About the role

We're looking for a Staff Engineer to solve complex, cross-team technical challenges, set architectural direction, and act as a force multiplier across our engineering org. You'll translate strategic goals into technical roadmaps, lead execution, and champion AI-augmented development practices.

What You'll Do

  • Architect and own delivery of complex, high-impact systems spanning multiple teams
  • Set technical direction and coding/design standards across the org
  • Drive AI coding tool adoption (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor) — establish best practices and measure productivity gains
  • Mentor senior engineers and influence technical decisions without formal authority
  • Partner cross-functionally with product and business leaders on technical strategy
  • Own testing strategy, system health, and build-vs-buy decisions for critical infrastructure

What We're Looking For

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of leading complex, high-impact projects at scale
  • Expert-level TypeScript, Python, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL
  • Strong system design and cloud infrastructure experience (AWS preferred), including CI/CD and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Demonstrated success adopting AI coding assistants to improve team productivity
  • Excellent communication skills and experience mentoring senior engineers
  • Healthcare tech/regulatory experience (HIPAA, HITRUST) a plus

Preferred

  • Healthcare SaaS experience; familiarity with medical billing, claims, or clinical workflows
  • Experience shipping user-facing AI products or AI/ML model deployment
  • Open source contributions or technical publications
