• This is an opportunity to work with a modern tech stack including Next.js, Node.js/TypeScript, and AWS Lambda.
• You will contribute directly to product features that matter and operate in a collaborative, async-first environment.
• Key responsibilities include optimizing data loading and UI rendering for scale, building new customer-facing user interfaces with Next.js, integrating machine learning predictions into user views, connecting the platform to external REST APIs for real-time insights, capturing usage metrics and displaying them through Datadog dashboards, contributing to an agile delivery model, and owning your work end-to-end from planning to testing.

• A strong understanding of modern web development and data structures is necessary.

• Experience with SST (Serverless Stack) or other Infrastructure as Code frameworks is preferred.
• Knowledge of Datadog instrumentation is a plus.
• Previous work experience in healthtech or benefits platforms is also desirable.

Benefits:

• Your work will directly improve patient access to critical medication, making it a high-impact role.
• You will work with a modern tech stack, free from legacy baggage, utilizing the latest frameworks and cloud-native tools.
• The position offers autonomy and ownership, allowing you to define, build, and deliver features in a team that values independence and results.
• The role is remote, with strong overlap required in US time zones (PST/CST).
• The contract runs through February 2026, with the potential to extend.
• You can start ASAP, ideally within 2 weeks.
