Job Summary
Own end-to-end development of AI-powered software that modernizes billing and operations for Emergency Medical Services agencies, handling architecture, code, deployment, and on-call responsibility. Build and ship customer-facing features by iterating quickly with direct feedback from billers, fire chiefs, and EMS leaders to reduce manual work and deliver financial savings. Make product and design tradeoffs with a strong UX sensibility while collaborating closely with the founding team in person two to three days per week in San Francisco.
Required Qualifications
- 1–3 years of full-stack product development experience, delivering end-to-end features independently.
- Proficiency in React with strong product and UX sensibilities — you know what "good" looks like on the frontend.
- Experience translating customer needs into well-scoped, well-executed technical deliverables.
- Hands-on experience building and shipping features that interact with APIs.
- Familiarity with LLMs and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures — this is a dealbreaker requirement.
- Strong CS fundamentals, high attention to detail, and a fast learner with clear communication skills.
- Collaborate closely with the founding team in person 2–3 days per week in San Francisco.
Desired Qualifications
- Backend and infrastructure experience with Go, PostgreSQL, and Google Cloud.
- Background in EMS, 911 dispatch, healthcare, or insurance billing.
- NREMT certification — a meaningful differentiator.
- Prior experience as a founder or founding engineer at an early-stage startup.
