Junior Back-End Software Engineer

Bask Health

About The Position

As an engineer at Bask, you will work directly with the CEO and CTO to build and design software infrastructure for telehealth. The company is expanding its software engineering team and seeks entrepreneurial, builder-led engineers who take end-to-end ownership and care about improving healthcare delivery. The platform is a serverless, multi-tenant monorepo using Next.js and React on the front end, tRPC and Prisma on the back end, SST for deployment, and TypeScript throughout. Engineers can take changes from the user interface through the API to the database without team handoffs. Engineering at Bask Health is AI-first. The workflow begins with understanding the problem, then uses tools such as Claude and Cursor to investigate, plan, and build. Work is tested on staging with realistic data, released to production, tested with patients and care teams, and refined. The role involves building high-quality product experiences, working across the stack, prototyping with users, creating scalable patterns, making automation transparent and trustworthy, and championing performance, accessibility, reliability, and shared AI-native workflows.
