Full Job Description
About Us: Lunar is a stealth technology company building a new type of software platform for health systems. We are on a mission to revolutionize healthcare with cutting-edge, AI-powered software designed to help every hospital deliver world-class care for their patients. Our platform is already the core backbone of health systems today, transforming clinical and operational workflows at scale with the world’s first AI-native hospital information system. This next-generation platform is a fundamental rebuild of the information infrastructure that runs health systems. All of it – from doctors, nurses, pharmacists, lab technicians, coders, billers, supply chain, and even patients – Lunar’s software powers everything, soup-to-nuts. We believe that this mission is the moon landing of healthcare – something so consequential and ambitious that most people believe it to be impossible. Backed by Silicon Valley’s preeminent venture capital firms, we believe in the power of a small, high performance team of seasoned professionals operating at the peak of their abilities. We value people who are driven, curious, have sound judgement, and care about doing the best work of their careers. We run hospitals on Elixir. We’ve embraced Elixir for its fault tolerance, concurrency, and scalability - essential for handling real-time patient data in mission-critical settings like Emergency Departments, ICUs, and Operating Rooms. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who’s excited to tackle some of the hardest technical problems in healthcare - and do it with a small, fast-moving, and deeply mission-driven team. If you care about writing clean, robust code and want to rebuild from scratch the software infrastructure of modern hospitals, we’d love to talk. Here are some deep technical problems you may tackle in your first 6 months: - Modern cloud architecture, built from scratch: We have no legacy systems to untangle. We’re designing a modern cloud-native platform with Elixir at its
