Company mission
To improve the lives of people suffering from chronic conditions, starting with musculoskeletal conditions like back and joint pain.
Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent professional experience
- 8+ years of non-internship experience in software engineering, with a proven track record of building scalable backend systems and microservices
- Expert proficiency across the full stack (web, mobile, and backend), with deep experience in React.js, React Native, Golang (or similar backend technologies), and TypeScript to drive product decisions
- Proven track record of architecting and designing scalable APIs (REST or gRPC) and data models that support exponential growth
- Experience leading technical execution in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, working closely with cross-functional partners
- Passionate about our mission to help people overcome chronic pain and improve quality of life
Desirable
- Proficiency with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) and a passion for leveraging AI technologies to accelerate engineering velocity and design high-quality systems
- Experience designing and evolving systems in a rapid-growth, 0-to-1 environment where you navigated ambiguity and iterated quickly
- Deep familiarity with our core stack: React Native, React, Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, GraphQL, Docker, Golang, AWS, Postgres, Temporal, and gRPC
- Experience designing and evolving integration-heavy systems (e.g., with hospital systems, health plans, or other external partners)
- Experience in healthcare, insurance tech, or high-compliance industries (HIPAA, SOC 2)
What the job involves
- As a Staff Software Engineer on the Specialist Visits team, you will provide technical leadership for our 2026 plans to scale this product by multiple orders of magnitude
- You will drive the architectural vision for end-to-end feature development - designing the scalable Golang and TypeScript services that handle 100x growth, while ensuring our React Native experiences provide intuitive, high-quality clinical journeys for members
- Staff engineers contribute to their team’s success by building and extending secure, scalable services and exposing clear, well-tested APIs
- You will play a pivotal role in shaping our technical strategy, mentoring senior engineers, and establishing engineering standards in a fast-paced, 0-to-1 environment backed by the resources of a market leader
- Lead complex, cross-team initiatives that unlock new product capabilities, aligning technical execution across teams to deliver meaningful outcomes
- Define and evolve technical approaches for complex, ambiguous problem spaces, creating clarity where requirements are incomplete and guiding teams toward durable solutions
- Shape longer-term technical strategy in partnership with engineering and product leadership, balancing near-term delivery with scalability, quality, and future product needs
- Raise the technical bar across teams through mentorship, design guidance, and thoughtful feedback, enabling other engineers to operate more effectively and independently
- Influence system-level maintainability, reliability, and performance by identifying cross-cutting improvements and guiding architectural evolution over time
- Leverage AI thoughtfully to improve team effectiveness and engineering workflows, setting patterns and standards that scale beyond individual contributions
- Communicate clearly and persuasively about technical direction, risks, and trade-offs to engineers and leadership, creating shared understanding and alignment
- Exhibit strong user and business judgment at scale, ensuring technical decisions consistently reflect customer needs, product strategy, and long-term business impact
Our take
Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are prime concerns for individuals and employers. In fact, 1 in 2 Americans experience some form of back and joint pain. Hinge Health has created a platform that brings treatment providers and patients together in order to prevent, treat and rehabilitate a variety of MSK conditions.
MSK spending has nearly doubled from $10 billion to almost $20 billion over the last 10 years. Analysis by Hinge Health indicates that MSK is an employer's highest medical claim expense. Despite this, patient results have not improved, which has led to a reported 70% of employers looking to adopt a digital MSK solution.
This wealth of opportunity has led to Hinge Health providing digital MSK clinics for employees at 1000+ companies, including Salesforce, US Foods and Boeing. With a valuation of almost $4 billion, the company stands as one of the most valuable startups in digital health and secured an IPO in 2025, marking a new and exciting chapter for the healthtech platform.
