Software Engineer [Product]

About Phare

Our mission is to make healthcare reimbursement fair and transparent, so providers can spend more time caring for patients and less time haggling over costs. We have brought together top AI scientists and engineers with clinicians and payments experts to tackle some of the most complex AI challenges in healthcare. Backed by leading investors like General Catalyst, we’re growing quickly and looking for builders who want their code to change how care gets paid for.

The Role

This is a senior Product Engineering role within a tight-knit, mission-driven team. You will own end-to-end features that translate our AI engine into delightful user experiences. You’ll work across the stack, leaning toward backend systems but touching the UI when it counts. Expect to:

• Shape the data layer - define schemas, indexes, and migrations in Postgres (with Prisma) so queries stay fast as data grows.

• Build dependable services - write Node/TypeScript APIs that serve both ML pipelines and React clients.

• Connect the front end - hook those APIs into clear, accessible React screens and refine our design system when needed.

• Bring AI features to users - publish model outputs with plain-language explanations and add monitoring to keep them trustworthy.

• Ensure security and compliance - meet HIPAA and SOC2 requirements while keeping CI/CD and IaC workflows straightforward.

• Mentor teammates and guide technical direction as Phare grows.

Who We’re Looking For

• 4+ years building production web apps with a Node.js + TypeScript backend and React front end.

• Strong PostgreSQL skills-schema design, indexing, query tuning-and hands-on with Prisma (or similar ORM).

• Comfortable designing RESTful APIs and writing tests that run in CI/CD.

• Product mindset: you own performance, usability, and accessibility from idea to ship.

Bonus points

• Serverless or edge deployments (AWS Lambda, Vercel, Netlify) and Terraform for IaC.

• Experience with design systems (MUI or similar) and modern a11y standards.

• Observability tooling (eg Sentry) and auth flows

• Background in healthcare, fintech, or other data-heavy, regulated domains.

Benefits

• Top-of-market compensation (salary + equity)

• Flexible PTO & hybrid culture (SoHo or Kings Cross HQ 3 days/wk; exceptional remote considered)

• Mission-driven, collaborative team

• Twice-yearly offsites to align, build, and celebrate.
