About the role:

We are seeking an exceptional Staff Software Engineer to join our organization. Garner’s Engineering team tackles incredibly hard technical problems for a mission that truly matters. Our systems analyze billions of medical records to rank healthcare providers across the country. We are an AWS + Kubernetes shop, and we are constantly introducing new technologies as our system load doubles every year. We expect our engineers to champion cutting-edge industry practices as we aggressively embrace AI in every facet of our operations and norms. We are seeking teammates who take pride in delivering their best work while fostering a strong team culture.

Where you will work:

Garner is headquartered in NYC, but this position is available for individuals who are comfortable with remote work and occasional travel to HQ.

What you will do:

• Lead team-level technical strategy and execution on multi-quarter time horizons
• Use AI to build, optimize, and maintain software systems
• Uplevel engineers across the organization by raising the technical bar
• Collaborate across disciplines to understand our domain and iterate on projects
• Protect our users’ privacy and security through best practices

The ideal candidate has:

• 6+ years of software engineering experience
• Experience leading teams of engineers with demonstrated impact on technical strategy

• Demonstrated ability to build complex systems using AI coding agents (we use Claude Code)
• Able to learn quickly and mentor others
• Familiarity with data security and HIPAA compliance
• A desire to be a part of a high-performing, mission-driven team that operates with intense urgency, a strong sense of individual accountability, and a commitment to authentic feedback

What you’ll get here

You’ll work on problems that matter, at a company working to change healthcare at scale. You’ll work at the intersection of AI and systemic healthcare reform, where the problems we solve are as interesting and compelling as the mission.

At Garner, you’ll take on real, ambitious problems with real ownership and autonomy, alongside exceptional, principles-based people who genuinely want you to win. It’s demanding by design. You’ll be challenged to stretch beyond what you thought possible and receive consistent coaching to help you grow and do the best work of your career. This isn't the right fit for everyone, and that's intentional. The people here are driven by what's at stake for real people, and that's what gives our intensity its purpose.

Technologies we use:

• Claude Code, Kubernetes, AWS, Airflow, DBT, Python, TypeScript, React, Go

This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing company in a transformative role, helping shape the future of healthcare.
