Software Engineer

About this role

Responsibilities

• We’re hiring a Software Engineer to maintain and grow the platform that clinicians rely on every day. You’ll work across the whole stack and in both of our main repositories: the SvelteKit front end and the Python services that power document generation with large language models. You’ll take features from idea to production, keep the platform fast, reliable and cost-effective, and work closely with our Product Engineer and engineering leadership to turn the roadmap into shippable work. You’ll also help set the engineering standard for the team through thoughtful code review and sound technical judgement.
• This role suits a broad, highly capable engineer who enjoys owning problems end to end rather than staying in one layer. You’ll be comfortable moving from a Svelte component to a FastAPI service to a database migration in a single afternoon, and you’ll enjoy the detective work of tracing a slow request or getting to the root cause of a production incident. You’ll lead in some areas and learn from teammates in others, and you’ll care as much about quality, safety and maintainability as you do about shipping.
