Why This Role Stands Out You'll own high-impact systems that directly affect patient and provider experiences. You'll shape backend architecture and engineering best practices in a growing company. You'll join a profitable, non-VC-backed organization focused on long-term sustainability. You'll work in-person with an ambitious, mission-driven team in downtown San Francisco. Competitive compensation, equity opportunities, and strong benefits designed to help you thrive. This is a great opportunity to be a key member of the engineering team, taking technical ownership of our pharmacy platform's core backend systems. Your work will directly power real-time healthcare operations and improve access to care. If you're excited to apply your engineering expertise to meaningful healthcare infrastructure - and want to join a company that values autonomy, sustainability, and impact - we want to hear from you!
