Founding Full Stack Engineer
San Francisco, CA$120k - $160k + equityFull-timePosted 5d ago
About the role
Durate is building self-running coordination systems for hospitals, starting with physician scheduling. The role is the first engineering hire, in-person in San Francisco, reporting directly to the founders, with customer-facing responsibilities and ownership of core production workflows.
Responsibilities
- Own a customer workflow that’s in real, repeated use in production today, and make it better.
- Design systems that cut down the errors administrators can run into, now and in the future
- Test, simplify, then simplify a couple more times. That goes for workflows we’ve built and ones we haven’t yet
- Turn the one-off requests customers make into simple, dynamic adjustments every hospital benefits from
- Work with founders and customers to turn ambiguous requests into measurable improvements to our system
- Talk to customers directly, watch how they actually work, push back on assumptions, prototype, and constantly look to improve after releasing a first version
Qualifications
- You’re extremely good at designing reliable, robust systems (we’re looking for great systems-thinkers)
- You have a strong design sense and can simplify complex processes into something that actually gets used in production and is understandable by anyone
- You’ve shipped software people depended on and owned it after launch
- You use AI coding tools and can explain, verify, and test what they produce
- Years don’t matter to us. What you’ve built and kept running does
- We love our customers and we hope you’re interested in healthcare too
- Early-stage or founding engineer experience is a plus
