Staff Software Engineer, GI
$197,000–$296,000 year
HybridSan Francisco, California, United States
Job Summary
Define the GI product line from scratch and lead technical roadmap development spanning AI systems, UX interfaces, and hardware integration. Build strong partnerships with Product, Design, and Marketing to align on strategy and success metrics, while developing prototypes and proof-of-concepts for the hardest product challenges. Mentor engineers on the pod through pairing and code reviews to establish engineering best practices for CI/CD, automated testing, and client performance across the entire stack. Personally develop the most challenging software elements in the roadmap and drive cross-team initiatives to improve the end-to-end user journey. Launch the minimum lovable product delivering measurable health improvement, then iterate based on real member feedback. Contribute daily to production code and raise the quality bar without moving into people management.
Required Qualifications
- A minimum of 4+ years of practical software engineering experience, including building and shipping user-facing applications in production
- A minimum Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or foreign equivalent)
- 2+ years of hands-on React Native experience building mobile applications at scale
- This role is a hybrid position based in our San Francisco office
- This is a hybrid role based in the San Francisco office, requiring in-person attendance three days per week for a full 8-hour business day
- 0->1 Builder: We are looking for an engineer with a track record of building brand new products from scratch
- AI-Driven development: You have been using the latest AI software development techniques (ex: teams of AI Agents) and continuously look for new AI techniques that can improve your productivity
- Hands-on engineer: You're reading and writing code across the tech stack (e.g., React Native, BFF/full-stack web, GraphQL, AI Agents, Computer Vision, Medical Device Integration, etc), and you use that fluency to coach, review, and set technical direction
- Experiment-driven operator: You think in terms of hypotheses, sample sizes, and decision rules, and you can run a dense A/B experimentation roadmap without sacrificing quality
- Team mentor and collaborator: You enjoy leveling up a strong but more junior team through pairing, code reviews, design discussions, and clear written communication
- Owner mindset: You think in terms of systems and business impact, not just tickets—you're comfortable taking a problem from idea through launch, measurement, and iteration
- Inclusive team builder: You create clear expectations, give direct feedback, and foster a culture where engineers can do the best work of their careers
Desired Qualifications
- Technologies: Experience building in large React Native codebases, TypeScript/Node.js & Go backends, GraphQL, AWS services (e.g., Lambda, SQS, SNS, SageMaker), tooling for client performance, render optimization, devops and app architecture patterns
- Product Integration mindset: History operating a product surface that integrates across multiple platforms owned by different teams
- Track record of running experiments (e.g., A/B tests or multivariate tests) on core product surfaces and using results to drive roadmap decisions
- Strong proficiency with TypeScript/JavaScript, React Native, and modern mobile development tooling; familiarity with backend services (e.g., Node/TypeScript, GraphQL, or similar) is a plus
- Demonstrated ability to mentor and grow other engineers through code reviews, design collaboration, and technical guidance
- Comfort collaborating with product, design, and data/analytics partners to define metrics, interpret results, and refine experiences
- Experience developing consumer-facing apps used by millions/billions of users
- Regulated environments: Experience working within healthcare (HIPAA) or other highly regulated domains involving sensitive member data
