and supporting services in production.

Deep Technical Expertise

• Strong understanding of service-specific integration testing, E2E testing, and selective unit tests.
• Familiarity with AWS (ECS, Terraform) and best practices for deploying cloud-based applications.

Problem-Solving Chops

• You thrive in “low-structure, high-ownership” environments, diving deep into complex issues and surfacing clear, elegant solutions.
• Comfortable balancing immediate customer needs with robust long-term architecture planning.

Excellent Communication

• Clear writing is essential for our remote culture—you know how to articulate ideas, provide concise PR feedback, and document decisions thoroughly.
• Open to giving and receiving frequent feedback, even when it’s uncomfortable, to drive continuous improvement.

Customer Empathy

• Driven by a desire to make real-world impacts. You love collaborating with PMs and occasionally customers, ensuring that features resonate with end-users’ needs.

Bonus Points For

• Startup Experience: You’ve thrived in high-growth environments or founded your own venture, appreciating the speed and agility of startups.
