Key Accountabilities

• Help shape technical direction on the Essentials squad — contributing to architecture decisions and unblocking teammates — while staying hands‑on in Ruby on Rails, TypeScript, and React
• Lead by example in the codebase: write clean, maintainable, refactor‑friendly code and elevate quality through thoughtful code review and pairing
• Design and optimize back‑end systems, APIs, and data flows with a strong focus on performance and reliability, sharing what you learn along the way
• Build modern, responsive front‑end experiences using React, TypeScript, and CSS, with an eye toward maintainable architecture
• Work across relational databases (Postgres, MySQL, etc.), writing efficient SQL and shaping data models that support business growth
• Lead projects end‑to‑end, balancing hands‑on development with guiding others to successful delivery, surfacing risks early and communicating trade‑offs clearly
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with product, design, and QA to translate business needs into sound technical solutions
• Embrace AI‑assisted engineering: use tools like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot effectively, contribute to shared prompts and agentic workflows, and help the team learn what works
• Identify and prototype opportunities to apply LLMs and automation to engineering and internal workflows, with the guardrails appropriate to healthcare data and regulated billing

Desired Skills and Experience

• At least 7-10 years of full‑stack development experience, with Ruby on Rails as a core strength
• Experience with React, 5+ years preferred
• Experienced in leading projects end‑to‑end: from breaking down complex problems to shipping features that drive impact
• Passionate about mentoring, from pair programming to guiding architectural decisions, and helping others grow as engineers
• Daily, hands‑on fluency with AI development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot), with sharp judgment about where AI accelerates work and where human review is non‑negotiable
• Experience, or strong demonstrated interest, in building with LLM APIs: prompt design, evaluation, and safety considerations for sensitive data
• Highly organized with superb attention to detail
• Strong project management skills: comfortable with planning, estimation, and scoping
• Proven ability to work in an ever‑changing environment, ability to connect the dots and make decisions on your own feet
• Ability to produce quality materials within tight timeframes and simultaneously manage several projects
• Ability to communicate clearly and concisely, verbally and in writing
• Exercise sound judgment and work successfully with all employee levels, regardless of background and perspectives
• Be comfortable working in a distributed, semi‑virtual environment
