Why Clipboard Health Exists:

We exist to lift as many people up the socioeconomic ladder as possible. We dramatically improve lives by letting healthcare professionals turn extra time and ambition into career growth and financial opportunity. We achieve this with our app-based marketplace that connects healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals, allowing professionals to book on-demand shifts and facilities to access on-demand talent.

About Clipboard Health:

Clipboard Health is a fast-growing Series C marketplace. We are a leader in our Long Term Care vertical and are expanding into several others (Dental Offices, Schools, etc). We are a YC Top Company with a global, remote team of 600+ people. We have been profitable since 2022, and fill millions of shifts annually at partner workplaces across the US, where tens of thousands of professionals work with us every year. We are looking for your help to keep growing so we can serve more professionals and workplaces.

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 TypeScript.
  • 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.

Embrace a Remote-First Culture

  • 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.

What You Bring to the Table: A High-Ownership Mindset

Professional Software Development

  • Proficiency in building complex web or mobile apps, ideally with TypeScript, React, and Node/NestJS.
  • Experience developing, monitoring, and supporting services in production.

Deep Technical Expertise

  • Strong understanding of service-specific integration testing, E2E testing, and selective unit tests.
  • Familiarity with AWS (E
