💊 Why Squad Health

Squad Health is solving the number one problem—access—in the $500B specialty medication market. We’re doing this by obsessively solving the root cause of the problem: providers are drowning in dozens of hours of administrative work per week on medications, from benefits verification to prior authorizations to patient assistance. We are solving the problem for providers and, by extension, their patients, by integrating with not only their systems (e.g. EMRs) but with every key stakeholder—payers, pharmacies, pharmaceutical manufacturers. Our AI platform dramatically increases a patient’s ability to get access to life-changing therapies by centralizing and automating these complex workflows and in doing so we are driving scaled impact for manufacturers who see access as their number one barrier to success.

In the near future, a significant percentage of the expensive medications in the US will go through Squad’s platform. Providers will start every prescribing journey by sending the order or prescription to us, and our platform will take over from there. Our belief is that by being the first medication access platform to truly put providers and their patients first, we will transform how they experience the medication journey and eliminate the overwhelming barriers to access that exist today.

The proof is in the pudding! We already work with thousands of providers across 40 states and are doubling our doctor and patient footprint every few months. We are backed by world class investors who understand the magnitude of the opportunity in front of us, including CRV, Menlo, Defy, and BoxGroup — we continue to grow the team across every function to meet our ambitions.

🧑🏽‍🔬 Why this role

We're looking for a Member of Technical Staff (MTS) to join our engineering team and help lead the future of Squad Health’s industry-redefining medication access platform.

This is not a traditional software engineering role. You'll work directly with founders and other team leaders to design, build, and scale the critical AI systems that power our platform. You'll have significant influence over technical architecture, engineering practices, product direction, and company growth. In short, you will help determine what we build and how we build.

We're looking for engineers who thrive in ambiguity, move quickly, and enjoy solving hard problems with real-world impact.

📋 What You’ll Do

• Drive architectural decisions that will shape the future of the platform
• Design and build core platform capabilities across backend services, APIs, data systems, and user-facing applications
• Own projects from concept through production deployment (and scale!)
• Partner closely with product, operations, and leadership teams to solve complex workflow challenges
• Improve reliability, scalability, security, and observability across our systems
• Mentor and elevate other engineers through code reviews and technical leadership
• Help define Squad’s engineering culture as we continue to grow the team

🔍 What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of software engineering experience
• Strong experience building and scaling production systems
• Deep proficiency in Python
• Experience working across multiple parts of the stack, including backend services, APIs, databases, and modern web applications
• Strong systems thinking and architectural judgment
• Ability to independently drive projects with minimal oversight
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• High ownership mentality and strong product intuition

🏆 Bonus Points

• Startup experience, particularly early-stage environments
• Healthcare, healthtech, or workflow automation experience
• Experience building AI-native products and/or AI agents at scale

🎉 What we can offer you

• Highly competitive salary ($200-260k)
• Opportunity to work in person in Flatiron (near Madison Square Park) with an ambitious, talent-dense team at a fast-growing, well-funded early stage AI healthtech startup backed by top-tier investors
• 100% premium coverage for health, dental, and vision insurance among other benefits
