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
