## Job description

Our team is committed to enhancing physician and patient quality of life through Elation, a SaaS cloud-based clinical platform. Since inception, we’ve been focused on building an intuitive, reliable experience that empowers physicians to deliver better care to patients.

Elation is looking for a full-stack engineer with a deep understanding of web programming, design, and technical obstacles to join our application team focused on building and maintaining AI driven product experiences. As a member of the team you’ll be deeply involved in the system design, development, and maintenance of these products.

If you’re excited about building AI-powered tools that help doctors and patients, we want to hear from you — even if you don’t check every box below!

What You’ll Do in Your First 60 Days

- Ship your first AI-powered feature improvement to production
- Partner with Product and UX to scope and design at least one new capability
- Get familiar with our stack (Python, MySQL, React, AWS) and AI integration patterns
- Participate in code reviews and share knowledge with the team

What Success at 6–12 Months Looks Like

- You’re owning significant features end-to-end, from design through deployment
- You’re helping shape technical direction for AI-native product experiences
- You’re mentoring other engineers and collaborating to improve team practices
- You’ve built strong partnerships with support and infrastructure to help triage bugs and quickly resolve production issues
- The AI features you’ve built are measurably improving physician and patient outcomes

## How We Work

A typical team at Elation includes 3–5 engineers, an engineering manager, a product manager, a UX designer, and QA working together on a specific product area. Engineers have autonomy over technical implementation decisions while partnering with Product on feature scope and priorities. You’ll own features end-to-end — from architecture and design through deployment and production support.

## What We’re Looking For

Essential

- 5+ years of professional software development experience
- Experience building APIs using modern backend technologies
- Ability to communicate complex technical problems clearly to both technical and non-technical partners
- Track record of delivering high-quality software projects
- Enthusiasm and interest in building systems using AI and large language models

Valued but Not Required

- Experience building systems with AI/LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
- Experience with server-side technology including Python and MySQL
- Experience with a modern JavaScript framework (React, Angular, etc.)
- Experience deploying systems on AWS or other cloud providers
- DevOps/observability experience or strong interest in learning
- Knowledge of US healthcare industry and health tech

Everyone Is Welcome
