Introduction
We’re a collective of SaaS teams building tools for the human services sector. While no single system fits every organization, we believe collaboration and experimentation across teams lead to better outcomes for the communities we serve. Our products are deeply committed to their users, and by working together under one roof, we accelerate learning, innovation, and impact.
Why Join Us
- Mission‑driven organization with a team that genuinely cares about making a difference.
- Collaborative, open culture where people support one another and take pride in their work.
- Strong work/life balance and a flexible, fully remote work environment.
The Role
You’ll lead a team of engineers building a care coordination and case management platform. You’ll guide a Ruby on Rails and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) team focused on delivering secure, scalable features, improving engineering velocity and quality, and collaborating closely with Product and Customer teams to support care managers and provider networks.
Responsibilities:
- Hands on software engineering around 75%, leadership 25%
- Lead roadmap execution, release quality, and service reliability for a Rails/GCP application.
- Manage hiring, onboarding, coaching, and career development.
- Shape technical direction with senior engineers, including API design, data modeling, and observability.
- Improve engineering practices: CI/CD, test automation, trunk‑based development, code reviews, and incident response.
- Partner with Product on discovery, prioritization, and milestone planning.
- Collaborate with Customer Support on operational readiness and post‑incident learning.
- Ensure privacy and data protection in healthcare contexts.
- Foster an inclusive, high‑performing engineering culture.
Required Skills:
- ~8+ years of professional software development experience, including ~2+ years of people management and ~3+ years of technical/project leadership.
- Production experience with Ruby on Rails (monolith or modular services), including performance tuning, background jobs, and API development.
- Public cloud experience. Ideally Google Cloud Platform (GCP) experience operating customer‑facing apps (e.g., GKE/Cloud Run, Cloud SQL/PostgreSQL, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, Cloud Monitoring/Logging) but open to AWS or Azure.
Bonus Points For:
- System design & architecture best practices including CI/CD and DevOps practices; observability (metrics, logs, traces); database fundamentals (PostgreSQL); caching/queueing (Redis/Sidekiq); infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform); as well as secure SDLC best practices.
- Agile delivery leadership and experience running scrums.
- Demonstrated success leading product engineering teams shipping iterative value in partnership with Product Management and Design.
