Staff Software Engineer, Patient Experience
About The Position
Your north star: You'll serve as the technical lead for how patients interact with Pomelo from the moment they enroll through their entire care journey. We can only meaningfully improve health outcomes if patients are highly engaged in their care and trust our team. The earlier we can start providing care, the more likely we can affect outcomes. That all starts with the patient experience: building features that check in with patients throughout their journey, provide them the best next step for their care, triage their urgent needs, make it simple to get high quality care, and help them feel supported. This role sits at the center of that mission. This role reports to a Senior Staff Engineering Manager and is open to any candidates located in the continental US.

- You're comfortable working across the full stack and moving quickly in a startup environment
