Full-stack Software Engineer (Senior or Staff)

Blueberry's Mission :

Our mission is to turn every family's living room into a pediatric urgent care by combining at-home diagnostic kits with concierge-like access to pediatricians. With Blueberry, every family has affordable and immediate 24 / 7 access to the same (or better!) care they’d receive at an urgent care or ER. We believe every child deserves access to top-quality healthcare.

Blueberry Pediatrics is growing fast. We've proven that we can drive better health outcomes for children and families, and dramatically reduce medical costs for parents and companies.

Delivering affordable, high-quality healthcare requires engineering ingenuity, leadership committed to prioritizing patient outcomes over short-term profits, and an exceptional product team.

We are a mission and values driven company. You can learn more about our values HERE . 🫐 💙

Note : Beware of Scammers. Blueberry will NEVER ask you to download software / apps or request sensitive personal information like bank accounts or social security numbers. If you received an email requesting this information it is likely a scam. We are only accepting candidates through our job board.

About the job

We build technology that connects parents with pediatricians through two core platforms : our parent-facing experience and our physician platform. Both are written in Django and Hotwire (an HTMX-like framework). Experience in these technologies helps, but what’s more important is general full-stack knowledge, curiosity, and a strong work ethic.

Here are some projects we’ve shipped recently that illustrate what you might be working on :

Developing an eardrum detection model to reduce the time doctors spend triaging images.

Adding screeners that track developmental milestones for children. These help parents identify potential issues for early intervention.

Building an algorithm that flags at-risk children so doctors see them as soon as possible.

Adding WebRTC to our in-house EMR to improve call reliability.

Rewriting our React Native parent app in Hotwire to simplify our stack.

Engineers work closely with our product managers to bring features to life. (We have the luxury of working with a best-in-class product team!) We also collaborate with people in other functions, like the physician or marketing team. You can learn more about how we collaborate under the “Culture @ Blueberry” section here .

About you

We’re seeking product engineers who are strong full-stack generalists. From writing HTML to optimizing SQL queries and managing deployment infrastructure, you enjoy mastering every layer of the stack. You have lots of experience in MVC frameworks, like Django or Ruby on Rails.

You deeply understand the products you work on. You start with business objectives, then work backward to technical solutions. You use data to validate assumptions and measure impact. You're pragmatic and know when to optimize for speed versus scalability.

We reward impact over complexity. You seek simple, maintainable solutions. You embrace the chance to solve a problem with a non-technical alternative.

Engineers at Blueberry are given agency to own projects, from conception to production. You are energized by autonomy and have a track record of being a Manager of One . You implement high-quality software, have experience leading people and projects, and own the rollout and maintenance of your work. You proactively find and fix bugs, document systems, and evangelize fixing tech debt.

Next steps

Our interview process follows this structure :

A resume screen is followed by a materials phase (described below). Before you submit your materials, you’ll have the option to speak with someone from the People and Engineering team.

Qualified candidates will move on to a series of interviews with the Engineering and Product team.

An offer is made.

The start date for this role will be sometime in mid to late Q1.

Our interview process is unique in that we’ve replaced the typical coding take-home with a written materials phase. These materials include questions commonly asked in live interviews (“Describe a time when…”) along with an opportunity to submit samples of your best work. We’ve found that this allows candidates to showcase their best selves without the on-the-spot pressure of a live interview.
