SUMMARY
Artera’s Engineering team is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to help define, evolve, and scale the platform that powers next-generation patient communication—especially as we accelerate our work in AI powered functionalities, including building AI agents software and AI Powered functionalities, MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, and high-throughput distributed systems.
This role reports directly to the Senior Engineering Manager, and is responsible for driving technical excellence across teams, and leading execution on high-risk or high-impact initiatives critical to Artera’s long-term success. You will be architecting large-scale systems, mentoring engineers, and ensuring our platform remains resilient, performant, and ready for the next wave of AI-driven patient engagement.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Technical Leadership
- Serve as a domain expert in backend architecture, distributed systems, and high-throughput IO.
- Drive company-wide architectural patterns, platform strategy, and engineering standards.
- Lead execution on complex, open-ended projects spanning multiple quarters
- Own cross-team architectural buy-in and guide teams through refactors and modernization efforts.
Execution & Delivery
- Independently design and deliver large-scale features that impact multiple products or services.
- Systematically reason through system-wide implications, edge cases, and performance trade-offs
- Work collaboration and delivery on commercial platform + Government or Agentic Solutions + Application Platform
- Identify and eliminate sources of instability, latency, and operational risk.
- Build from scratch when needed—especially for distributed IO-intensive systems.
Mentorship & Culture
- Model engineering maturity through thoughtful code reviews, documentation, and technical communication.
- Mentor engineers across teams; elevate their understanding of architecture, debugging, reliability, and AI-era best practices.
- Foster a blameless culture that encourages learning, experimentation, and continuous improvement.
- Champion transparency, clear communication, and strong cross-functional collaboration.
Collaboration
- Partner closely with product, design, DevOps, Data and other engineering teams to translate complex technical ideas into practical, user-centered solutions. Strong Communication and technical interpretation is key**
- Provide architectural guidance on story-level decisions within your domain.
- Advocate for engineering-focused improvements in process, tooling, reliability, and developer experience.
Requirements - 7+ years of experience building and scaling cloud-native, event-sourced, and microservice architectures, with a deep focus on high-volume, asynchronous messaging systems.
- Advanced proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js (specifically NestJS) for building modular, type-safe, and high-performance backend services with a "backend-first" full stack mindset.
- Proven track record of integrating LLMs and agentic tools (like Claude Code) to automate workflows and enhance developer velocity.
- Expert in SQL (PostgreSQL) schema design and optimization, with hands-on experience in containerized environments (Docker) and AWS cloud infrastructure.
- Demonstrated ability to lead complex technical initiatives, mentor engineers, and influence cross-functional stakeholders by bridging the gap between technical decisions and product/customer impact.
- A strong commitment to testing, observability, and operational excellence within large-scale remote or hybrid team environments.
- Familiarity with Python
- Experience scaling agentic AI applications
- Collaboration/contributions with the open source community
- Experience working with Government contracts and delivery
The compensation for this role will be based on level of experience and the geographic tier in which you are located. This position also comes with equity and a variety of benefits.
Security Requirements
This engineering role contributes to a secure, federally compliant platform. Candidates must be eligible for a government background check and operate within strict code management, access, and documentation standards. Security-conscious development and participation in compliance practices are core to the role.
OUR APPROACH TO WORK LOCATION
Artera has hybrid office locations in Santa Barbara, CA, and Philadelphia (Wayne), PA, where team members typically come in three days a week. Specific frequency can vary depending on your team's needs, manager expectations and/or role responsibilities.
In addition to our U.S. office locations, we are intentionally building geographically concentrated teams in several key metropolitan areas, which we call our “Hiring Hubs.” We are currently hiring remote candidates located within the following hiring hubs:
- Boston Metro Area, MA
- Chicago Metro Area, IL
- Denver Metro Area, CO
- Kansas City Metro Area (KS/MO)
- Los Angeles Metro Area, CA
- San Francisco / Bay Area, CA
- Seattle Metro Area, WA
This hub-based model helps us cultivate strong local connections and team cohesion, even in a distributed environment.
To be eligible for employment at Artera, candidates must reside in one of our hybrid office cities or one of the designated hiring hubs. Specific roles may call out location preferences when relevant.
As our hubs grow, we may establish local offices to further enhance in-person connection and collaboration. While there are no current plans in place, should an office open in your area, we anticipate implementing a hybrid model. Any future attendance expectations would be developed thoughtfully, considering factors like typical commute times and access to public transit, to ensure they are fair and practical for the local team.
WORKING AT ARTERA
Company benefits - Full health benefits (medical, dental, and vision), flexible spending accounts, company paid life insurance, company paid short-term & long-term disability, company equity, voluntary benefits, 401(k) and more!
Career development - Manager development cohorts, employee development funds
Generous time off - Company holidays, Winter & Summer break, and flexible time off
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) - We believe that everyone should belong at their workplace. Our ERGs are available for identifying employees or allies to join.
