Staff Software Engineer (Full Stack)

Join Modern Health, a leading mental health platform, as a Staff Software Engineer (Full Stack). In this role, you will be responsible for designing and continuously improving an adaptive care experience that drives sustainable engagement and better outcomes for members. You will work cross-functionally with product and design, translate ambiguous problems into clear technical plans, and execute against that plan. You will also build and maintain GraphQL APIs, implement web and mobile user experiences, and maintain HIPAA and GDPR compliance. Additionally, you will mentor other engineers, participate in on-call duties, and contribute to cross-team engineering forums.

• Experience leading and architecting large-scale projects as a technical thought leader
• Native mobile development
• AI/LLM-powered product features (e.g., recommendation systems, conversational or agentic experiences)
• Experience with maturely leveraging AI in your development lifecycle to improve quality and speed for yourself and other engineers
