Role
Who you are
- Track record of execution. You have 5+ years of engineering experience, including several years of building and shipping features for world-class product experiences
- Expertise in Typescript. Static typing, interfaces, and generics don’t scare you
- Experience in modern JS Frameworks. You’ve worked on several codebases using a modern JS Framework (Express, Fastify, React, Vue, Svelt, etc)
- Technical Flexibility. You understand that technologies are about trade-offs, and you’re not dogmatic about your approach to choosing them
- Self-starter. You understand that small companies require working in ambiguous environments. You gather requirements, work with appropriate stakeholders, and can craft a plan to finish projects on your own
- Fantastic written and verbal communicator. You communicate complex and nuanced ideas clearly in Slack and over video calls. You’re empathetic and understand working in a remote environment requires great communication
- Attention to detail. The details matter to you
Desirable
- Startup experience. You’ve worked on small teams at small companies before
- Healthcare experience. You’re familiar with HIPAA, HL7, FHIR, EHRs, etc
What the job involves
- As a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer at Vanna Health, you’ll work on our cross-functional technology team
- The team is small but mighty, made up of a product manager, a product designer, engineering manager, and several other full-stack engineers
- We value autonomy and work-life balance and prioritize code quality, automated testing and the developer experience
- We balance these with our focus on output and shipping features. Your work will include both frontend and backend development and you’ll touch nearly all parts of the code at Vanna
- The technology team is responsible for the development of Vanna Connect, our internal product that our Care Team uses to improve the health and well-being of individuals with SMI
- Doing so will require a thoughtful balance of technology and human touch, and will require interactions with our clinical and care teams
- Our product, Vanna Connect, is written in Typescript. We use React, Vite, and Tailwind on the client and Node, Fastify, and Postgres on the server. Security and compliance are top-of-mind for us, and we use the FHIR standard for our patient data
Our take
There are 14 million Americans living with serious mental illness, the vast majority of whom never receive any kind of psychosocial rehabilitation. This is a silent human crisis, with sufferers having life expectancies decades shorter than the average and a greatly elevated risk of poverty, homelessness and incarceration.
Vanna Health exists to help support people suffering from serious mental illness by strengthening the community support structures around them. A for-profit company, it works by providing values to its partner insurers, agencies and hospitals, bundling clinical treatment plans and community offerings in a way that greatly reduces the cost of care while delivering outcomes that far outperform the rather dire status quo in US mental health care.
Vanna Health raised significant funding in late 2022, allowing it to officially launch its services in the United States. Since then, its been investing heavily in building new health care partnerships, expanding its clinical teams and developing its tech stack. In the longer term it could well develop into a significant part of the mental health care landscape in the US medical system.
