What we're looking for

We need a Founding Software Engineer with 2+ years of full-stack TypeScript experience, preferably in a healthcare or fintech startup. This is a super exciting and mission-driven role at a well funded startup ($6.5M raised), where you can shape engineering and broader culture.

What you'll do

  • Develop, test, and release new features, shipping production code from day one.

  • Work across the full stack: backend, frontend, infrastructure, architecture, analytics, and integrations.

  • Design and work with data structures, analytics modeling, and parsing complex healthcare datasets to surface actionable insights.

  • Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical decision-making to ensure a clean, stable, and maintainable codebase.

  • Opportunity to own problems end-to-end and wear multiple hats—whether that's working directly with customers, shaping product roadmaps, or iterating on UX design.

  • Work in a hybrid environment in NYC, collaborating closely with the team in person.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience as a full-time full-stack TypeScript software engineer (back-end leaning)

  • Experience with React, TypeScript, Node.js

  • Experience in healthcare and fintech preferred

  • Extremely high competency with AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor)

  • Ideally 1+ year at a venture-backed startup (pre Series B)

  • Experience turning unstructured, complex datasets into business insights

  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code, LLMs, and cloud-based data pipelines

Compensation

  • Salary bands: $130-200K (includes mid level and senior bands; candidates with higher YOE may be considered for principal level)

  • Equity: 10K-40K per annum

  • Full-time, hybrid (minimum 2 days/week in person in NYC, Union Square)

  • Visa sponsorship not available

Interview Process

  1. Interview with Head of Engineering (30 minutes)

  2. Interview with Founder/CEO (30 minutes)

  3. Technical interview / practical technical conversation (1 hour)

  4. (Optional) Onsite & lunch with team (~2 hours)
