About Colla Health

Our vision is to improve the quality of life of people with cancer. Today, we provide behavioral health care to the 17 million cancer patients in the US as an extension of their medical treatment. We have a world-class team of clinicians, technologists, and healthcare operations builders passionate about partnering with cancer centers to deliver supportive care to their patients.

Role Overview

Colla Health is seeking a Senior or Staff Software Engineer to serve as our lead engineer and first in-house technical hire. This is a unique opportunity to not just build software, but to help establish the engineering function from the ground up. You’ll play a critical role in designing and delivering the systems that power Colla Health’s mission to improve the quality of life for people with cancer.

You will work closely with our Head of Product, CEO, COO, Head of Clinical Operations, contract engineers, contract designers, behavioral health therapists, and other roles as the team grows. We will be building technology that supports our partner cancer centers through EMR integrations, enables our clinical team through easy-to-use care management tools, and helps patients with their mental health needs as they navigate their cancer journey. In this role, you’ll have the chance to shape not only the technology but also the engineering function and team.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain full-stack applications, including both front-end and back-end systems
• Develop greenfield software solutions, taking ideas from 0 to 1
• Build our care management tooling suite, from patient outreach and growth, to care delivery support, to patient-facing tools
• Participate in technical design discussions and contribute to driving engineering excellence by following best practices, coding standards, and architecture principles
• Collaborate with cross-functional team members to translate business needs into technical solutions
• Ensure operational excellence through automation, documentation, instrumentation of logs and metrics, monitoring, and alerting
• Provide technical leadership as we grow the engineering team
• Build integrations with external healthcare systems, typically using third-party APIs, ensuring data security and compliance with regulations

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as a software engineer, with hands-on full stack development experience
• Strong expertise in front-end and back-end development
• Proven success in early-stage startup environments, including the adaptability to flex from sole ownership to contributing outside your domain
• Familiarity with healthcare or other heavily regulated industries is strongly preferred
• Demonstrated ability to make architectural decisions and implement scalable software solutions
• Preference for some experience with TypeScript and AWS
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across functions
