Software Engineer

An early-stage startup building the operating system for psychotherapy practices is hiring a Founding Engineer.

Their software helps therapists and practice owners understand how their business is performing, see what needs attention, and spend far less time on admin. They have raised over $5M, the team is six people in New York, and they are hiring our third engineer to own a major product vertical: practice analytics and insights.

This is a founding engineer seat. You will work with the co-founders every day, own product areas outright, and shape both the product and the engineering culture from the ground up.

What You Will Do

• Own entire product verticals end to end: roadmap, architecture, execution and production operations
• Build AI-powered analytics and tooling that lets one practice operator support 40+ practices instead of 1-2
• Run parallel Claude Code and Codex agent sessions to ship at dramatically higher velocity
• Architect and deploy full-stack features in Python and React on AWS, with no dedicated DevOps support

• Make product decisions autonomously: spot the opportunity, form an opinion, ship it without waiting for a spec
• Build the EHR integrations and data layer that practice analytics runs on

What We Are Looking For

• 5-10+ years of full-stack engineering with real product ownership
• You have built and shipped a product end to end, zero to one, not just features inside a larger team
• Full-stack fluency across frontend and backend, built from scratch rather than maintained
• A sophisticated agentic AI workflow: Claude Code or Codex deeply integrated with parallel sessions and custom tooling, not casual copilot use
• Hands-on cloud infrastructure experience, AWS preferred, plus Docker
• High agency and an ownership mindset, and comfort with early-stage intensity

• Based in New York City or willing to relocate promptly. This role is five days a week in office

Nice to have

• Experience at a high-growth startup or a top-tier tech company
• You have built product-facing analytics features

Stack

Python, FastAPI, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, AWS (ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, EC2), Docker, Playwright, GitHub Actions, Claude Code, Codex.

Compensation

• $200K-$320K base salary depending on experience
• Meaningful equity, roughly 0.5%-1%
• Relocation support for candidates moving to New York
• Open to visa transfers such as OPT and H1B on a case-by-case basis

Interview process

• A 45-minute behavioral conversation with a co-founder, including a lightly technical discussion of system design
• A 2-4 hour system design and product building exercise: review a partially fleshed-out spec and codebase, identify the wrong decisions baked into it, talk through your approach, then build the solution. AI tools are allowed and encouraged
