Job Specifications
Seeking a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer to join Pippen AI, a fast-growing health tech startup with strong traction and a proven track record.
Why Work Here:
You will be joining a health tech startup that is already making a big impact. We are a certified AI Scribe vendor (approved by leading healthcare organizations). We are at the revenue stage and growing fast (over 18x growth in the last 6 months). The mission is critical: we believe it is wrong for doctors to spend a third of their time on paperwork. We are solving this problem to ensure that doctors focus their efforts entirely on direct patient care. By joining us, you will be making a direct impact on this mission and see the benefit in real-time. As a senior software engineer, you will shape the technical implementation of this bold vision.
Our Tech Stack
Frontend: Next.js, TypeScript
Backend: NestJS, Node.js, Docker
Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB
DevOps: Terraform, Azure
Integrations: Real-time communication protocols, AI-driven services
The Problem We’re Solving:
Family doctors are spending a third of their time on unpaid administrative work—typing notes, drafting referral letters, filling out forms, and figuring out billing codes. It’s leading to burnout, reduced access for patients, and a broken system. Our goal: eliminate the paperwork problem so that doctors focus entirely on direct patient care.
Why This Role Matters
We're expanding our team to accelerate the development of our intelligent systems platform. As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll work end-to-end across the stack - designing and implementing robust backend services, delivering polished frontend experiences, ensuring real-time responsiveness, and contributing to the evolution of our microservices architecture. You will directly contribute to our R&D efforts focused on solving real-world technical challenges that have not been solved yet.
What You’ll Do
Architect and develop scalable, production-grade services across the stack using TypeScript, NestJS, Node.js, and modern frontend frameworks.
Build and maintain high-quality, user-facing features that enable real-time workflows for clinicians.
Implement and manage real-time data processing with WebSockets.
Design and optimize database schemas and queries for both SQL (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) systems.
Collaborate closely with product, design, and clinical stakeholders to deliver intelligent, impactful features end-to-end.
Lead the development and maintenance of microservices, ensuring high availability and scalability.
Contribute to DevOps processes, including infrastructure as code with Terraform and deployments on Azure.
Mentor junior engineers and uphold best practices in code quality, system design, and engineering standards.
You Might Be a Fit If You
Have 5+ years of experience in software engineering, with experience building and owning full-stack applications in production environments.
Are proficient in TypeScript and have hands-on experience with Next.js and NestJS frameworks.
Possess a deep understanding of WebSockets and real-time communication protocols.
Have hands-on experience with both relational (PostgreSQL) and non-relational (MongoDB) databases.
Are well-versed in microservices architecture and have experience designing and maintaining distributed systems.
Take ownership of problems end-to-end, demonstrate strong problem-solving skills, and can work independently in a fast-moving environment.
Have experience with DevOps tools and practices, particularly Terraform and Azure.
Bonus Points If You
Have experience integrating or building products that leverage AI-driven services.
Are familiar with containerization technologies like Docker and orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
Have contributed to open-source projects or have a strong portfolio showcasing your work.
Perks & Compensation
Competitive salary and equity options.
Flexible working hours and a fully remote environment, with the option to work in-person from our Toronto office (if preferred).
Real opportunities for professional growth, technical leadership, and increased ownership as the company scales.
A collaborative, low-ego engineering culture that values thoughtful design, high standards, and continuous learning.
The chance to work closely with a small, motivated team building a product that has real-world impact in healthcare.
