As an early engineer, you'll work across the full stack-from APIs and backend systems to user-facing applications used by patients, providers, pharmacists, and internal teams. You'll own features end-to-end, contribute to product direction, and help shape the technical foundation of the company.

This is a high-impact role for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, moving quickly, and building products that directly improve real-world experiences in healthcare.

Core Responsibilities

 * Design, build, and scale the systems that power Photon's platform, including APIs, services, and data models

 * Collaborate closely with Product and Ops to deeply understand user needs and translate them into thoughtful solutions
 * Make pragmatic technical decisions, balancing speed, scalability, and long-term maintainability
 * Improve engineering tooling, processes, and standards to increase team velocity and quality

 * Build across the full product surface with meaningful ownership and impact
 * Help define the technical and product direction of an early-stage company
 * Work closely with a small, high-performing team across engineering, product, and design
 * Work on a problem almost everyone you know has experienced, and help fix a system that's broken in ways most people just accept
 * Be pushed-these are hard problems, and we expect a lot-but the growth and impact that come with it are real
 * Join a team that gives a shit-about the work, about each other, and about doing things the right way. High trust, high standards, and we actually like spending time together
