Job description

About Providi

Providi is the company behind Cerbo and OptiMantra, two practice management and EHR products built for the cash-pay personalized care market. Together they serve nearly 7,000 clinics, from functional, integrative and longevity practices to direct primary care, concierge, med spa and behavioral health. Both products have served providers since 2011. Today we work as one team with one mission: to empower personalized care providers to deliver better patient outcomes and create thriving practices. We are provider-first. We build the technology, data and tools that give independent providers the autonomy to run their practices their way. That means configurable clinical workflows, lab integrations, scheduling, billing and patient engagement, with more on the way. Our name says what we do. "Provi" comes from provider, the people we build for. "I see." We see where personalized care is going, and we build for it.

Position Summary

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to own the design and delivery of significant features on a mature, cloud-based production platform, and to lift the quality of the engineers around you while you do it. You'll join a remote-first team where clear writing and deliberate communication are how work gets done. This is a hands-on role. You'll work with minimal direction on well-scoped and moderately ambiguous problems, partner with Product, Design, Support and clinical stakeholders to decide what to build as well as how, and mentor less experienced engineers through code review, pairing and design feedback. Most of your time goes to building the back-end platform, with some front-end work.

Primary Responsibilities

Build what matters

Design and deliver complex features end to end, from requirements through rollout and iteration, using Java and PHP on the back end and contributing to the front end as needed.
Work with PMs and designers to shape requirements: ask who the user is, challenge assumptions, and propose simpler paths.
Define what success looks like before you build, then measure it after you ship.
Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code and set the standard in code reviews.

Raise the team's game

Mentor engineers early in their careers through code review, pairing and design feedback.
Spot bottlenecks in code, tooling, testing or release, and fix them or make the case for fixing them.
Help the team adopt AI-assisted development in ways that measurably improve speed and quality.

Contribute to technical direction

Make and document sound design decisions for your area and contribute to architecture discussions that span teams.
Identify technical debt that limits the business and explain the trade-offs in business terms.
Support deployment, monitoring and on-call, and help resolve production incidents.
Protect reliability, performance, security and privacy in a platform that handles protected health information.

Communicate clearly

Keep stakeholders informed with concise, proactive written updates on status and risk.
Explain technical trade-offs to non-technical audiences, including management, customers and other teams.
Stay current with emerging technologies and best practices and bring back what is worth adopting.

Required Qualifications

5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including time owning features or systems from design through production.
Strong expertise in a modern backend ecosystem, ideally Java and PHP, and the range to work comfortably across the stack.
Experience designing, shipping and operating production systems on a major cloud provider (AWS, Azure or Google Cloud), including monitoring, incident response and on-call.
Hands-on experience with Git, Docker and Kubernetes.
Solid system design skills: data modeling, APIs and integrations, and performance.
Proven ability to lead without formal authority: you've guided a design, built consensus or moved a team toward a better approach.
Experience mentoring other engineers and improving how a team plans, tests and releases software.
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
Clear written and verbal communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and a track record of working well on a remote team.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience.

AI Fluency

We expect every engineer here to use AI tools well, and a senior engineer to show others how.

You use AI coding assistants regularly in professional work and can show where they have made you faster or your code better.
You write clear, specific prompts and give tools the context, structure and constraints they need to produce reliable results.
You review generated code critically and catch subtle bugs, inefficiencies and security issues.
You understand the limits of these tools, including hallucination, outdated patterns, context window constraints and non-determinism, and design your workflow around them.
You can help shape team practices and guardrails for using AI safely in a regulated, PHI-handling environment.
