Software Engineer

About the role

An early‑stage startup building the operating system for psychotherapy practices is hiring a Founding Engineer. Their software helps therapists and practice owners understand business performance, spot areas needing attention, and drastically reduce admin time. The company has raised over $5 M, the team is six people in New York, and they are adding a third engineer to own a major product vertical: practice analytics and insights. This is a founding engineer seat — you’ll work directly with the co‑founders daily, own product areas end‑to‑end, and help shape both the product and the engineering culture from the ground up.

Responsibilities

• Own entire product verticals end to end: roadmap, architecture, execution, and production operations
• Build AI‑powered analytics and tooling that lets one practice operator support 40+ practices instead of 1‑2
• Run parallel Claude Code and Codex agent sessions to ship at dramatically higher velocity
• Architect and deploy full‑stack features in Python and React on AWS, with no dedicated DevOps support
• Make product decisions autonomously: spot the opportunity, form an opinion, and ship it without waiting for a spec
• Build the EHR integrations and data layer that practice analytics runs on

Requirements

• 5‑10+ years of full‑stack engineering with real product ownership
• Built and shipped a product end‑to‑end, zero to one, not just features inside a larger team
• Full‑stack fluency across frontend and backend, built from scratch rather than maintained
• Sophisticated agentic AI workflow: Claude Code or Codex deeply integrated with parallel sessions and custom tooling, not casual copilot use
• Hands‑on cloud infrastructure experience, AWS preferred, plus Docker
• High agency and an ownership mindset, comfortable with early‑stage intensity
• Based in New York City or willing to relocate promptly; role is five days a week in office

Qualifications

• Experience at a high‑growth startup or a top‑tier tech company
• Built product‑facing analytics features

Skills

• Python, FastAPI, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, AWS (ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, EC2), Docker, Playwright, GitHub Actions, Claude Code, Codex

Benefits

• Relocation support for candidates moving to New York
• Meaningful equity (approximately 0.5%‑1%)
• Visa transfer support (OPT, H1B) on a case‑by‑case basis

Pay

$200K‑$320K base salary, depending on experience

Schedule

Five days a week in office (New York City)
