Job description

CareNet Health keeps a small, opinionated engineering team in Bakersfield, and the next opinion we need belongs to a Senior Software Engineer. Rare is the senior opening that pairs $106,000 - $151,000 with the freedom to shape technology work the way this Bakersfield one does.

Key Responsibilities

• Document the Prioritization system so the next senior engineer onboards in days, not weeks
• Build Adaptability self-service tools so Bakersfield teams stop filing tickets for everything
• Sit with technology users in Bakersfield to learn what the Python tool really needs
• Carry features from whiteboard sketch to Bakersfield, CA production without dropping the baton
• Document technical decisions, architecture, and APIs for the broader org
• Mentor the senior cohort through their first real Rust on-call at CareNet Health
• Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using Node.js and Flask
• Own the senior Adaptability workstream that unblocks the rest of CareNet Health's Bakersfield, CA roadmap

What You’ll Bring

• A CA work history, or strong reasons you’ll thrive here anyway
• At least 5 years of standing behind your own estimates
• Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
• Familiarity with Adaptability and related tools or frameworks

Every product at CareNet Health reflects the zero-bureaucracy standards our Bakersfield, CA team holds itself to. Diverse perspectives make our technology work sharper, and we deliberately seek them out.

You’ll be supported by $106,000 - $151,000, strong health coverage, conference budgets, and a team that promotes from within.

Recruiting for this remote position is happening in real time, not on a backlog.
