About the role

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Logistics Optimization team. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Design and implement algorithms that optimize clinician routing, scheduling, and dispatch at national scale
  • Build simulations that model demand, capacity, and patient behavior under real-world constraints
  • Develop predictive models for cancellations, no-shows, and overbooking optimization
  • Collaborate with product and ops teams to translate complex logistics challenges into scalable software systems
  • Prototype and productionize forecasting and optimization models in a distributed environment
  • Own projects end-to-end—from design to implementation and iteration
