About the Role
This is a customer-facing full-stack engineering role at an early-stage healthtech startup building operational software for healthcare staffing groups. You'll work directly with clinical and operational customers to translate their needs into shipped product — bridging the gap between the field and the codebase on a small, fast-moving team.
What You'll Do
-
Build front-end and back-end features using TypeScript, React, Node, Deno, and SQL.
-
Collaborate directly with customers to gather requirements and iterate on solutions quickly.
-
Deploy and operate services on AWS and troubleshoot production issues as they arise.
-
Travel frequently for on-site customer engagements and deployments.
-
Contribute to product design and rapid prototyping, moving ideas to shipped code with speed and reliability.
What We're Looking For
-
Hands-on experience with React for frontend development.
-
Backend development experience using Node.js and/or Deno.
-
Comfortable writing SQL queries and working with relational databases.
-
Experience deploying or operating services on AWS.
-
Strong customer-facing communication skills — ability to work directly with clinical or operational teams.
-
High emotional maturity and a collaborative, low-ego working style.
-
Ability to ship reliable software quickly; comfort in an ambiguous, early-stage environment.
-
Open to early-career candidates and recent graduates with strong building ability.
-
Must be eligible to work in the US without visa sponsorship.
-
Willing to be based in Miami, FL (relocation from anywhere in the US is welcome).
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary up to $80,000, with a total compensation target of $120,000–$150,000 including equity and covered travel, housing, food, and transportation costs. No visa sponsorship available.
Location
On-site in Miami, Florida. Relocation-friendly for candidates based anywhere in the US. Frequent travel required for customer engagements.
