We’re hiring a product engineer to join a small, fast-moving team building and shipping CMx.

We need someone who increases build velocity immediately and fits naturally into a transparent, high-tempo team culture.

We’re a tight knit team that cares more about getting it right than being right. We challenge each other openly, move fast, and stay focused on what matters i.e. the product. Leave ego at the door.

• Participate in customer discovery and user interviews with clinical end users.
• Work with LLMs and AI agents as core product components.
• Contribute to architecture, deployment, and infrastructure decisions.
• Help scale the product across hospital deployments, navigating constraints like VPN access and on-premise environments.

Requirements

• 2-4 years of software engineering experience.
• Strong Python and TypeScript skills. You are able to write and debug both without relying on coding agents as a crutch.
• Frontend/UI development experience. You are comfortable building and troubleshooting React interfaces.
• Fast learner who picks up new technologies and domain context quickly.
• Genuine interest in healthcare (domain experience not required).
• Someone the team actually wants to work with when things break at midnight.
