Ready to build software that changes how healthcare gets managed?
Join Elm & Oak Health as a Software Engineer II and help build our commercial SaaS platform from the ground up — the compliance, audit, provider data, and utilization management tools that client organizations across the industry rely on every day.

If you want real ownership, a broad technical surface, and the chance to shape a product's foundation rather than just maintain one, this is that opportunity.

As one of the largest Care Management Agencies in our region, we've built an outstanding reputation for excellence — earned through quality care management grounded in compassion, empowerment, and teamwork.

POSITION SUMMARY
The Software Engineer II designs, builds, and supports the organization's commercial software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for healthcare compliance, audit, provider data, and utilization management. This is a hands-on product engineering role on a small, early-stage team: the incumbent contributes across the full development lifecycle (requirements definition, technical design, coding, testing, release, and production support) for a multi-tenant application delivered to external client organizations.
This is a broad role by design. The Software Engineer II works independently on complex features and moves between application code, database design, deployment, and client support as priorities change, while helping shape the engineering standards a growing product team will rely on. The platform is HIPAA-regulated and multi-tenant, so secure development and protection of client and member data are core accountabilities.
