About Us

BridgeHealthAI partners with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and community organizations to ensure every patient gets the care and benefits they deserve—without drowning care teams in paperwork.

Our platform supercharges care coordination by automating high-friction tasks such as outreach, insurance verification, eligibility checks, follow-ups, and referrals. With modern AI cloud infrastructure, we turn hours of manual effort into seconds, helping teams close care gaps faster, protect revenue streams, and stay focused on patients.

Born out of Harvard and MIT and backed by Pear VC, Flare Capital, and Glen Tullman, BridgeHealthAI is a fast-growing, seed-stage company trusted by leading clinics. We are purpose-built for the safety net, helping clinics scale access, reduce burnout, and deliver equitable care for the 30M patients served by FQHCs each year.

Our Mission Is Simple

Eradicate health disparities by empowering the teams who care for underserved families.

The Role

We’re looking for a full-stack product engineer who thrives in an early-stage environment and loves turning ideas into intuitive, production-ready software. You’ll work closely with the founding engineering and product teams to design and ship features that blend modern full-stack development with applied AI — automating real workflows and simplifying complex decisions for care teams.

This role combines creativity, technical depth, and user empathy. You’ll own features end-to-end: architecting backend systems, building thoughtful interfaces, and iterating based on real user feedback. Every line of code you write will go live fast, impact healthcare delivery directly, and shape how thousands of people experience our platform.

It’s a rare opportunity to join a seed-stage company with paying customers and rapid growth, where you’ll collaborate closely with founders, influence architecture and product direction, and build AI-powered tools that make healthcare more human, accessible, and efficient.

What You'll Do

  • Collaborate with Product to define, prototype, and ship features from concept to production.
  • Translate user feedback and metrics into continuous product improvements.
  • Build and maintain full-stack features across our TypeScript/React frontend and Kotlin backend.
  • Design and implement AI integrations that reduce administrative complexity for healthcare providers.
  • Write comprehensive tests that ensure our healthcare solutions are reliable and robust.
  • Continuously refactor our codebase to keep code clear, reduce bugs, and increase velocity.
  • Take ownership of significant features and see them through from conception to deployment.
  • Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering to architect solutions that scale with our growing user base.
  • Learn and adapt quickly as we explore new technologies and approaches.

Our Tech Stack

Primary Stack

  • Frontend: TypeScript, React
  • Backend: Kotlin, Micronaut
  • Database: SQL, Postgres
  • Infrastructure: AWS (EKS), Terraform
  • CI/CD: Jenkins, GitHub Actions

Additional Technologies

  • Redis, OpenSearch
  • AI/ML: OpenAI, Anthropic APIs

Don't worry if you haven't used all of these - we believe great developers can learn new tools quickly, and we're happy to help you get up to speed.

Required

What We're Looking For

  • 3-6 years of software engineering experience as an individual contributor.
  • Full stack development experience with modern web technologies.
  • Experience writing tests that validate functionality. Some level of understanding of test driven development.
  • Demonstrated ability to learn new technologies and programming languages.
  • Experience working independently and taking ownership of features.
  • Strong communication skills. Especially the ability to collaborate clearly with non-engineering partners, including product and business stakeholders.
  • Problem-solving mindset with willingness to experiment and iterate quickly.

Strongly Preferred

  • Experience with Java/Kotlin, TypeScript/React, and SQL.
  • Previous work integrating AI/ML capabilities into products.
  • Experience with the full testing pyramid.
  • Background working at smaller companies or on small teams.
  • DevOps experience.
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure.

Nice To Have

  • Healthcare or regulated industry experience.
  • Experience with our specific tech stack (AWS, Terraform, etc.).
  • Background in diverse roles or products showing adaptability.

What We Value

  • Code Quality: You write clean, maintainable code and aren't afraid to refactor when needed.
  • Testing Mindset: Your tests focus on validating features and user outcomes. You test in a manner that promotes refactoring.
  • Independent Problem-Solving: You can work through challenges autonomously and aren't afraid to fail fast and iterate.
  • Learning Agility: You can quickly pick up new concepts and apply them effectively.
  • Higher-Level Thinking: You understand how your work fits into the broader context. You don’t lose sight of the product’s overall objective.

Why Join Us?

  • Build with Purpose: Your work will directly power clinics that serve millions of patients, creating technology that makes healthcare more human, accessible, and efficient.
  • Shape the Foundation: Join early enough to define core architecture, engineering culture, and product direction as we scale from prototype to platform.
  • Work with Real AI Impact: Apply AI to meaningful, high-stakes use cases in healthcare - automating complex workflows, enhancing care coordination, and improving outcomes for entire communities.
  • Learn Fast, Ship Fast: Collaborate closely with founders and senior engineers who value creativity, rapid iteration, and mentorship in a fast-paced, supportive environment.
  • Small Team, Big Ownership: Every feature you build will go live quickly and directly shape how thousands of users experience our product - your impact will be visible from day one.

Next Steps
