Senior Full Stack Engineer

Responsibilities

• Building features end-to-end: REST APIs, single page application work, and the underlying data model
• Designing on a cloud platform with containers and stateless services, working through architectural questions with the team
• Taking product requests, shaping them into work items, and building them; measured by first-time acceptance and minimal rework, not volume
• Reviewing a couple of teammate pull requests each week, and delivering code that follows the team’s existing patterns
• Relational database development: schema, queries, and associated performance considerations

Requirements

At least 5 years

• of professional software engineering experience in a modern language, building REST APIs and single page applications
• Working knowledge of cloud technology, including containers and stateless app development
• Relational database development experience with broad depth (not just expertise in one engine)

Preferred

• Trunk-based development experience
• Python, React, and Postgres
• Agentic or AI-assisted coding tools
• Experience in a high-compliance environment, healthcare or otherwise

What sets us apart is the

• Value Creation Team, focused on enabling growth through talent, systems, and strategy.
• At Council Capital, we’re not just backing companies—we’re helping build enduring businesses that improve lives and shape the future of healthcare.

THE ROLE

This is a senior individual contributor position. You will build services and interfaces on a cloud platform, work closely with product, and take work from request to shipped without needing fully specified requirements handed to you.

The team works on a trunk-based flow with short-lived branches and a daily rhythm. This shapes the job more than the stack does. Work is broken into one to two day pieces rather than multi-week builds; code review is constant and reciprocal, and progress is visible every day, even when nothing lands. If you prefer to disappear for three weeks and return with a large branch, this role will not suit you.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

Protecting patient data; zero PHI in development environments, with no exceptions or workarounds

What good looks like: you contribute most days, ship results two to three times a week, keep branches short-lived, and your work often reaches acceptance the first time. Complex tasks show daily progress, even on days without code commits.

WHO THRIVES HERE

• You are a quick study and have become useful in unfamiliar stacks within weeks, not months
• You seek the root cause before building, preferring to ask clarifying questions rather than deliver the wrong solution
• You decide autonomously and know when to check in or proceed, generating your own work items with sound judgment
• You are comfortable thinking in abstractions, viewing stateless, containerized design on an evolving platform as interesting
• You are unwavering on data ethics—nobody needs to remind you about proper production data handling
• You accept code review without defensiveness and act on feedback; review here is daily and reciprocal
• You adopt the team’s patterns and engage in design discussions early, rather than pushing back in pull requests
• You maintain a steady pace over years, preferring consistent output to bursts of heroics followed by burnout

WHAT YOU BRING

Experience in a version-controlled development environment
