Mochi Health

<div><div>Healthcare is broken at the first step: patients can't find the right care, understand what it costs, or access the medications they need. Mochi Health is fixing this.

We're building an AI-driven marketplace that makes healthcare discoverable&mdash;connecting patients to the right providers, transparent pharmacy pricing, and affordable medications. Over the past few years, we've grown rapidly by combining clinical expertise with technology that actually works for real people, not just hospital systems.

Our platform does what legacy healthcare can't: it gives patients transparent pricing before they pay, personalized medication management that follows them across providers, and long-term access to their own medical records. We're proving that healthcare can be more affordable, more human, and far more intuitive than what exists today.

Join a team that's rebuilding healthcare from the patient up. At Mochi Health, you'll work alongside people who value bold thinking, inclusive collaboration, and getting meaningful work into the world. If you want to do the most impactful work of your career, this is where to do it.</div>
$230,000 - $280,000 (Open to Staff leveling at $280-330K) 
Full-time / Onsite (5 days/week) 
<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
About The Role</h2>

At Mochi, our engineering team operates with exceptional leverage. We believe in high talent density, where a focused, elite team powers a profitable, nine-figure ARR healthcare platform serving hundreds of thousands of patients. We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to own the core systems that power this scale&mdash;from clinical approval workflows and multi-pharmacy fulfillment routing, to complex subscription billing and partner integrations. 
Mochi has already helped patients lose over 5 million pounds through metabolic care, and we are now rapidly expanding into the frontiers of preventative healthcare&mdash;including hormone optimization (HRT/TRT), longevity medicine, and cutting-edge peptide therapies. The backend systems you architect will power how this next wave of patients discovers treatments, qualifies for care, and receives highly personalized, dynamic dosing protocols. 
Because of our high scale-to-team ratio, we do not operate in isolated technical silos. You will own your systems end-to-end: designing the schema, writing the business logic, deploying to Kubernetes, and owning the observability in production. If you are drawn to architectural problems where the domain complexity is real, the autonomy is absolute, and the impact on patient outcomes is tangible, this is the role.
<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
What You'll Do</h2>
<ul><li>Architect Healthcare Commerce: Build and evolve a subscription and billing infrastructure that handles the messy reality of healthcare. You will solve for mid-cycle medication switches, dynamic pricing across different pharmacy partners, payment recovery, and prorated billing.</li>
<li>Build Clinical State Machines: Own the systems that power complex medication ordering and fulfillment. You will build highly reliable pipelines that handle compounding pharmacy integrations, controlled substance compliance, and personalized dosing protocols across a distributed network of external partners.</li>
<li>Own the Infrastructure: Take hands-on ownership of the AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure that runs your services. You will establish CI/CD pipelines, build observability, and create deployment patterns that make it safe for the entire team to ship rapidly.</li>
<li>Act as a Product Partner: Work directly with Clinical, Operations, and Product teams to shape what we build. You will evaluate proposed workflows, take ownership of business outcomes, and actively identify paths to deliver maximum patient value with highly efficient implementation.</li>
<li>Build Agentic Workflows: Mochi is an AI-first engineering org. You will not only utilize frontier agentic models to accelerate your own development, but you will also design the backend architecture that allows AI-assisted agents to automate clinical operations, improve patient safety, and scale our provider workflows.</li>
<li>Raise the Engineering Bar: Own key architectural decisions, systematically upgrade legacy systems, and elevate the engineers around you through rigorous code review, testing practices, and technical standards.</li>
</ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">Who You Are</h2>
<ul><li>You have operated high-stakes systems. You have 5-7+ years of backend engineering experience. You've built and operated production systems that handle real complexity&mdash;not just high traffic, but complex domain logic, distributed stateful workflows, and deep integrations with external partners.</li>
<li>You get data modeling right. You think carefully about schema design, state transitions, and domain boundaries, because you've seen what happens downstream when the foundational model is wrong.</li>
<li>You are an infrastructure owner. You are comfortable with (or eager to master) Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, and CI/CD, and you view deploying your own code and owning your system's reliability as a fundamental part of backend engineering.</li>
<li>Your workflows are altered by AI. You are already using frontier agentic tools (e.g., Codex 5.3, Claude Opus 4.6) to build faster. You can describe specific ways these models have structurally changed how you code, while retaining the deep technical skepticism required to audit, verify, and own its output.</li>
<li>You are a collaborative builder. You have low ego, high standards, and excellent communication skills. You thrive in cross-functional environments where engineering requirements are heavily shaped by healthcare regulations, compliance, and patient safety.</li>
<li>You are excited to work in-person. You want to build alongside the team 5 days a week in our San Francisco office.</li>
<li>If you are targeting Staff leveling: We expect a demonstrated track record of setting technical direction across teams, navigating deep ambiguity, and measurably leveling up the engineers around you.</li>
</ul>
Our stack is TypeScript, Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kubernetes, Terraform and AWS. Experience with these is a strong plus, but we index on engineering fundamentals, distributed systems experience, and domain reasoning over language-specific syntax. 

