Senior Software Engineer, Platform
About the role
Lunar is a stealth technology company building a new type of software platform for health systems. We are on a mission to revolutionize healthcare with cutting-edge, AI-powered software designed to help every hospital deliver world-class care for their patients. Our platform is already the core backbone of health systems today, transforming clinical and operational workflows at scale with the world’s first AI-native hospital information system.

Responsibilities
- Modern cloud architecture, built from scratch: We have no legacy systems to untangle. We’re designing a modern cloud-native platform with Elixir at its core.
- Develop a radically better access control system for clinical data: Create a modern access control system with fine-grained permissions that respects clinical data structure and patient data ownership, while enabling population-level insights for better public health.
- Keep hospitals online 24/7 - no matter what: Design and ship infrastructure that can handle rolling deployments, failover, and real-time data sync in environments where downtime isn’t an inconvenience - it’s a risk to patient care.
- Bridge the gap between software and hardware: Architect a next-generation integration engine to connect ventilators, bedside monitors, imaging equipment, lab equipment, and more - reliably and in real time.
- Push hospital workflows into the modern age: Rethink how data moves between nurses, doctors, and administrators - and turn confusing, click-heavy workflows into fast, intuitive experiences.
Requirements
- Minimum of 6 years of professional software engineering experience.
- Proficiency with object oriented and functional programming, with the ability and willingness to use and adopt new technologies. We use tools such as Phoenix, Elixir, Python, Erlang, Javascript, and more.
- Strong ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative, and innovative team environment.
- Exceptional problem-solving skills, with a track record of tackling challenging engineering problems.
- Intellectually curious with a growth mindset - able to tackle entirely novel challenges that lack prior precedent through applying strong fundamentals and first principles thinking.
- Familiarity with open-source technology and a desire to explore and experiment with new solutions.
- Experience building 0-1 with a strong product sense.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to articulate technical decisions, trade-offs, and best practices.
