Senior Software Engineer, Platform Engineering
Our client builds North America’s leading clinical decision support tool for mental healthcare providers. They are a mission-driven innovator rooted in research and building the tools to support the emergent clinical category they are creating. They currently serve >350 healthcare organizations and tens of thousands of clinicians delivering care in clinics, hospitals, campuses and workplaces. The company also serves regional health systems by providing population-level insights and bolsters continuity of care by making patient data on the platform portable to a variety of care providers and program admnistrators.
The company is ~8 years old and growing at a measured pace, in line with revenue, with minimal reliance on outside capital and no traditional venture investors.

The company is ~65 total team members and as a Senior Platform Engineer, you will join an R&D organization of ~35 team members (with ~10 in product and design, ~20 in software engineering and ~5 in adjacent functions like data analysis, solutions engineering and support engineering).

The opportunity became available to backfill the role of a platform team member who has been moved to the data and insights team.
