Job description

Why Charlie Health?

Young people across the country need our help. The sad reality is that a mental health crisis has taken hold of our most vulnerable population—leading to record levels of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and self-harm. From Manhattan to Montana, this reality is compounded by issues of access, both geographic and financial. The mental health landscape is systemically broken, and our young people are suffering as a result.

Charlie Health has set out on a mission to reimagine how high acuity care is delivered to young people and families in crisis. Our initial offering is a virtual intensive outpatient program, which places peers with similar mental health experiences and goals into customized virtual groups. Our team of masters-level clinicians lead groups multiple times per week to deliver a higher level of care.

Our goal is to help young people and families heal together. Through a combination of exceptional medical and psychological care, engaged community partnerships, and best-in-class technology, we provide an unparalleled approach to recovery support that serves individual needs in an integrated way. Join us in our mission to ensure that every young person—regardless of location or socioeconomic status—can get the care that they deserve.

About the Role

As an early member of Charlie Health’s Engineering Team, you will play a big part in backend development and maintenance of applications that directly impact our high-acuity patients and the clinicians who support them.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Back-End who enjoys partnering closely with the rest of the product development team to make durable contributions and technical decisions as we race toward product launches. You’ll thrive here if you find greenfield work energizing, have a high quality bar, and prefer to iterate to success.

This is a unique opportunity to impact millions of lives while building something from scratch, so we’re looking for someone who is inspired by our mission and as excited about this opportunity as we are.

Responsibilities
  • Develop, release, and maintain high quality, backend services that drive meaningful business value using Python, Fast API, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, Informatica, Prefect, AWS, Aptible, Terraform.
  • Own infrastructure problems from inception and architecture to launch.
  • Set strong patterns for our growing team to follow.
  • Partner with teammates across the organization to understand our business. Leverage that understanding to drive data modeling discussions and decisions.
  • Be an owner. Collaborate with product and design to iterate to top notch product solutions.
  • Identify bottlenecks and implement improvements to engineering processes, tools, and procedures. We’re early and the expectation of folks joining at this stage is that you’ll play a huge part in setting and improving how we work.
  • Promote a culture of collaboration and learning across engineering, product, and design team via mentoring, documentation, presentations, or other knowledge-sharing methods.
  • Ensure our clients can always access the care they need by participating in our on-call rotation.
Requirements
  • 4+ years of professional experience developing backend services and infrastructure that deliver meaningful business value.
  • Expertise and hands on production experience with an application programming language, preferably Python.
  • Excellent at managing ambiguity. Masterful ability to break down big, messy problems (demanding requirements, bugs, etc.) into smaller parts with tractable solutions and clear iterations.
  • Meaningful scope within an application engineering team. Experience making or contributing to important technical tradeoff decisions with cross team implications.
  • Growth mindset and a sense of humor. You welcome feedback, and when you stumble, you get back up. You adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment and enjoy fostering an environment that prioritizes fun, learning, and growth. #LI-Remote
