Senior Software Engineer
AI Summary
Senior Software Engineer at NextPatient builds modern patient-facing features—online scheduling, check-in, reminders, payments—by integrating with legacy doctor systems.
About this role
We're looking for engineers to upgrade the patient experience.
The software you experience at the doctor's office is often dated and terrible, but our software can plug into the doctor's legacy system and provide a modern experience: online scheduling, paperless check-in, interactive reminders, automated waitlist, payments, and more.
Patients get a great experience and the practices have less busy-work.
We're just 40 people, but we're the top-rated solution in our space and used by thousands of offices across the country.
We do things differently than most: we're smaller (by choice), and self-funded. This allows us to stay focused on our practices instead of trying to impress VCs.
As an engineer joining the team, this means greater ownership.
About the role
We're looking for full-stacking engineers capable of making meaningful contributions to best-in-category features.
Since we’re a small team, we’ll strive to make you the go-to person for a slice of the product, and you’ll work with others on our team to gather feedback that drives continual improvement.
You’ll join the occasional client call to gather feedback on your features and hear about their challenges first-hand.
In this role, you’ll be supported by the co-founders, a product manager, a graphic designer, and other experienced engineers.
Health care experience is not needed. We'll teach you what you need to know about how a doctor's office works.
Our tech stack is Python and Postgres on Linux, with AI growing in importance.
Things we'll be looking for:
Track record of making significant contributions in past products
A start-up friendly temperament (comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change)
7-ish or more years of experience
Perks of working at NextPatient:
