About the Role

Hinge Health is a digital health company focused on delivering evidence-based solutions for musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. By combining personalized exercise therapy with virtual care, Hinge Health empowers individuals to manage and reduce chronic pain—improving quality of life and reducing healthcare costs. We partner with employers and health plans to provide these solutions at scale, helping organizations enhance employee health and productivity.

With the launch of HingeSelect, we’re taking the next big step : integrating digital and in-person care for improved outcomes and a better member experience.

We are looking for a Backend Software Engineer who is passionate about creating exceptional user experiences using Golang, gRPC based micro-services. As an early member of the HingeSelect team, you will help build and shape this new product from the ground up.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a high-impact product in its early stages. You’ll play a key role in defining the technical foundations and ensuring a seamless and delightful experience for users. The ideal candidate thrives in cross-functional collaboration, is comfortable with ambiguity, and cares deeply about product quality and user experience.

Backend engineers at Hinge Health contribute to their team’s success by architecting and implementing end-to-end solutions, well-tested performant APIs and data models. In addition, candidates will profile their systems to stay ahead of scaling bottlenecks, and help maintain a high bar with thoughtful and constructive code reviews.

We enjoy a continuous deployment DevOps culture, and take owner-operator pride in supporting our code in production. Our production systems rely on Golang, gRPC, AWS, Postgres, Redis, and temporal. Our workflow is trunk-based CI / CD, and our security / compliance posture is at the highest standards of healthcare, including HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2, and CCPA.
