- Create products for additional conditions and build hospital analytics with actionable, trustworthy visualizations
What you bring

Who this fits
This mid-level role suits an independent engineer who is comfortable shaping work with clinicians rather than waiting for a complete specification. The job is based in San Francisco, with the default schedule in person and roughly thirty-two hours a week in the office. Hospital launches can involve weeks exceeding sixty hours, so predictable nine-to-five hours may not suit you.

Full Stack Engineer
About the role
Build the product clinicians rely on every morning.
HealthLeap’s dashboard helps dietitians at Cedars-Sinai and Penn Medicine see which patients need attention, understand the relevant clinical data, and act quickly. You’ll build the interfaces clinicians use and the backend services behind them.
What you’ll do
Own product work from conversations with clinicians through production.
Make complex patient data clear enough for clinicians to find what they need in seconds.
Build new products as we expand into more conditions.
Build hospital analytics with visualizations people can trust and act on.
Ship to hospitals including Cedars-Sinai, Penn Medicine, and Houston Methodist.
What we’re looking for
5+ years building production web applications, with strong frontend and backend engineering beyond basic CRUD.
Strong React, API design, SQL, and relational schema design.
An eye for clear interfaces and the judgment to check what the underlying numbers mean.
Independent delivery: you talk to users, make scope decisions, verify your work, and own the outcome.
Something you’ve built that we can discuss. A public portfolio is welcome; a walkthrough of private work works too.
What will make you stand out
You’ve founded a startup or built products from idea to real users.
You make complex data intuitive through design, visualization, and clear copy.
You’ve worked in healthcare or clinical software.
This role is NOT for you if
You wait for a spec before you start. We figure out what matters with users.
You’ve only built CRUD apps or marketing sites.
Close-enough numbers are fine with you.
You need predictable 9-to-5 hours. We protect deep work and rest, but a hospital go-live can mean a 60+ hour week.
Interview process
No LeetCode or algorithm puzzles. Use the tools you’d use on the job, including AI.
