• Own full-stack experiences that feel fast and intuitive to users, aligning backend architecture and frontend execution to deliver measurable impact
• Develop and optimize data pipelines that synchronize product, pricing, and order data across systems

• Contribute to frontend development as needed to ensure cohesive end-to-end delivery
• Partner with engineering leadership to define architecture standards, shape technical direction, and mentor engineers on best practices

You’ll be a key driver of Torch’s next stage of growth—building scalable, intelligent systems that healthcare providers rely on every day, and ensuring we’re solving the right problems with measurable impact.
