## Description

This fast-growing healthcare-adjacent software company is hiring a full-time, fully remote Staff Software Engineer. It builds enterprise software and has become an established platform in its space. The stack is PHP, Laravel, Vue.js and MySQL, and equivalents like Ruby, Node.js, React or Postgres are welcome.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role with no management track attached. You'll set architecture and direction on major product areas and still write code every day. They want a senior engineer ready to lead complex initiatives, mentor other engineers and raise the bar on quality. Your work ships in your first quarter, you set your own pace around U.S. business hours, and there's room to architect green-field products.
