Full Job Description
Welcome to Brightline! We are seeking a Full Stack Ruby on Rails Principal Software Engineer to drive technical direction across our platform, deepen our domain expertise in healthcare workflows, and raise the bar for the entire engineering team. We are primarily a Ruby on Rails shop and we are bought into keeping our tech stack simple so that we focus on shipping fast and having fun. Instead of betting on exciting new technologies, we favor straightforward solutions and defining standards so that the codebase and ecosystem are a joy to work with. We use Turbo, Tailwind, and ViewComponent to make beautiful UIs. Stimulus brings them to life and if we feel the need for it, we might sprinkle some React on top. We use Typescript where we think it benefits us, and default to Javascript otherwise. Our mobile apps leverage Hotwire Native to take advantage of existing web infrastructure. Responsibilities: - Drive collaboration on technical direction for complex, cross-cutting systems — data modeling, API design, clinical workflow architecture, and integration patterns - Scope and shape work end-to-end: from identifying the right problem to solving it, collaborating closely with product and design to define what “done” looks like - Write code across the entire stack (currently Ruby + Rails on the backend and Turbo/Tailwind on the frontend) with a focus on the systems and abstractions that other engineers build on - Evaluate technical risk and tradeoffs clearly — know when to invest in architecture and when to ship the simplest thing that works - Mentor and elevate the team through architecture discussions, pairing, code review, and setting high standards without gatekeeping - Build deep domain expertise in our problem space and use it to challenge product assumptions, surface risks early, and advocate for provider and member experience - Collaborate across engineering, product, design, and clinical/operations teams to ensure technical decisions serve business and clinical go
