Job description
Overview
ecares health is a healthcare technology startup spun out of Essen Health Care, a large multispecialty provider group in the Bronx. We\'re building the care coordination OS that brings concierge medicine to underserved communities. Our platform powers proactive outreach, intelligent care programs, and automated scheduling, helping provider groups ensure no patient falls through the cracks. Through our relationship with Essen Health Care, we have access to clinical and operational experts who help drive our product strategy and refine our vision. Our platform is currently live with active users at Essen, and we are finalizing expansion to more practices across New York City in the coming months.
Why ecares: Healthcare is full of absurd complexity, and a clinical rule that sounds simple (for example, “high-risk diabetes patients should see endocrinology every 90 days”) touches eligibility logic, scheduling constraints, provider credentialing, and multiple integrations. We are committed to leveraging cutting-edge technology, including AI, to build the operational infrastructure that makes care coordination work.
Position Title
Senior Software Engineer
The role
We\'re hiring Software Engineers to join our founding engineering team. You\'ll take well-scoped technical work from our principal engineers and ship end-to-end features, integrations, bug fixes, and infrastructure improvements. You\'ll work across the full stack with full ownership over what you build.
What You’ll Own
The work here spans the full platform. Some examples of what you might be building in a given week:
Implementing clinical rules that determine which patients need outreach and for what (e.g., a diabetic patient who hasn\'t seen endocrinology in 6 months)
Building AI automations that interact with payor and Medicaid systems to understand and leverage insurance benefits on behalf of patients
Working on EHR integrations that pull patient data, push appointment updates, and keep systems in sync
Using LLMs to deliver critical patient context to care coordinators so they can educate and engage patients
Improving infrastructure API performance, data pipelines, deployment tooling, test coverage
Day to day, you\'ll pick up work from a prioritized queue, build it well, write tests, submit PRs, and ship. You\'ll work with principal engineers when the technical approach needs clarification and participate in code review across the team.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of professional software engineering experience
Comfortable working across the stack, backend and frontend
Strong fundamentals in data structures, system design basics, debugging, and writing testable code
Self-directed and comfortable with focused, independent work
Thorough. You think through edge cases, write tests, and care about getting it right
Excited to own features and work with the team to deliver them to our users
Our stack: Python (FastAPI), React/TypeScript, MSSQL, Redis, Azure (Container Apps, Static Web Apps, DevOps Pipelines), Terraform. The ability to learn and contribute is more important than matching our stack exactly.
Nice to have
Health tech or healthcare experience
Experience with EHR systems or healthcare data
Experience working in compliance-heavy or regulated environments
Familiarity with Azure cloud services
Background working with underserved communities or in mission-driven organizations
Location
Based in the Bronx, co-located with Essen Health Care. We sit next to the care coordinators, clinicians, and operators who use the platform every day and work in a community that we serve. Hybrid 3 days on-site, 2 days remote.
Why this role
You\'ll be a founding engineer building something from the ground up. You\'ll make decisions that shape the platform for years. You\'ll learn healthcare deeply, which is a career-making domain. You\'ll work alongside strong engineers on a small team with no bureaucracy, and where what you build goes directly into the hands of the people who deliver care.
Essen Health care is proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and we seek candidates who desire to work in and serve an ethnically diverse population.
