Full Job Description
SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER Metriport is an open-source data intelligence platform that helps healthcare organizations access and exchange patient data in real-time. We integrate with all major US healthcare IT systems and tap into comprehensive medical data for 300+ million individuals. We've found product-market fit with multi-million ARR, 100+ customers (including Strive Health, Circle Medical, and Brightside Health), backing from top VCs, and years of runway. We're ready to scale. We're a tight-knit, high-performing team of mostly former founders (including two YC alumni). We're engineering-heavy, operate with minimal bureaucracy and high autonomy, and hire based on competence, not prestige. We push hard—founders work six days a week from our SF office—but give everyone freedom to craft their schedule. We measure output and we're committed to sustainable intensity. ABOUT YOU In a nutshell, we're looking for “generalist” engineers with the following specific qualities: - You’re entrepreneurial-minded, with an olympian-level work ethic (nearly our entire engineering team consists of former founders). - You are confident in your ability to build scalable systems across the full stack, and people usually come to you for technical guidance. - You believe you can solve any problem that comes at you, and don't shy away from diving deep into areas where you may lack domain expertise. - You have a strong sense of ownership over your work, and have demonstrated the ability to lead others. - You care more about the end result and delivering value to a customer, rather than what new and frilly tech is being used under the hood for a given feature. - When someone scopes out a project with an ETA of 3 weeks, you ask yourself "why can't it be done in 3 days?". - You’re a hacker at heart, and have a good sense of what rules should, and shouldn’t, be broken. WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING After quickly ramping up using our comprehensive onboarding materials to get familiar with our domain, a
