About Pear Suite

Pear Suite is an early-stage digital health company building software for community-based care. Our care navigation platform equips community health workers, doulas, care navigators, and the organizations that support them with tools to collect, visualize, and act on social determinants of health data. We help community-based organizations, health systems, and government-funded care programs deliver more coordinated, person-centered care.

We’re a mission-driven team committed to health equity and innovation in community-based care. You’ll thrive here if you’re eager to take initiative, value autonomy, and enjoy building structure where none exists. Join us to build scalable, human-centered technology that empowers frontline workers and improves lives across the U.S.

We're hiring an experienced full-stack engineer to help shape the architecture and technical direction of Pear Suite's platform. This posting spans two levels on our engineering ladder (Senior Software Engineer and Staff Software Engineer) because we're hiring for the scope of work below, not a fixed title. We'll assess your experience through the interview process and offer the level, title, and compensation that fit:
Senior or Staff.

Engineers at both levels do similar kinds of work, architecture, hands-on development, and technical direction. What changes is scope and independence. A Senior Software Engineer typically owns the design and architecture of a system with some oversight from engineering leadership. A Staff Software Engineer typically owns architecture for a major system or cross-cutting concern used across the whole engineering org, sets technical direction with minimal oversight, and leads complex multi-engineer initiatives end to end.

The requirements below are a spectrum and where you land within that spectrum will be determined during the interview process.

• Design and architect scalable, reusable software across the full stack: frontend (React/Type Script), backend (GraphQL), and cloud infrastructure (GCP).
• Lead technical initiatives from proposal through delivery, balancing hands-on development with strategic design.
• Set technical standards and raise the bar on quality, performance, and maintainability.
• Document technical decisions and designs clearly, for both engineering and non-technical stakeholders.
• Thoroughly test individual pieces of code and the system as a whole; champion software engineering best practices.
• Mentor other engineers, formally or informally.
• Partner with Product and Engineering leadership on technical priorities and trade-offs.

• Own architecture and technical direction for a major system or cross-cutting concern used across the entire engineering org (e.g., data platform, integrations, security).
• Lead complex, multi-engineer initiatives with minimal oversight.

The required list below is the floor for this posting. The more of the “typically Staff” list that matches your background, the more likely you'll be leveled as Staff rather than Senior.

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including full-stack development.
• Deep expertise in React, GraphQL, and Type Script.
• Proven experience designing and maintaining cloud architectures (GCP).
• Strong architecture and system-design judgment, with a track record of decisions that held up in production.
• Demonstrated ability to balance hands-on development with strategic design.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to convey technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including full-stack development.
