About Malama Health
Malama Health is building the future of preventive care—starting with families at risk of diabetes. We partner with health plans and care teams to deliver technology that supports long-term behavior change, access to care, and better health outcomes.
We’re a small, fast-moving team that values ownership, clarity, and shipping real product. We believe modern software teams should embrace AI as a force multiplier, not avoid it.
The Role
As a Software Engineer at Malama Health, you’ll work across mobile, backend, and infrastructure to build products used by members, care teams, and partners. You’ll take ownership of meaningful product areas and collaborate closely with product, clinical, and operations teammates to turn ideas into production systems.
This role is well-suited for engineers who enjoy broad scope, moving quickly, and making pragmatic tradeoffs in a startup environment.

Work across our stack, including:
React Native for mobile experiences
Ruby on Rails for APIs, business logic, and data models
AWS for infrastructure, deployment, and scaling
Take features from concept to production, with a strong focus on reliability and usability
Collaborate with non-engineering partners to understand real-world needs and constraints
Embrace AI-first development workflows to move faster and improve code quality
Continuously improve the system through iteration, refactoring, and feedback from real users
Contribute to technical decisions that balance speed, maintainability, and impact
What We’re Looking For
Experience building production systems with Ruby on Rails
Experience developing mobile applications using React Native
Comfort working across the stack and owning end-to-end outcomes
An AI-forward mindset: you actively use AI tools to accelerate development and are excited about AI-native workflows
Familiarity with AWS and DevOps concepts
Strong product instincts and clear communication skills
Ability to thrive in a fast-moving, low-bureaucracy environment
Authorized to work and fully based in the United States
Nice to Have
Startup or early-stage company experience
Experience in healthcare, consumer products, or regulated environments
Background in building scalable, user-facing platforms
Interest in preventive care, health equity, or mission-driven work
Why Malama Health
Real ownership and autonomy
Work that directly impacts people’s health and lives
A culture that values shipping, learning, and iteration
