What the job involves

• As a Senior Software Engineer at K Health, you are the champion of technical excellence for a high-stakes portfolio of clinical AI and a suite of products that serve the patients and the physicians
• We don't just build apps; we build, and operate modern, AI-powered, 24/7 virtual clinics for the nation’s largest health systems
• In this role, your mission is to architect a product ecosystem where reliability, privacy, and performance are non-negotiable
• You will lead the development of reusable components and resilient architectures that exude trust, ensuring that every patient interaction is seamless and every clinical data point is secure
• You will be a "multiplier," creating the foundational frameworks that allow us to deploy 5-star experiences across a portfolio of partners without sacrificing the quality our users depend on
• Architect for Trust: Design and drive a unified product engineering strategy that supports a portfolio of products and solutions, prioritizing modularity, reusability, and extreme resiliency
• Full-Stack Ownership: Own the end-to-end lifecycle of products and features, from multi-platform clients, to the Kotlin/JVM-based backend services that power them
• Quality as a Feature: Define and enforce standards for high-stakes engineering—ensuring that performance, accessibility, and data privacy are baked into the architecture, not added as afterthoughts
• Platform Innovation: Proactively modernize our systems to leverage agentic AI tools that improve developer productivity and team efficiency
• Platform Evolution: Build and maintain the shared libraries and DSLs that enable rapid, high-quality deployments for our health system partners
• Technical Stewardship: Act as a stabilizing force in complex technical situations, bringing clarity to ambiguous requirements and making informed decisions that mitigate risk
