Founding Engineer

» About Untether Labs: Untether Labs is a workforce management platform meant for managing large health systems and digital mental health clinics. Our scheduling platform’s AI-powered scheduling tools ensure that doctors and nurses are scheduled in ways that empower them - optimizing the number of patients they see and their own personal satisfaction with their work. We’ve rolled out with a handful of large contracts already (totaling ~1000 providers scheduled using our tools), and we’re looking to expand our team in order to tackle our biggest contract and challenge yet - replacing an existing $22 billion dollar software company from scratch! » About our team: Our team is a group of five engineers, embodying a 'small but mighty' spirit! We are defined by our kindness, autonomy, bias for action, and supportive accountability. We're a team that's determined to win by supporting healthcare providers to give the best care possible. More about us here: https://untetherlabs.com/about WHAT YOU'LL DO » Responsibilities: We have an ambitious goal for the next 6-12 months (and the many years to come) - replace existing multi-billion dollar WFM software to enable better healthcare outcomes and margins for hospitals. It’s an ambitious goal, and we’ll need ambitious teammates to build out dozens of enterprise-grade features in the coming months. You’re a great fit for our team if: • You love to work directly with users (every engineer meets with our customers multiple times a week) • You crave autonomy and ownership (we all are building out entire feature-lines independently, although we love chatting and working together when we can) • You’re incredibly fast and tactical (there’s a lot to build so velocity is key - the best product teams ship fast and frequently) • You know how to build software that will last (our new product lines quickly go from 0 users → 1000’s of users in months, so being prepared to scale is critical) • You’ve done this before (we love former founders + early stage founding engineers! All great talent is welcome of course) WHO YOU ARE » Minimum requirements: • 5+ years in engineering across a wide range of products • Can build features end-to-end across the entire stack, from design to prototype to launch • Incredible attention to detail, especially around the business requirements of our users • Thrive in a collaborative environment involving different functions, stakeholders, and subject matter experts • Work great with a collaborative team, and help grow our culture and skills over time » Preferred qualifications: • Experience building applications using NextJs/Typescript (most of our stack uses this!) • Experience with building ML/Forecasting models quickly (predicting patient demand for providers is a frequent ask) • Deeply in tune with how to run and grow a business, and can cut through the noise to deliver outsized impact • Demonstrated experience in leading large initiatives across teams with many stakeholders (enterprise software is done best with tactical thinkers) • Strong, demonstrated communication & writing abilities, both in terms of documentation intended for end-users, and executive/strategic comms intended to manage stakeholder relations and large rollouts » Tools we use: • Languages - TypeScript, Python (Data Science) • Libraries - React, NextJs • Datastores - Postgres • Infrastructure - Vercel, Supabase • Design - Figma • Version control - Github • Internal Wiki - Notion
