As a Software Engineer II, you will design and implement moderately complex, scalable solutions across our back-end systems, working independently on well-scoped projects.

You Will

• Provide constructive feedback in code reviews, with consistent attention to conventions, functionality, and test coverage


• Take ownership of technical debt by contributing fixes, proposing priorities, and balancing it against feature work


• Participate in product discovery to assess feasibility, explore user needs, and help validate ideas with prototypes and experiments


• Work with other engineers to ensure clean integration and communication across systems and services


• Implement basic observability (logging, monitoring, and alerting) for the systems you develop, and identify and resolve minor performance or reliability issues


• Break down medium-complexity projects into clear, actionable tasks and drive them from planning through delivery, seeking guidance when blocked


• Analyze performance metrics and user feedback to identify and act on opportunities for improvement


• Create and maintain technical documentation for the systems and processes you work on


• Share knowledge with peers, suggest improvements to workflows and tools, and propose ideas for continuous improvement within your squad


• Contribute to the hiring process by assisting with technical screens or interviews where appropriate, and help coach new hires or interns on fundamental technical skills

You Have

• Minimum 2+ years as a software engineer, shipping production code


• Experience contributing to back-end distributed systems and services


• Familiarity with microservice architectures


• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience


• Experience building scalable web applications and services, preferably in the cloud


• Working experience deploying and hosting front ends and microservices on Kubernetes and AWS


• Experience with agile software development and delivery.


• Experience with CI/CD processes, including automated unit and integration tests


• Experience with relational databases, PostgreSQL preferred


• Strong problem-solving skills and a growing ability to think critically about trade-offs in performance, cost, and complexity


• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively within a squad


• Ability to take ownership of your work, adapt to ambiguity, and make steady progress with minimal supervision

Preferred Qualifications

• Healthcare tech, wearables, or connected device data experience


• Proficiency in front-end technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript frameworks (React, React Native, NextJS, GraphQL)


• Experience with Node.js, Redis, or Kotlin


• Web performance optimization experience
