The role offers a unique opportunity to work directly with the founding team and make a significant impact on healthcare technology. You'll be responsible for designing and developing infrastructure, features, and enhancements for the open source project using modern technologies like TypeScript and React.

The ideal candidate brings 5+ years of experience in large-scale systems, strong technical expertise, and a passion for building scalable, user-friendly solutions.

The position offers competitive compensation between $160K-$200K and the opportunity to work with a diverse team in San Francisco. You'll be joining a small but growing team of 3 people, working on meaningful projects that directly impact patient care and medical research. The role combines technical challenges with the opportunity to contribute to open source healthcare technology, making it ideal for engineers who want to make a difference in the healthcare sector while working with cutting-edge technology.

This is an excellent opportunity for experienced engineers who enjoy working in a startup environment, are passionate about healthcare technology, and want to be part of building something meaningful from the ground up.
