SW Engineer
The role
We're hiring for our core engineering team and are looking for senior product engineers to roll up their sleeves and build with us.
Given how small a team we are, you'll have tremendous impact on:
- Our company culture
- Our engineering norms
- The people we hire
- The products we deliver
We expect you to help shape our technical direction in addition to building an amazing product. We love things that compound, and create systems to facilitate this. We're well funded, so will be looking to you to drive a healthy balance between velocity and engineering excellence.
Some of the problems we'll be working on
<!-- notionvc: 541fe625-15f9-40f6-a627-928ac8fd640b -->We don't believe in strict job requirements, but if these problems sound fun and familiar, you're probably well suited for this gig:
- Building out infrastructure and product experiences for marketplace businesses
- Helping patients find, understand, and evaluate promising treatments for their medical conditions
- Helping patients navigate the healthcare payor-provider system as they assess different treatment options
- Making sense of unstructured medical data sources and translating it into plain-English using modern NLP tools
- Building products that plug into existing workflows for healthcare operations
The product
<!-- notionvc: 301def78-95df-4fb2-b0a4-02ea1e4f048a -->Power is the only consumer-grade platform for clinical trials.
- Comprehensive: we make it easy to search across every trial in North America so patients never feel like they have blind spots
- Simple: we apply a healthy amount of data engineering and empathy to the reams of unstructured medical data on clinical trials to simplify things for patients that are trying to evaluate potential trials
- Connected: we help patients proactively reach out to the researchers directly and researchers love connecting with motivated patients
The team
We're a team of experienced marketplace and healthtech builders with backing from some of the best across health tech and pharma.
<!-- notionvc: d15b8d0d-df68-49a6-91db-84988dec119a -->Our Stack
Most of the product you see when visiting www.withpower.com is driven by React using the NextJS framework, written in Typescript and deployed to AWS via FlightControl. Github helps us share changes with each other safely and securely, and Linear keeps us in sync. We also make use of various cloud service vendors including Google Cloud.
What do you like? What would you change? We believe in using the right tool to solve the right problem, and are open to change, but prefer boring technology when given a choice.
⚖️ Engineering Principles
We make decisions every day to improve our code, product, processes and working environments. There are always trade-offs, but we’ve observed these principles emerge on the team:
- Bias to ship
- Bugs happen, but shouldn’t fester
- Think twice, code once
- Only constant is change
- Marathon, not a sprint
