In this role, you’ll help shape the future of our platform by integrating AI not only into how we build software, but into the product experiences themselves. You’ll work across complex systems to design scalable, intelligent architectures and create AI-enabled features that fundamentally improve our product offering. This isn’t a ticket-taking role. We’re looking for an engineer with a strong systems mindset and product orientation, someone who can step back, understand the “why,” and design thoughtful, end-to-end solutions. You should be energized by ambiguity, drawn to solving hard problems, and excited to experiment with the latest AI tooling to accelerate development and innovation. As a Staff Engineer, you’ll set technical direction, influence architecture, and raise the bar across the team. You’ll partner closely with product, design, and DevOps while mentoring others and driving best practices but most importantly, you’ll help define what modern, AI-driven software engineering looks like in practice. ## MEDICAL HOME NETWORK Since 2009, Medical Home Network (MHN) has partnered with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) nationwide to transform care in the safety net, reduce health disparities, and build healthier communities.
