Your Mission:
Innovate, Execute, and Deliver Impact
As a Software Engineer at Clipboard Health, you won’t just write code—you’ll craft solutions that reshape how healthcare professionals and facilities connect. You’ll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers to build features that matter. If you love diving deep into technical challenges and emerging with high-impact solutions, this is your opportunity to make a real difference.  Because we’re growing quickly, this is an evergreen role—we’re continually looking to add talented software engineers to our team.

What You’ll Do:

Own the Code, Shape the Future

Deliver High-Quality, Scalable Code

Write performant backend services using Node/NestJS and reliable frontend experiences with React and Type Script.

Leverage MongoDB, Postgres, and Redis to ensure data integrity and speed at scale.

Develop Reusable Components and Utilities

Contribute clean, modular code for our web and mobile applications (Ionic/React, Dart/Flutter).

Work closely with the DevX team to enhance tooling and libraries that bolster productivity across our global engineering org.

Own the Full Software Development Lifecycle

From problem definition and design through to development, testing, demoing, and supporting production code.

Deploy your own code using trunk-based development and short-lived feature branches with automated regression testing.

Collaborate with Product Managers and Customers

Understand the real-world problems faced by our facility clients, nurses, and internal users.

Occasionally engage directly with customers to gather feedback, confirm requirements, and ensure solutions truly solve their problems.

Communicate effectively in a globally distributed team—embrace asynchronous discussions, thorough documentation, and over-communication when needed.

Participate in daily overlap sessions or syncs, typically in the mornings (US PST), to stay aligned with your team.

Contribute to a Customer-Centric Approach

Whether fixing bugs, tackling tech debt (about 20% of our time), or brainstorming new features, always keep the user’s experience front and center.

Balance speedy fixes for pressing customer issues with longer-term structural improvements.

Participate in On-Call Rotations

Own the systems you build: if something breaks, you’re part of the solution.

Typically on-call for one week out of the month, ensuring our platform remains reliable around the clock.
