Founding Software Engineer

Job Description Do you want to use your software engineering and design skills to save lives and make healthcare better for everyone? At Empirical Health, we’re inventing the future of primary care – and we want you.

Responsibilities

Founding software engineers are responsible for our entire product–both our consumer-facing Empirical Health app, and the Empirical Clinic app used by our clinical team to care for patients.

Some examples of what you might do:

• Design and build new mobile app features to help people with Long COVID get tested and treated. You’ll be responsible for the full stack, from designing the database schema to building the server and mobile code, to deploying to production.
• Collaborate directly with doctors (and other clinicians) to design and build features in our custom EMR, Empirical Clinic, which builds on top of Elation, Zus, and other digital health platforms.
• Analyze funnel metrics for a new launch using SQL or Python/Pandas.
• Debug production outages.

About you

Ideally, you have:

• Strong knowledge of Typescript or Javascript, React or React Native, and SQL.
• A sense of design
• Excellence in the basics: simple code, reasonable automated tests, code review, clear comments, and quick iteration cycles.
• Strong owner’s mindset.

Nice to haves:

• iOS (Swift) or Android (Kotlin) experience is good, but since the majority of our codebase is in React Native, you can learn native development as you go.
• Exposure to healthcare, bioinformatics, or digital health is helpful, but if you're willing to learn, we're willing to teach.
• Familiarity with Figma or other design tools is a plus.

Benefits

• Medical, vision, and dental insurance.
• Generous equity, with extended option windows and early exercise provided by default.
• 401k
• Office space in New York City (currently in the FiDi)
• $1,000 home office budget
