Senior Software Engineer - 1

About Stellar Health:

Historically, US Healthcare has relied on a fee-for-service reimbursement system where providers are paid based on the quantity of patient visits and procedures, rather than the quality of health outcomes.

At Stellar Health, we help primary care providers put patient health first. Our platform - a mix of technology, people, and analytics - supports providers at the point of care, delivering real-time patient information, activating practice staff, and empowering providers and care teams with incentives that reward the work they are already doing to keep patients healthy. Using the Stellar App, our web-based, point-of-care tool; practices receive a simple checklist of recommended actions that support the best quality care. Providers and care teams are then paid monthly for each action they complete, and Payors save money in reduced healthcare costs along the way.

Stellar is a US-based Health-tech backed by Top VCs (General Atlantic, Point72, & Primary Venture Partners)​​ with an established product & proven operating model. We’ve shown that we make a real difference for physician practices and their patients.

About the position:

As a Senior Software Engineer - 1, you will be a trusted owner inside one of our engineering squads and will be building and maintaining core parts of our data and/or application platform end-to-end. You'll make well-reasoned design tradeoffs, partner closely with PM, Design, Analytics, and QA inside the squad, and write design docs that communicate your technical decisions to the team.

What You'll Bring:

• A minimum of five years of total professional engineering experience, with recent hands-on experience writing production-level back-end code (Python preferred / Java / C++ / Go) as well as front-end technologies (JavaScript/TypeScript and frameworks like React, Angular or VueJS).

• A track record of driving complex medium to large projects end-to-end from technical design through launch.

• Experience in a cloud platform such as AWS (preferred), GCP, or Azure.

• Expertise in relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL.

• Experience writing technical design docs for your own work and communicating decisions to teammates.

• A track record of mentoring more junior engineers via code review, pairing, and design review.

• Great written and verbal communication skills. You are comfortable partnering with PM, Design, Analytics, and QA. We work with people across time zones and diverse backgrounds, so you need to be able to communicate both effectively and inclusively.
