Company mission
To dramatically expand and untether access to healthcare by reimagining the patient experience—delivered at home and powered by technology for scale.
Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for a Senior Backend or Full-Stack Software Engineer (5+ years experience) who wants to build the core systems that power last-mile healthcare delivery
- Spent 8+ years building and scaling backend or full-stack systems in production
- Experience mentoring engineers and overseeing large scale projects
- Designed APIs, data models, and services that power real user-facing products
- Led projects or pods end to end — from architecture and planning to delivery and iteration
- Mentored junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance
- Shipped features independently and in collaboration with product, data, ops, or design partners
- Built in environments where speed, reliability, and ambiguity coexist — startups, high-growth teams, or 0→1 products
- Made technical decisions that balanced execution speed, scalability, and long-term maintainability
Desirable
- You’ve built or scaled products in health tech, logistics, or other operationally complex environments
- You understand supply/demand dynamics — forecasting, routing, scheduling, or inventory management
- You’ve scaled backend systems to support rapid growth, high-volume data, and evolving business needs
- You’ve worked in mid- or growth-stage startups (Series A–C) where speed and ambiguity were the norm
- You’re comfortable working with data platforms, pipelines, or large-scale data processing
- You know your way around regulated environments — HIPAA, security, and privacy best practices
What the job involves
- At Sprinter, you’ll work on products that blend logistics, patient experience, safety, and medical operations—building and scaling backend services, data flows, integrations, and in-product experiences that directly determine whether patients get care
- From routing clinicians and powering booking flows to integrating medical devices and preventing clinical errors, you’ll own complex, high-impact systems from 0→1
- If you want to solve real problems with code and ship product that changes access to care, this is that role
- Design and build backend services and APIs that power patient booking, clinician routing, logistics, and device integrations
- Ship full-stack product features end to end, from data modeling and business logic to UI and user flows (if full-stack)
- Solve complex operational challenges like scheduling, dispatch, safety checks, and error prevention at scale
- Integrate with external health systems, telemedicine platforms, and medical devices in a reliable, secure way
- Work closely with product, data, ops, and clinical teams to turn real-world problems into shipped software
- Own projects from 0→1, make architectural decisions, and help evolve our engineering practices as we scale
- Our Technology Stack:
- Serverless AWS (AppSync, DynamoDB, Lambda, Amplify, CloudFormation, Node)
- React Native, React Native for Web
- GraphQL
- Typescript
- Javascript
- Node.js
Application process
- We aim to complete the interview process between 2-3 weeks. It will usually consist of:
- Recruiter Screen (30-Minutes)
- Hiring Manager Introduction (30-Minutes)
- Technical Assessment (45-Minutes)
- Onsite Interview: Systems Design + Behavioral Interview + Lunch with the Team (3-hours)
- References
Our take
Sprinter Health offers on-demand health checks and lab draws by sending nurses and phlebotomists (employed by Sprinter itself) into the home. Amongst its services are blood draws and urine samples, mobile imaging and vitals checks, as well as assistance with telehealth consultations.
The rise in remote, digital health solutions is helping to bring greater access to care, but it’s also created a need for last-mile, in-person services. Indeed, while the last year or so has actually seen a marked drop in investment into digital health, home-based care providers are still going strongly.
There’s no doubt that the Covid-19 pandemic had a lot to do with this, but it appears that the demand for in-home services is here to stay. If anything, they’re something of a throwback to decades gone by when house-calls were a regular occurrence.
Despite only emerging from stealth in late 2021, Sprinter is very well funded, and has been quickly building up its headcount in California, with a long term focus on national expansion.
