Software Engineer [Product]

About Us

Our mission is to make healthcare reimbursement transparent and fair (/phare), so providers can spend more time caring for patients and less time haggling over costs. We specifically focus on the most complex AI challenges that require novel R&D, with a team that blends AI researchers and engineers with clinicians, and payment experts. Backed by top healthcare investors including General Catalyst, we’re scaling quickly - join us!

The Role

This is a senior Product Engineering role within a tight-knit, mission-driven team. You will own end-to-end features that translate our AI engine into delightful user experiences. You’ll work across the stack, leaning toward backend systems but touching the UI when it counts. Expect to:

• Shape the data layer - define schemas, indexes, and migrations in Postgres (with Prisma) so queries stay fast as data grows.
• Build dependable services - write Node/TypeScript APIs that serve both ML pipelines and React clients.
• Connect the front end - hook those APIs into clear, accessible React screens and refine our design system when needed.
• Bring AI features to users - publish model outputs with plain-language explanations and add monitoring to keep them trustworthy.
• Ensure security and compliance - meet HIPAA and SOC 2 requirements while keeping CI/CD and IaC workflows straightforward.
• Mentor teammates and guide technical direction as Phare grows.

Who We’re Looking For

• 4+ years building production web apps with a Node.js + TypeScript backend and React front end.
• Strong PostgreSQL skills-schema design, indexing, query tuning-and hands-on with Prisma (or similar ORM).
• Comfortable designing RESTful APIs and writing tests that run in CI/CD.
• Product mindset: you own performance, usability, and accessibility from idea to ship.

_Bonus points

_

• Serverless or edge deployments (AWS Lambda, Vercel, Netlify) and Terraform for IaC.
• Experience with design systems (MUI or similar) and modern a11y standards.
• Observability tooling (Sentry, Datadog, Prometheus) and auth flows.
• Background in healthcare, fintech, or other data-heavy, regulated domains.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation: Top-of-market salary ( $150-220k depending on seniority) plus equity.
• Flexible PTO: Generous vacation policy, bonus birthday day-off, work from anywhere up to 1-month each year for hybrid onsite employees, and remote-friendly culture.
• Team culture: Regular team-building events including twice-a-year off sites, a collaborative atmosphere, and mission-driven work.

Hiring Process

• Initial application.
• Intro call: Discuss your background, career goals, and our mission.
• 2 x Technical interviews: A programming or system design exercise focused on real-world data challenges.
• Referees: We ask for 2 referees who can speak to your professional/technical work
• Culture interview: Ways of working, and a chance to ask questions
