Job description

Junior Software Engineer

Location: New York City
Search Partner: Bedrock Talent

About the Opportunity

Bedrock Talent is partnering with a fast-growing, venture-backed healthcare technology company that is using AI and large-scale data analysis to help healthcare providers better understand and navigate insurance-company behavior.

The company is solving a difficult and consequential problem: healthcare providers need to be paid accurately and efficiently so they can continue delivering care. Its platform transforms complex healthcare transaction data into actionable intelligence, helping provider organizations make better financial and operational decisions.

This is a technically ambitious company with a mission-driven, collaborative team. As a Junior Software Engineer, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers, PhD-level data scientists, and the CTO on real production systems from day one.

We are hiring a junior software engineer. In this role, you’ll contribute to the backend infrastructure powering the company’s products while learning how to design scalable systems, build reliable APIs, and translate complex data into software that customers use every day.

The team believes the fastest way to grow is by owning meaningful work, collaborating closely with experienced colleagues, and shipping software that makes an immediate impact.

This role is based in New York City, where you’ll work closely with the engineering team in person.

What You’ll Do

• Build backend services and APIs that power customer-facing products
• Contribute to data ingestion and processing pipelines, with an emphasis on reliability and data quality
• Build GenAI-powered product features that solve real customer problems
• Collaborate with senior engineers to design scalable, maintainable systems
• Work closely with data scientists to turn machine learning models into production software
• Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and architecture decisions
• Learn quickly, take ownership, and contribute throughout the product development lifecycle
• Continuously strengthen your technical judgment and engineering skills

What We’re Looking For

We’re much more interested in potential, initiative, and trajectory than years of experience.

You may be a strong fit if you have:

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field from a rigorous academic program
• Strong computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, and software design
• Programming experience with Python, Java, Scala, or another modern language through coursework, internships, research, or personal projects
• A genuine passion for building software and solving difficult technical problems
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• Curiosity, humility, and a desire to learn from experienced engineers
• The motivation to take ownership and contribute to production systems early in your career

Nice to Have

• Internship experience at a technology company or startup
• Personal projects, hackathon experience, research, or open-source contributions
• Experience with SQL, cloud platforms, or distributed systems
• Exposure to APIs, backend development, or data engineering
• An interest in GenAI, machine learning, or data-intensive applications

Why This Opportunity?

You’ll join a small, high-caliber team where your work matters, your ideas are heard, and your development is a genuine priority.

You’ll learn directly from experienced engineers, collaborate with accomplished data scientists, and gain exposure to every stage of building and scaling a modern software platform. Most importantly, you’ll work on challenging technical problems whose impact extends beyond software and revenue metrics to the healthcare organizations and patients the system ultimately serves.

If you’re excited about solving difficult engineering problems, applying cutting-edge GenAI, shipping production software, and accelerating your growth alongside an exceptional team, Bedrock Talent would love to hear from you.
