Job description

Company Overview:

The client is a venture-backed startup simplifying access to essential benefits for frontline workers. Their AI-powered platform helps employees easily find and apply for benefits like childcare, elder care, and nutrition programs.

With backing from major enterprise retail investors and $2.5M secured in funding, they're expanding their reach to serve leading retailers, healthcare providers, and Fortune 500 companies. Our diverse, remote-first team is spread across the globe, united in our mission to empower employees and create healthier workplaces.

They're currently on the brink of Series A funding, which means you'll have the opportunity to join them at an exciting stage of growth.

Your Role:

  • Take ownership of designing, implementing, and scaling the platform's core backend systems and data pipelines.
  • Lead end-to-end development for critical platform features, ensuring quality, performance, and scalability.
  • Define the architecture and standards for identity management, security solutions, and third-party API integrations.
  • Champion best practices in reliability engineering, DevOps, and infrastructure-as-code across the engineering team.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product, design, and data, to shape the future of the platform.
  • Collaborate with a small team of experienced engineers on full-stack development, impacting both backend systems and frontend technologies

This role involves both hands-on technical work and high-level problem-solving.

You Bring:

  • 8+ years of experience as a software engineer, with a proven track record of leading complex projects end-to-end.
  • Expertise in system architecture, designing scalable and reliable software solutions.
  • Strong backend foundation (Node.js, Python, Javascript, etc.), with proficiency in modern cloud technologies (AWS or similar).
  • Experience implementing secure systems, including best practices for handling sensitive data and integrating identity verification.
  • Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
  • Experience building and shipping scalable software

Bonus points:

  • Experience automating complex processes (e.g., eligibility checks, fraud detection)
  • Experience building systems handling large volumes of sensitive data (privacy/security focus)
  • Experience integrating identity verification features (facial recognition, document verification)

What They Offer:

  • Competitive salary $70k-100k USD per year + Stocks + PTO depending on level and experience
  • Equity in a high-growth startup
  • Comprehensive benefits package (tailored to your location)
  • The opportunity to make a tangible impact on people's lives
  • A collaborative, remote-first culture

Interview Process:

  • Screening
  • 45-minute chat with our Head of Product
  • Culture-fit interviews with 2-3 team members across different functions
  • 1-hour technical assessment (collaborative problem-solving)
  • Final interview with founders and offer presentation

This is an immediate hire, so apply today if you're ready to build the future of population care!
