About the company
Our client is a fast-growing software company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Join a small early engineering group as an independent builder who delivers product features from design through release and hardens backend systems as usage grows. Influence product direction and work closely with end users in a flat, manager-free team.
What you'll do
- Build new product features across the full stack, including AI-driven automation and language-model workflows.
- Improve infrastructure, backend services and existing code so systems stay reliable as volume grows.
- Shape the product by deciding what to build, how it should feel and why.
- Talk directly with frontline users and operations leaders to understand their needs.
- Collaborate in a flat team, giving feedback and picking up work from teammates.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- 3+ years of software engineering experience.
- Time spent at fast-growing early-stage companies.
- A record of taking software from concept to live use for paying users.
- Hands-on engineering background in an individual contributor or technical leadership capacity.
- A computer science bachelor's degree from a highly ranked US university, and/or a track record at well-regarded technology companies with strong engineering reputations.
- Ability to work hybrid in San Francisco, 4 days per week.
- Independent, product-minded approach that does not need close management.
Bonus points
- Background in healthcare, emergency medical services or insurance billing, or clinical experience.
- Experience with modern technologies such as TypeScript and AWS.
- EMT or similar certification.
