Founding Engineer

This is an early founding engineer position at a veterinary healthtech startup, working directly with the CTO to build a practice management platform from the ground up. You’ll have genuine ownership over the architecture and features that land in real veterinary practices - your decisions will shape the product from day one. What You’ll Do

• Build full-stack features across a TypeScript/Express backend, React frontend, and PostgreSQL database.
• Own entire feature areas end-to-end, from initial conception through production deployment.
• Translate user feedback directly into code and see your work used in live clinical environments.
• Make early architectural decisions that set the foundation for a scalable system.
• Integrate with practice management systems and third-party services.
• Balance product thinking with engineering execution - asking why before building.

• 2-6 years of professional software engineering experience building and shipping web applications.
• Strong proficiency across the full stack: TypeScript, Express, React, and PostgreSQL.
• Experience making architectural decisions for production systems, including API design and database design.
• A product-first mindset - you engage with user needs, not just technical specs.
• Genuine ownership and comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving startup environments.
• Background in B2B SaaS or vertical software; healthtech or clinical software experience is a plus.
• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field - or equivalent demonstrated competency through shipped work.
• Comfort using AI tools to sharpen your own development workflow and productivity.
