Staff Software Engineer

Join Strive, a healthcare technology company focused on improving patient outcomes. As a Staff Software Engineer, you will lead the technical strategy and architecture of Strive's platform, design and deliver end-to-end solutions, and mentor engineers across multiple teams. You will have a significant impact on the systems you build and the overall engineering culture at Strive.

Definir y evolucionar la estrategia técnica y la arquitectura de la plataforma de Strive, asegurando que las decisiones de ingeniería se alineen con los objetivos clínicos y comerciales.

You pair broad knowledge of software engineering with deep expertise in one or more areas, and you use that breadth to weigh the organizational impact of technical choices

About Strive Health

Experience designing and building scalable, reliable, and maintainable cloud-based applications, services, and integrations

Responsibilities

• Diseñar y entregar soluciones de extremo a extremo para iniciativas complejas que abarcan múltiples equipos, desde la definición del problema y la arquitectura hasta la implementación y la operación en producción.
• Establecer patrones arquitectónicos reutilizables, implementaciones de referencia y estándares de ingeniería que ayuden a los equipos a construir de manera consistente y efectiva.
• You take ownership of outcomes, including the reliability and maintainability of software long after it ships
• You challenge assumptions constructively while staying open to different perspectives and new information
• You are outcome-driven and curious, using data, experimentation, and feedback loops, as well as thoughtful adoption of AI and other new capabilities, to keep improving the platform and how engineering works
• You are collaborative, low-ego, and motivated by the success of the broader team rather than ownership boundaries

Requirements

High school diploma or GED equivalent

• Ability to travel and be onsite to meet business needs
• 9+ years of combined related education, experience, or certification in software engineering or a closely related field, including substantial experience building and operating production software systems
• Internet connectivity with minimum speeds of 3.8 Mbps up / 3.0 Mbps down and latency under 60 ms
• You have strong technical judgment and know that the best solution isn’t always the most complex one, or when a long-term platform investment is worth it versus a simpler approach
• You approach privacy, security, and risk thoughtfully because the systems you build support patients and clinicians, and you handle sensitive information with integrity and discretion
• You are energized by ambiguous, high-impact problems and can turn loosely defined challenges into clear technical approaches, even where process and systems don’t yet exist
• You are an excellent systems thinker and communicator who explains decisions and the reasoning behind them, and proactively shares risks, tradeoffs, and progress
• You raise engineering standards through influence, collaboration, and example rather than authority, and you enjoy helping others grow their skills and autonomy
• You are a builder who enjoys designing systems, writing code, solving hard problems, and seeing your work run successfully in production
• You balance short-term needs with long-term architectural investments and keep a clear view of tradeoffs and sequencing over time
• Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• Experience with relational and non-relational data stores and systems processing significant volumes of operational or clinical data
• Exposure to kidney care, value-based care, or other complex clinical workflows
• Familiarity with healthcare interoperability, clinical data, electronic health records, or standards such as FHIR and HL7
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts and tradeoffs to technical and non-technical audiences
• Demonstrated ability to make sound, autonomous technical decisions that align with company and department goals when requirements are incomplete or solutions are ambiguous
• Experience troubleshooting complex production systems and participating in incident response and root cause analysis
• Understanding of privacy, security, and compliance requirements (e.g., HIPAA) and experience building them into application and system design
• Experience building software in healthcare, health technology, value-based care, or another highly regulated environment, including systems that handle PHI or other sensitive data
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, including system design, API design, data modeling, testing, debugging, and production operations
• Proven experience as a senior individual contributor (e.g., Senior or Staff Engineer) leading the technical design and delivery of complex initiatives spanning multiple systems, domains, or teams
• Experience with AI-assisted software development tools, and with evaluating new technologies through prototypes, reference implementations, and incremental adoption
• Strong experience designing and scaling distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and data pipelines on AWS or a similar cloud platform
• Experience influencing engineering strategy beyond a single team, such as setting technical direction or establishing architecture, testing, observability, and operational standards across teams
• Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and influence technical direction without formal management authority
• Experience with modern engineering practices such as CI/CD, infrastructure as code, automated testing, observability, and security by design
• Experience leading modernization efforts involving legacy systems, architecture evolution, or significant technical debt
