Staff Software Engineer (Full Stack Backend-Leaning)

The Opportunity

Our client is hiring a Staff Software Engineer to join their early engineering team. This is a full-stack role with a backend lean ideal for someone who can own larger technical systems end-to-end set engineering direction and help define how AI should be used responsibly in clinical environments.

This role is not just about shipping featuresits about building the foundation: architecture patterns reliability and the teams approach to execution.

What Youll Do

• Lead end-to-end delivery of impactful features across React TypeScript Postgres and AWS Lambda improving real workflows for staff and patients
• Set technical direction for core systems: API design data modeling scalability reliability and deployment patterns
• Design robust extensible systems built for the realities of clinical environments (edge cases safety change management uptime)
• Shape how AI is applied across the platformboth to improve engineering velocity and to safely automate high-value workflows
• Partner closely with product and clinical teams to navigate tradeoffs across safety usability compliance and automation
• Own the full project arc: clarify goals shape architecture manage risk coordinate execution and improve after launch
• Raise the bar across engineering by improving standards code review quality observability incident readiness and release confidence
• Mentor teammates and help build an engineering culture where concerns surface early and releases get smoother over time

What Our Client Is Looking For

Must-Haves

• Strong full-stack engineering background with a backend focus; proven track record shipping end-to-end systems

Why This Role

• Early-team ownership with meaningful influence over architecture product direction and engineering culture
• Mission-driven work that directly improves how hospitals operate and how patients experience care
• AI applied practically and responsiblyautomation where it helps safeguards where it matters
