Software Engineer

This role sits on Team Action, which owns worker activation from the moment someone downloads the app through their first completed shift. Team Action tackles onboarding workflows, document and credential processing, compliance validation, and the infrastructure that powers safe, reliable activation of healthcare workers at scale.
You’ll work across the full stack on customer-facing flows and backend systems that parse, extract, and validate information from worker documents. The engineering stack is TypeScript-first: React on the web, Ionic for mobile, and a Node (NestJS) backend with MongoDB and Postgres.

What You’ll Do
Design and implement features in the onboarding workflow that take workers from sign-up to first shift.
Build and maintain systems that validate credentials, process documents, and enforce compliance logic across state-regulated requirements.
Implement document parsing/extraction pipelines and improve the accuracy and reliability of automated checks.
Work across frontend (React/Ionic mobile) and backend (Node/NestJS) to deliver end-to-end solutions.
Collaborate with product, design, and operations to ensure a smooth and empathetic user experience for healthcare workers.
Contribute to technical design discussions, write clear documentation, and own parts of the system from design through production.
Troubleshoot production issues, improve observability, and scale services as the user base grows.

Required Qualifications
Professional software engineering experience building customer-facing systems.
Strong TypeScript experience across frontend and/or backend codebases.
Experience with React and familiarity with mobile frameworks (Ionic or similar).
Backend experience with Node.js; familiarity with NestJS is a plus.
Experience working with databases such as MongoDB and Postgres.
Practical experience building or integrating document-processing or validation systems, or strong willingness to learn applied ML/NLP pipelines for extraction.
Strong product sense and customer empathy — you design features with the end user (e.g., clinicians) in mind.
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications
Prior experience building onboarding, identity verification, background-check, or credential-validation systems.
Experience designing compliance logic for regulated industries (healthcare licensing, state-specific requirements).
Familiarity with building asynchronous, reliable pipelines for document ingestion and validation.
Experience with testing strategy for both frontend and backend (unit, integration, and end-to-end).
Experience working in remote-first teams and asynchronous communication patterns.

Interview Process

Final culture screen with Head of People

The interview assessments are designed to mirror real work done by the team and emphasize practical competency. The process is written and async by design to reflect a remote culture.
