Full-Stack Software Engineer
About the role
We're hiring on behalf of a well-funded, early-stage healthcare startup building their core product from the ground up. This is a full-time, in-person role in New York City. We're not looking for someone to maintain an existing codebase — we're looking for someone who has shipped production software from zero to one before, and wants to do it again.
Responsibilities
- Full-stack feature work across the core product: Node.js/TypeScript backend, React frontend, PostgreSQL data layer
- Real, scoped pieces of the product roadmap — not maintenance work or isolated tickets
- Close collaboration with a small, early team where your technical decisions directly ship to users
Requirements
- 4+ years of full-stack software engineering experience — this is a firm floor, not a soft preference
- Hands-on production experience with Node.js, TypeScript, React, and PostgreSQL
- A track record of shipping production software from 0 to 1, not just maintaining what's already built
- Strong product instincts and UX/UI judgment — you care about how something feels to use, not just whether it works
- A completed undergraduate degree in Computer Science, ideally from a globally top-ranked program (exceptionally strong candidates with a different technical background or school can still be considered if the rest of the profile is outstanding)
- Currently working as an individual-contributor engineer (Software Engineer / Senior Software Engineer). This role is not a fit for candidates who have already held a CTO, VP of Engineering, Head of Engineering, Principal Engineer, or Founding Engineer title — we're looking for a strong senior IC, not someone stepping down from a leadership seat
- Based in or genuinely open to relocating to New York City — this is an in-person, NYC-based role
Skills
- Some signal of excellence: a strong school, time at a notable VC-backed startup or scale-up, a fast career trajectory, or side projects worth showing off
- Experience with LLMs, AI agents, or voice technology
Benefits
Open to OPT and H-1B transfers. O-1 and TN sponsorship or transfers may also be supported on a case-by-case basis.
Pay
$150,000 – $230,000 base salary — generally $150K–$200K for 4-6 years of experience, with a higher band and Senior Software Engineer title available for more experienced candidates. (Note: significantly more senior candidates who have already held C-level or VP-level engineering titles are not a fit for this particular seat, regardless of comp expectations.)
