Software Engineer, Internal Tools

Metriport is an open-source data intelligence platform that helps healthcare organizations access and exchange patient data in real-time. We integrate with all major US healthcare IT systems and tap into comprehensive medical data for 300+ million individuals.

We've found product-market fit with multi-million ARR, 100+ customers (including Amazon One Medical, Strive Health, Circle Medical, and Brightside Health), backing from top VCs, and years of runway. We're ready to scale. We're a tight-knit, high-performing team of mostly former founders (including two YC alumni). We're engineering-heavy, operate with minimal bureaucracy and high autonomy, and hire based on competence, not prestige. We push hard—founders work six days a week from our SF office—but give everyone freedom to craft their schedule. We measure output and we're committed to sustainable intensity.

About You

You're obsessed with automating repetitive tasks — your first instinct when you see a manual process is "how do I make this run by itself?" At Metriport, you'll own the internal tooling that keeps our company moving fast. You'll spot the friction, build the fix, and ship it — without waiting to be asked.

You're entrepreneurial-minded, with the drive to push work forward even when it's not anyone else's top priority.

You have strong interpersonal skills and are comfortable working directly with stakeholders across Eng, Ops, and business teams to understand their needs and translate them into working solutions.

You're a hacker at heart — you get excited about wiring together services that weren't built to talk to each other, and you know how to make it work securely and at scale.

You keep security top of mind. We work with sensitive healthcare data, and you treat that seriously — vetting third-party integrations, applying least-privilege thinking, and never cutting corners that could expose PHI.

You follow the AI tooling space closely and try to use it to solve real business problems, but you have the judgment to know what's appropriate for an enterprise context and what's a hard no.

You care about outcomes over elegance. A Slack bot that saves the Ops team an hour a day is worth more than a perfect abstraction nobody uses.

What You'll Be Doing

After ramping up on our internal tools and workflows, you'll own the systems that make our teams more efficient and more secure. Day to day, this looks like:

Automating cross functional processes: many of our internal processes are still manual and error prone; you'll work with non-engineering functions at Metriport to automate away their friction within the company

Building Automations End-to-End: Designing and shipping integrations between our internal and third-party systems — from scoping the requirement with a stakeholder, to deploying a working solution, to making sure it doesn't break quietly.

Improving Developer Experience and Onboarding: Automating local environment setup for new engineers, improving CICD speed, reducing the time-to-productive from hours to minutes.

Evaluating and Adopting New Tools: Researching integration platforms (Zapier, n8n, Make, etc.) and AI productivity tools, working with the Security team to assess their security posture, and rolling them out in a way that meets our compliance requirements.

Reporting: Automating recurring reports by pulling from AWS Athena, REST APIs, and other data sources — so the team gets accurate data without manual effort every month.
