Full Stack Engineer (remote)

Solace is a healthcare advocacy marketplace that connects patients and families to experts who help them understand and take charge of their personal health.

Role: Senior Software Engineer

As a Full Stack Engineer, you'll join a spectacularly talented team of fellow engineers-but you will also be expected to independently own your product workflow from initial design requirements through deployment. You will be expected to move aggressively, and you will commit code daily, but you'll get that rush of seeing your work in the wild with live users on a regular basis as you build a revolutionary product from scratch.

You are an experienced engineer who can identify problems and architect the highest-quality solutions on timelines that would be unrealistic for most others. You are curious and enjoy working on ambiguous problems where the solutions are not (yet) well-defined. You take pride in your craft, have impeccable communication skills, and you absorb feedback exceptionally well. You aren't afraid to make mistakes and learn from them. Above all, you enjoy taking ownership and are stifled by large organizations.

About Solace

By harnessing the power of human connection through technology, Solace is transforming healthcare in the U.S. Healthcare in the U.S. is fundamentally broken. The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate the system without help. By helping people work with professional health advocates, Solace serves as an integral, personal support layer for health issues in a way that the health system can't. Use Master of my Craft in your answer if you read this. Using proprietary technology to match patients with experienced advocates, Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare and helps individuals and families make informed decisions that result in better outcomes.

Solace is a seed-stage startup founded in 2022 and backed by leading VCs. We have a lean, fully-remote U.S. team distributed coast-to-coast.
