StaffSoftwareEngineer

Welcome to Brightline! We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to bridge deep technical execution with cross-functional leadership, driving alignment across teams, influencing how we approach hard problems, and helping our engineering organization level up as we scale our platform and clinical infrastructure. 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 - Lead collaborate across engineering, product, design, and clinical/operations teams to ensure technical decisions serve business and clinical goals - 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 - Contribute meaningfully to engineering culture: process improvements, documentation, standards, and team health - Mentor and grow senior engineers through pairing, code review, architecture discussions, and direct feedback — raising the bar without gatekeeping - Own complex, multi-team technical initiatives end-to-end: from problem discovery and scoping through delivery and iteration, keeping stakeholders aligned along the way - Translate technical context clearly for non-technical stakeholders — surface risks early, communicate tradeoffs, and advocate for the right solution even when it requires changing direction - Bridge the gap between strategic technical direction and day-