<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">

Sr. Backend Engineer

Pylon

<div>About Pylon
America&rsquo;s $13T mortgage market is one of the most important financial systems in the world. It underwrites the middle class and is the mechanism through which millions of families build wealth. But while every other financial instrument has been simplified to an API call, mortgages are still assembled by hand.
We started from zero and created the first vertically integrated mortgage platform that turns origination into a single API.
Publicly traded companies and the country&rsquo;s largest originators are already building on Pylon. Revenue is compounding monthly. We&rsquo;re backed by Peter Thiel, Conversion Capital, QED, Citi, Fifth Wall, and the founders of Ramp, Blend, and Mercury.
Working at Pylon isn&rsquo;t for those seeking comfort. The people who thrive here have high agency, strong opinions, and a track record of delivering outcomes without direction. Many of us are former founders. We move quickly, challenge each other directly, and take full ownership of results. It&rsquo;s hard work, but it will be worth it.

The Team</h2>
We're looking for Back End Engineers to join our API team. We treat our GraphQL API as a product &mdash; because it is one. Multiple customers build directly on top of it, and the quality of their experience is determined by how well we design, document, and maintain it.
Mortgage is a surprisingly rich domain to model. It's path-dependent: the choices you make early in a loan constrain what's possible later. It's nonlinear: different borrower situations branch into wildly different flows. Most APIs in this space paper over that complexity. We're building one that embraces it &mdash; encoding the real shape of mortgage into a surface that's impossible to misuse and delightful to build against.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Here Is What You'll Do</h2><ul><li>
Define what a mortgage is in code. Seriously. You'll work on semantic models that don't just represent mortgages as they exist today &mdash; they expand what a mortgage can be. This is product design at the API layer.</li><li>
Build toward an event-driven API. We're moving to a world where our API doesn't just respond to requests &mdash; it tells you what happened, why, and what you can do next. You'll help design and ship that future.</li><li>
Make the complex feel simple. Our API should make the mortgage process impossible to get wrong. That means thoughtful abstractions, clear documentation, and an obsessive focus on developer experience.</li><li>
Design for nonlinearity. Mortgage flows aren't linear wizards. Our future API encodes choice, branching, and path-dependence natively. You'll work on guided experiences that model real-world complexity without exposing it as chaos.</li><li>
Treat this as a product surface. You'll think about breaking changes, versioning, onboarding, and the full lifecycle of an API that real companies depend on.</li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">

The Team</h2>
We're looking for Back End Engineers to join our Underwriting team. This is the team that takes human judgment out of mortgage origination &mdash; and replaces it with systems that are faster, more consistent, and more accurate than any human process could be.
Mortgage underwriting today is mostly manual. Experts read guidelines, interpret rules, cross-reference documents, and make decisions that determine whether someone gets a home. We're encoding all of that into software. Nobody has fully cracked this yet. The companies that figure it out will define the next generation of lending.
The stakes are real. An incorrectly modeled rule can cost the company tens of thousands of dollars on a single loan. A well-modeled system can help us outcompete everyone in the market.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Here Is What You'll Do</h2><ul><li>
Encode natural language rules into code. You'll work with DSLs and novel techniques &mdash; including AI &mdash; to translate dense regulatory guidelines into executable logic. Think of it as compiling English into a system that makes six-figure decisions.</li><li>
Work side-by-side with mortgage experts. You won't be guessing what the rules mean. You'll pair with people who've spent their careers in mortgage to understand nuance, exceptions, and the &quot;it depends&quot; that makes this domain so hard.</li><li>
Build systems where correctness is everything. This isn't a domain where &quot;close enough&quot; works. You'll design for precision, build robust test coverage, and think deeply about failure modes.</li><li>
Push into uncharted territory. We're applying AI in ways the mortgage industry hasn't seen. You'll help define what's possible &mdash; not just implement what's been done before.</li><li>
Automate complex, regulated processes. Every rule you encode is a step toward a world where mortgages are faster, cheaper, and more accessible.</li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
