About this role


Changing Healthcare For Good

At Angle Health, we believe the healthcare system should be accessible, transparent, and easy to navigate. As an AI-native, integrated healthcare company, we are replacing legacy systems with modern infrastructure to deliver members and patients the care they need when they need it. If you want to build the future of healthcare, we'd love for you to join us.


The Role
As an early engineer at Angle, you'll play a key role in architecting and scaling the core backend infrastructure that powers our healthcare platform. This is an opportunity to build systems from the ground up—designing APIs, structuring data models, and optimizing performance to support a high-growth company.

You'll work closely with product owners, designers, and other engineers to bring new features to life, ensuring our systems are both scalable and reliable. From architecting backend services to debugging performance bottlenecks, you’ll have full ownership of the product lifecycle—shaping everything from system design to implementation.

This role is perfect for engineers who love tackling complex problems in a fast-paced environment, enjoy working with cross-functional teams, and want to see their work directly impact the future of healthcare. If you're excited by the challenge of building high-performance backend systems at scale, we'd love to have you on board.

This position is remote within the US.

Core Responsibilities

  • Work directly with the Head of R&D in architecting and building Angle's backend infrastructure

  • Work with product owners & designers to build a scalable implementation process across multiple web products

  • Support the entire application lifecycle, including concept, design, test, release, and support phases

  • Build optimal backend applications that are performant at scale

  • Work together with the product leadership to plan new features

  • Oversee the compliance of applications with established quality standards

What We Value

  • 4+ years software engineering experience

  • Strong understanding of business context and a desire to connect engineering solutions to real-world problems, driving impactful outcomes for the company and its users

  • Strong engineering background in technical fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, and Physics

  • Familiarity with data structures, CI/CD, software development lifecycles, backend frameworks, and other technical tools

  • Demonstrated proficiency in Python and Django, experience with Java is a plus

  • Demonstrated ability to learn and work independently and make decisions with minimal supervision

  • A desire to be part of the journey to change the face of healthcare

  • Inspire your colleagues with your thirst for mastering the things you work with

  • Are a passionate developer, proud of the quality of your work

The salary range for this job opportunity is $100,000 to $200,000 per year, which is the amount Angle Health anticipates paying for this position at the time of this job posting. The actual base salary offered may differ and will depend on various factors such as geographic location, skills, qualifications, and experience, as well as internal equity.



Because We Value You:

  • 100% company-paid health, vision, and dental insurance — for you and your dependents

  • Supplemental Life, AD&D, and Short-Term Disability coverage options

  • Discretionary time off — take the time you need, when you need it

  • Opportunity for rapid career progression

  • 3 months of paid parental leave, plus a flexible return-to-work policy (after 12 months of employment)

  • Equinox membership, Monthly MetroCard, and Annual Citi Bike coverage for NYC office employees
