About Your Role

What you'll do

• Lead feature development end-to-end: Own the delivery of collaboration and sharing features—from technical design through to production—that enable clinical teams to work together more effectively

• Build the permissions layer clinicians depend on: Implement granular access controls, session sharing, and role- or relationship-based capabilities using our Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA) infrastructure

• Ship with pragmatism: Make smart trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality—delivering incremental value to customers while keeping the architecture clean

• Collaborate across product and engineering: Partner closely with PM, design, and other engineers to translate clinical workflows into technical solutions that actually get used

• Set the technical direction for your domain: Drive decisions on approach, tooling, and implementation patterns for the collaboration team

• Mentor and uplevel teammates: Share context, review code, and help less experienced engineers grow through pairing and feedback

What we will look for

• Strong full-stack or backend experience (Python & TypeScript preferred)

• Track record of leading feature delivery independently—scoping, building, and shipping

• Pragmatic engineering mindset: bias toward done over perfect, iterative over big-bang

• Experience building user-facing features involving permissions, sharing, or multi-user workflows

• Effective collaborator who communicates clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-moving priorities in a growth-stage environment

• Genuine interest in healthcare and improving how clinical teams deliver care

What do we believe in?

Heidi builds for the future of healthcare, not just the next quarter, and our goals are ambitious because the world’s health demands it. We believe in progress built through precision, pace, and ownership.

• Live Forever - Every release moves care forward: measured, safe, and built to last. Data guides us, but patients define the truth that matters.

• Practice Ownership - Decisions follow logic and proof, not hierarchy. Exceptional care demands exceptional standards in our work, our thinking, and our character.

• Small Cuts Heal Faster - Stability earns trust, speed delivers impact. Progress is about learning fast without breaking what people depend on.

• Make others better - Feedback is direct, kindness is constant, and excellence lifts everyone. Our success is measured by collective growth, not individual output.

Our mission is clear: expand the world’s capacity to care, and do it without losing the humanity that makes care worth delivering.
