Our mission is to partner with patients to help them achieve their goals, whatever those may be. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to build a family if they choose, and our team is committed to guiding and supporting patients every step of the way.

Why should you join our team?

This highly cross-functional role combines software engineering, AI implementation, systems integration, product development, and operational problem solving. The engineer will work directly with clinical, laboratory, patient experience, finance, HR, operations, and executive stakeholders to identify friction, rapidly develop solutions, and deploy technology that creates measurable impact.

This is not a traditional engineering role. The ideal candidate enjoys sitting with users, understanding real workflows, building quickly, and seeing solutions drive better outcomes across clinics and corporate operations.

Key Responsibilities

Deploy Technology Where It Creates the Most Impact

• Partner directly with clinical and operational teams to understand pain points and opportunities.
• Embed within business functions to identify inefficiencies and opportunities for automation.
• Translate operational challenges into secure, scalable technical solutions.
• Lead initiatives from discovery and prototyping through implementation, adoption, and measurement.

Build Internal Products and Workflows

• Design and develop applications, automations, and workflows that improve employee productivity and patient experience.
• Build solutions using APIs, cloud platforms, low-code tools, and custom software.
• Connect data across operational, financial, clinical, laboratory, and patient-facing platforms.
• Rapidly prototype ideas and transition successful pilots into reliable production solutions.

Accelerate Responsible AI Adoption

• Identify practical uses of AI that reduce administrative burden and improve employee effectiveness.
• Build and deploy AI agents, copilots, intelligent workflows, and internal knowledge solutions.
• Develop retrieval-augmented generation solutions using appropriately governed internal information.
• Partner with privacy, security, legal, clinical, and operational stakeholders to deploy AI responsibly in healthcare workflows.
• Measure adoption, quality, business impact, and return on investment.

Integrate Critical Business Systems

• Design and implement integrations across fertility EMRs, clinical and laboratory systems, Microsoft 365 and Azure, Salesforce and patient engagement tools, HRIS and finance platforms, contact-center technologies (Salesforce AgentForce AI Voice), and other enterprise applications.
• Improve interoperability, data integrity, and workflow continuity while reducing duplicate entry and manual handoffs.
• Troubleshoot complex issues that span applications, vendors, data flows, and business processes.

Drive Data-Informed Decision Making

• In partnership with the Analytics/Reporting team, build dashboards and reporting solutions for clinical, financial, and operational leaders.
• Partner with stakeholders to define useful metrics and performance indicators.
• Create reliable data pipelines that make information more accessible and actionable.
• Support data governance, security, stewardship, and documentation practices.

Operate as a Strategic Problem Solver

• Work with senior leaders on high-priority initiatives that span people, process, and technology.
• Move comfortably between strategy, stakeholder alignment, hands-on development, and implementation.
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to both technical and non-technical partners.
• Identify high-value opportunities and take ownership from ambiguity to measurable results.

Education and Skills

Required

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or equivalent practical experience.

• Experience building and consuming APIs and integrating SaaS or enterprise systems.
• Demonstrated ability to deliver business-facing technical solutions from discovery through adoption.
• Ability to work effectively with executives, clinicians, operational leaders, and front-line users.

Preferred

• Experience building AI-enabled products and workflows using large language models.
