Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack)

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 3-5+ years of experience to join a fast-growing AI healthcare startup and own projects that span the entire stack. You'll be building greenfield products that automate the healthcare recruiting pipeline — from sourcing to onboarding — at a company that's already powering thousands of candidate interactions monthly and scaling to millions. You should have experience at both an early-stage VC-backed startup and a larger tech company, bringing best practices without being rigid. This is a high-ownership role where you'll work closely with the founding team, ship quickly, and see your work in production with real feedback loops the next day.

Responsibilities

• Own and deliver greenfield projects across the full stack (backend, infrastructure, and frontend) powering Take2's new product suite
• Evolve and scale the backend architecture as the platform grows from thousands to millions of candidate interactions
• Build and ship end-to-end features in a TypeScript-first environment on serverless AWS infrastructure
• Collaborate directly with the Director of Engineering and founding team with extremely short feedback loops and high autonomy
• Help establish engineering standards and technical culture as a key early member of an 11-person team
