Job description
At Bluesight, our mission is to create groundbreaking solutions that increase efficiency, safety and visibility for health systems, hospital pharmacy, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. We empower our customers to deliver the right medicine to the right patient at the right time, every time. We are a high growth healthcare information technology company with a start-up 'vibe' but over 3,000 customers using our proven solutions.
KitCheck's hardware fleet spans multiple RFID reader models, each with device-specific firmware written in different languages and frameworks. We're looking for an engineer to take ownership of maintaining, upgrading, troubleshooting, and supporting that firmware in the field.
You’ll be a full member of our 10-person KitCheck engineering team, working especially closely with our three-person hardware and RFID software team — a tight-knit group where firmware sits at the center.
This role is roughly 75% software, 25% hardware. This is a hybrid role based in Austin, TX.
You can expect to
You’ll spend the most hands‑on time in Python and Go — the two languages our stack leans on most heavily — though prior experience in either isn’t required
Own firmware across our full fleet of RFID reader models — maintenance, upgrades, and troubleshooting — with each device line running its own language and framework
Produce and maintain the support documentation and materials our Support team needs to handle day‑to‑day, live‑device support in the field
Take ownership of the codebase: create, review, and contribute to pull requests across a wide variety of languages and frameworks
Contribute to and grow expertise in our RFID device‑control platform, including performance‑sensitive scanning code
What We Are Looking For
Comfortable working in unfamiliar programming languages and ramping into new stacks quickly — you’ll be supporting firmware across several from day one
Able to make progress toward a goal even when the path forward is abstract or not fully defined
Genuinely interested in close, ongoing collaboration with product and domain experts — this is a highly collaborative role, not a solo one
Strong communication habits: proactive updates, regular check‑ins, and comfortable flagging blockers early rather than going quiet
Early‑career engineers with strong fundamentals who are excited by broad language and hardware exposure will thrive here
Nice to have
Experience building or supporting on‑premise / on‑device software
Exposure to IoT device build/dev as a hobbyist or tinkerer
Networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, common protocols)
General Linux systems knowledge
Familiarity with how web applications communicate (REST APIs, client‑server request/response patterns)
Familiarity with our day‑to‑day toolset: macOS working environment, Linux development, Git/GitHub, Jira, Slack, and Docker containers
Our environment
Our codebase spans several languages depending on the device line, including Python, JavaScript, Java, Go, TypeScript, and Ruby.
What you’ll get from us
Opportunities to solve problems of scale, debt and security to redefine what’s possible in medication intelligence
Room to be creative and choose your own path
Trust in your sense of ownership
Dedicated budget for training and career development
Coworkers who you’ll learn from, who will push you and who are looking to learn from you
This position is open to applicants in the continental United States.
