About the Role

As a software engineer, you will help lead the charge in developing elegant solutions to complicated problems. You'll design and implement responsive, accessible web applications on top of our Laravel and PHP platform, working the full depth of it: Eloquent models and MySQL schemas, Redis-backed queues, the APIs that tie it together, and the payment and identity integrations our practices depend on.

• Partner with Product and QA to turn requirements into robust technical solutions, breaking down and estimating work while holding the line on security, testing, accessibility, and maintainability
• Raise the bar with agentic AI tools like Cursor and Claude Code, applying sound agent harness design, skills, and subagents to ship higher-quality software faster

Skills

• Deep proficiency in modern PHP and Laravel, including Eloquent, relational data modeling in MySQL, and queue-driven background work on Redis and Horizon, ideally in containerized environments like Docker and FrankenPHP
• Fluency with software design patterns and object-oriented design principles applied to code running at scale in production, plus a track record of integrating and debugging third-party APIs and webhooks where payments, email deliverability, or SSO are involved
• Working command of security best practices, including client-side security and the careful handling of payment and patient data, plus WCAG accessibility requirements and automated testing with PHPUnit or Pest
• Legally authorized to work permanently in the US without employer sponsorship

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in software engineering at a fast-growing SaaS company; healthcare experience is a plus
