Posted 14 days ago

Job description

Empassion is a Management Services Organization (MSO) focused on improving the quality of care and costs on an often neglected “Advanced illness/ end of life” patient population, representing 4 percent of the Medicare population but 25 percent of its costs. The impact is driven deeper by families who are left with minimal options and decreased time with their loved ones. Empassion enables increased access to tech-enabled proactive care while delivering superior outcomes for patients, their communities, the healthcare system, families, and society.

The Senior Full Stack Software Engineer will report directly to the Director of Technology, a seasoned technology leader with experience delivering high-quality software and managing engineering teams in high-growth environments. This role requires ownership of critical engineering initiatives and driving delivery through both individual contribution and technical leadership / mentorship.

You will work closely with a team of Full-Stack Engineers and collaborate with Data & Analytics and Clinical Operations teams to deliver impactful solutions.

Remote Work & Travel
Empassion is a remote-first, fully distributed company across the United States, with a strong emphasis on asynchronous communication. While day-to-day work is remote, this role requires travel 3–4 times per year for company-wide and engineering off-sites, focused on strategy alignment, team culture, and complex problem solving.
What success looks like
  • Own design, development, testing, and maintenance of high-impact full-stack features.
Become a system expert across our architecture:
  • Vue.js Frontend
  • Python Django / Django REST Framework (DRF) APIs
  • Google Cloud Platform (GCP) including GKE, Cloud SQL (PostgreSQL), Cloud Storage, and BigQuery
  • Advocate for pragmatic engineering and simple, robust architectures
  • Partner closely with Clinical Operations to understand workflows and translate complex business requirements into scalable technical solutions
What you will bring
  • 5+ years of software development experience, with strong Back-End focus
  • Healthcare industry experience (strongly preferred)
  • Deep expertise building scalable Back-End Web APIs
  • Expert-level Python proficiency
  • Hands-on experience with Django and/or Django REST Framework (DRF)
  • Solid DevOps fundamentals, including:
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
  • Docker & Kubernetes
  • Cloud infrastructure (GCP, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage)
  • Strong frontend fundamentals with experience in Vue.js or React
  • Advanced knowledge of relational databases, including:
  • PostgreSQL
  • Schema design
  • Indexing & query optimization
  • Experience designing complex state management systems, including state machines and rules engines
  • Self-starter mentality with a high sense of ownership and agency
  • Demonstrated accountability for production systems and code quality
The compensation range represents total earnings, including both base salary and target bonus. In addition to competitive base salary and bonus opportunities, we offer equity grants for qualifying roles, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, and a 401(k) retirement plan to support your long-term financial well-being.

Empassions' philosophy is to provide competitive compensation that aligns with our mission, business, and employee needs while remaining financially responsible and applying it fairly, equitably, consistently, and transparently. We are a tech-enabled remote healthcare company. We value the impact and significance of all team functions and roles equally, regardless of where you live. 
We plan to update our approach, data, and practices to ensure that we align with the market at year-end 2025. 

This strategy ensures that our employees are paid fairly in the market for their skills, experience, and performance. We use current data to draft compensation numbers and will update the data yearly. Performance is a highly valued and meaningful driver of employee compensation within Empassion's market position. Our performance-enhanced compensation philosophy rewards employees who consistently meet and exceed performance expectations through bonus incentives at all levels.

We pay through consistent and compliant practices.
We have team-oriented goals and recognize performance against those goals through compensation.
Everyone is an owner and is expected to add value and contribute; when Empassion wins, we all win.
We are designed to be fair and equitable and conduct a pay equity audit annually to ensure fair and equitable compensation level by level, job family by job family.
