[Hiring] Senior Full Stack Engineer @Credo Health

Role Description

We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join us as an early engineering contributor on our Platform team, building core features that use AI to improve health outcomes for patients. You'll report to our Head of Engineering, work on a team of 5–7, and often get to collaborate with our machine learning team. You'll work across the entire stack — building features from database to UI, shaping our architecture, and shipping real things to real users every week. This is a high-ownership role with a lot of surface area; you'll have direct influence over what we build and how.

Because we're early, you'll wear many hats and your priorities will shift as we grow. We value engineers who prioritize building features that customers love. We talk to our users often and iterate on features to ensure we're building the right things, balancing technical excellence with getting experiments out the door.

What you'll do

• Build features end to end, from Postgres schema and Django backend through to Vue front end
• Design and implement durable, reliable workflows using Temporal
• Build and integrate AI-powered features that surface patient insights for clinicians
• Help shape our architecture, technical direction, and engineering practices as we scale
• Deploy and operate services on Google Cloud
• Collaborate closely with founders and teammates to turn product ideas into shipped software
• Build with security, privacy, and HIPAA compliance in mind as you work with sensitive patient data
• Take ownership of features and problems, not just tickets

Our stack

• Backend: Python, Django
• Database: Postgres
• Frontend: Vue
• Workflow orchestration: Temporal
• AI: We use different models as appropriate — most often Gemini, Opus, and GPT
• Infrastructure: Google Cloud

How we work

• Strong code review and pairing.
• Strong testing culture.
• Async-first, low-meeting culture.
• Security and compliance are core.
• AI-assisted engineering.

Qualifications

• Strong experience (7+ years) building full stack web applications
• Solid Python and a backend framework (Django ideal; comparable experience fine)
• Experience with Temporal or other workflow orchestration tools
• Comfort with relational databases (Postgres ideal)
• Experience with a modern JS framework (Vue ideal; React/others fine)
• Ability to own work end to end and thrive with ambiguity
• Strong testing experience and practices
• Able and willing to work standard US business hours (roughly 9:00am–5:00pm ET, Monday–Friday), wherever you're located
• Reliable high-speed internet and a professional remote working setup

Nice-to-haves

• Google Cloud (or other cloud) experience
• Prior early-stage startup experience
• Experience in healthcare/health-tech, or working with healthcare APIs and data standards (e.g. FHIR, HL7)
• Experience building AI-powered features (e.g. LLMs, ML models, or AI APIs)
• Experience with or enthusiasm for AI-assisted engineering

Engagement & compensation

• Engagement type: Full-time contract (independent contractor).
• Contract rate: $40–$60 per hour, depending on experience and location.
• Time off: Flexible time off — we care about output and sustainable pace, not hours logged.
• AI tooling: AI tooling of your choice; team members use Claude, Cursor, CodeRabbit, and Copilot.
• Work setup: Fully remote, work from anywhere, with US Eastern Time core hours.

Our application process

We include a short take-home exercise in our process — a realistic problem that lets you show how you actually work, which tells us more than a résumé does. It's optional, but completing it up front moves your application to the top of our review queue. We respect your time: it's capped at ~3 hours, uses synthetic data only, and we'll never ask for work that looks like our actual roadmap. You're welcome to use AI tooling, same as we do.
