Senior Full Stack Engineer

Let’s face it, nobody cares about a common, puffed-up job description about how great we are. 

So, let’s make this about you. 

It’s about you being a builder…and currently not building anything impactful to you. 

It’s about you desiring something more challenging, but you’re too busy with ‘work’ to go find it. 

It’s about you caring enough about your career to read this post to the end before applying.

It’s about you not really aligning with your company’s values in a way that allows you to thrive personally and professionally. 

…And it’s about you tackling really hard challenges that lead to win-win outcomes for yourself, the company, and the customers you serve.

Problem Solved!

In this role, you'll be at the forefront of developing our new Non-emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) platform that will take our mission to eliminate mobility barriers to healthcare to the next level. You will use the latest cloud solutions and technology to craft scalable, efficient, and reliable full-stack applications.

Your work will directly impact our company's growth, enhance our customer experience, and set new standards in our industry. By leading development efforts and collaborating with cross-functional teams, you'll solve complex problems that have real-world implications, driving innovation and excellence in our products and services.

Improve at least one back-end component, suggest at least 2 optimizations, simplifications, or performance improvements to the platform. Mentor 2 less experienced coworkers, introduce best practices.
