Senior Software Engineer / Technical Lead

Seattle, WA 98011

Job Description

Role Overview
We are building a proprietary healthcare platform from the ground up—without relying on existing EHR or patient record solutions. The goal is to create a unified patient operating system that provides a holistic, longitudinal view of each patient and enables predictive insights into who will need care and when.

This role is critical and immediate. You will take ownership of an early-stage platform currently developed by an external dev shop, identify technical gaps, and drive the architecture forward until an internal engineering team is established. You will partner closely with a product-led founder who has defined the strategy and roadmap and needs a senior technical counterpart to execute, challenge assumptions, and shape the system design.

Key Responsibilities

  • Take over and advance an existing dev shop–built codebase, including evaluating architecture, identifying gaps, and improving scalability and reliability.

  • Design and build a custom patient record system from scratch (no off-the-shelf healthcare platforms or EHRs).

  • Architect the core patient operating system to support a holistic, longitudinal view of patient data.

  • Build foundational data models to support predictive care use cases (who needs care, and when).

  • Lead backend development on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using healthcare-appropriate services.

  • Design and implement FHIR-based data models to support patient lists and core clinical entities.

  • Build and maintain integrations with third-party systems, including telephony (RingCentral).

  • Own backend infrastructure including Firebase, BigQuery, and GitHub Actions for CI/CD.

  • Collaborate with product leadership to translate product strategy into technical execution and clearly articulate technical risks, gaps, and tradeoffs.

  • Establish engineering best practices, documentation, and standards in preparation for future hires.

  • Maintain control over the application UI architecture while remaining primarily backend-focused.

Technical Environment

  • Cloud: Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

  • Backend: Firebase Cloud Functions

  • Frontend Framework: Remix (React Router v7) with server-side rendering

  • Data: Firebase, BigQuery

  • Healthcare Models: FHIR

  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions

  • Integrations: RingCentral (telephony)

Required Qualifications

  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with senior-level ownership of backend systems.

  • Strong hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) — this is a must-have.

  • Healthcare experience with FHIR data models and patient record systems.

  • Experience building custom healthcare platforms or patient databases from scratch.

  • Strong backend engineering background; capable of full-stack work but not frontend-focused.

  • Experience taking over externally built projects and driving them forward independently.

  • Comfortable working in ambiguity and making foundational architectural decisions.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior experience in early-stage startups or zero-to-one platform builds.

  • Experience with predictive analytics or data modeling in healthcare.

  • Integration-heavy system experience (telephony, third-party APIs, data pipelines).

  • Experience working closely with product-led founders or leadership teams.

Compensation: $170k plus equity
