Senior Software Engineer, Product

About Us

Here at Ambience, we never set out to be just another scribe. We’re building the AI intelligence platform that restores humanity to healthcare and drives meaningful ROI for health systems across the country.

Our technology helps providers focus on delivering great care by removing the administrative burden that pulls them away from patients and away from their most impactful work. Ambience delivers real-time coding-aware documentation and clinical workflow support across ambulatory, emergency and inpatient settings at the top health systems in North America.

Our teams operate relentlessly with extreme ownership to build the best solutions for our health system partners. We value candor, positivity and deep thought — and we expect a lot from each other because we know the problems we’re solving truly matter.

Ambience was ranked #1 for Improving the Clinician Experience in the KLAS Research Emerging Solutions Top 20 Report, recognized by Fast Company as one of the Next Big Things in Tech, named one of the best AI companies in healthcare by Inc., and selected as a Linked In Top Startup in 2024 and 2025. We’re backed by Oak HC/FT, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), OpenAI Startup Fund, and Kleiner Perkins — and we’re just getting started.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Product team, you will design and build the features that healthcare providers interact with every single day as they care for patients. As an OpenAI portfolio company, you will be surrounded by the leading minds in AI and exposed to the latest advancements in our field.

In the first 6 months, you'll take ownership of meaningful product initiatives end-to-end — from shaping the experience with our product and design partners to shipping high-quality code that reaches clinicians in production. You'll be a key voice in how we build, ensuring we move fast without sacrificing the reliability and craftsmanship our users depend on.

Our Engineering roles are hybrid in our SF office 3x/wk.

• Design and architect major product features leveraging the latest advancements in AI to deliver a magical user experience
• Anticipate system bottlenecks and proactively re-architect key system components before they create issues for our customers
• Lead product initiatives with high strategic value, accelerating speed of iteration while preventing accumulation of technical debt
• Hold the codebase to a high standard, and assist in developing engineering processes that encourage shipping high quality code

• You have a Bachelors degree and 5+ years of experience, or equivalent
• You have 5+ years experience tackling challenging zero-to-one software engineering problems that have spanned multiple teams
• You have a strong product instinct — you think about the end user experience, not just the technical implementation
• You're comfortable moving across the stack to take projects to the finish line, with solid experience in modern web technologies and cloud infrastructure (e.g. AWS/GCP, Postgres, Docker)
• You have a demonstrated ability to own execution from inception through to successful outcomes
• You are a low-ego team player who prioritizes co-discovering the best ideas, even if they're not your own
• You value being a kind, encouraging, and supportive teammate
• You thrive in environments with high levels of complexity, uncertainty, and ambiguity

We offer a base compensation range of approximately $200,000–$265,000 per year, exclusive of equity. This intentionally broad range provides flexibility for candidates to tailor their cash and equity mix based on individual preferences. Our compensation philosophy prioritizes meaningful equity grants, enabling team members to share directly in the impact they help create.

Are you outside of the range? We encourage you to still apply: we take an individualized approach to ensure that compensation accounts for all of the life factors that matter for each candidate.
