Senior Software Engineer - Full Stack (Remote)

About Path 

Path is a healthcare company powered by technology, dedicated to making mental health care work for everyone. Path takes a patient-first approach, where treatment is more accessible, personalized, and effective. With Path, it’s easy to find a high-quality therapist or psychiatric clinician who accepts insurance and is actively accepting new patients. 

We are deeply committed to providing high-quality care that improves the lives of patients, investing in the providers who deliver that care, and always operating in an ethical and compliant manner. 

What we’re solving

Over 65 million Americans have a treatable mental health issue — that’s 1 in 5 people. Today it’s difficult to find a provider, and for those with complicated conditions, it’s nearly impossible to find coordinated care. There’s a good chance someone close to you could have used the help, even if it wasn’t obvious to the people around them. We’re here to fix this.

Our Mission

Path's mission is to make mental healthcare work for everyone.

Role Overview

As a member of Path’s Engineering team, you’ll be able to focus on doing your best work and create a real impact with a team of like-minded people who waste minimal time on unnecessary overhead. While we’re looking for software engineers of all levels of seniority, we’re excited by candidates who enjoy and are capable of working on a small team with a fast-growing product. We’re looking for generalists who can work across the stack and those who gravitate towards frontend, backend, or infrastructure engineering. We recognize people are passionate about different areas and you'll have the option to be involved in as much (or as little) as you’d like. 

Today we build products for 2 primary customers; patients and therapists: 

On the patient side, we’re focused on a fast and delightful enrollment where patients can find a therapist that’s right for them and who takes their insurance in less than 10 minutes. 

On the therapist side, we’re building a full set of practice management software including patient recruiting, scheduling, patient notes, referrals, and more. Our therapists spend all day in Path and their experience needs to be fantastic. 

This is a really unique opportunity to help build on the foundational engineering infrastructure at a company where the business is already humming and we have thousands of users every day. If this sounds exciting and energizing, we’d love to talk!

Technical Stack

Path's systems are written in Typescript/Node.js or Ruby on Rails, with React frontends. We use Postgres for our databases and everything is hosted on AWS. We also make heavy use of existing tools like Salesforce, Airtable, Typeform, etc. This has enabled us to scale very quickly with a small team but we’re now ready to bring much of this work in-house. We’re standing up the technical foundation that will power the future of the company. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have experience with the specific technologies in our stack, we’d still love to connect with you! 

As an engineer at Path, you’ll have endless opportunities to help build, shape, and lay the tracks for future technical infrastructure, and provide input on product, design, and cultural decisions, if that interests you.

In this role, you will:

• We are a small team with minimal overhead and you’ll spend the vast majority of your day actually writing code. 

• Build, test, and deploy software in a continuous manner (we deploy throughout the week, if not every day)

• Work across the company to shape the future of the engineering organization. We are getting started and if there’s a topic you’re passionate about like recruiting, deployment, infrastructure, tools, etc., we’re excited for you to contribute. 

• Actively shape the product direction by participating in product reviews, design reviews, and customer research. 

• Create and contribute to technical specs and testing/rollout plans.

• Work with external and internal stakeholders to ensure we’re solving the right problems.

• Mentor and sponsor your teammates to help them grow.

Even if you don’t have experience with the specific technologies in our stack, we’d love to talk to you! An ideal candidate would be someone with the following traits:

• 4+ years of software engineering experience

• Experience developing containerized, 12-factor applications

• Experience developing applications which use an event-based model, queuing and/or publish/subscribe

• Experience developing SaaS applications using the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud platform

• Experience with Microservices development using either NodeJS and TypeScript, or GoLang, or Java

• Experience developing with distributed systems development, using an event-based paradigm, queuing or publish-subscribe

• Experience with Ruby and/or Python

• Experience developing applications using Postgresql or equivalent

• Empathy and collaboration skills; the systems we envision will require a great deal of healthy cross-team and cross-functional relationships in order to be realized

• Ability to lead technically with strong opinions, but a fundamental reliance on first-principles and willingness to adjust quickly to new information

• Ability to drive all phases of the development lifecycle: planning, specing, execution, and measuring success

• Ability to balance urgency and care, as well as make effective tradeoffs that balance business priorities, user experience, and technical foundation

Also Helpful:

• Experience with Apache Kafka

• Experience developing offerings (especially cloud-based offerings) in the healthcare sector

• Experience with FHIR

• Experience with SMART

• Experience with OAuth2/OpenID Connect
