Job description

Solace is a healthcare advocacy marketplace that connects patients and families to experts who help them understand and take charge of their personal health

About the Role

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will be a hands-on technical leader, expected to write production code daily while driving architectural decisions and technical excellence across our stack. You will be a key force in scaling our platform, solving complex problems, and ensuring our engineering team follows best practices.

You are an expert in your craftβ€”someone who can dive deep into both frontend and backend challenges, mentor other engineers, and help set the technical direction of our product. You thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and have an extreme bias toward execution. While you won’t have direct reports, your influence will be critical in guiding the team and ensuring we build a scalable, high-performance product.

About Solace

By harnessing the power of human connection through technology, Solace is transforming healthcare in the U.S.

Healthcare in the U.S. is fundamentally broken. The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate the system without help. By helping people work with professional health advocates, Solace serves as an integral, personal support layer for health issues in a way that the health system can’t. Using proprietary technology to match patients with experienced advocates, Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare and helps individuals and families make informed decisions that result in better outcomes.

Solace is a Series B startup founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures and Signalfire. We have a lean, fully-remote U.S. team distributed coast-to-coast.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the end-to-end development of key product features, from database models to UI components.

  • Serve as a technical leader and drive best practices across the engineering team.

  • Act as a force multiplier by mentoring engineers, conducting code reviews, and improving development workflows.

  • Collaborate with product and design teams to translate complex requirements into scalable solutions.

  • Architect and optimize our systems for performance, scalability, and maintainability.

  • Champion best practices in code quality, testing, and continuous integration/deployment.

  • Proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks in both technical architecture and team processes.

  • Lead large releases to production on a continuous deployment cadence.

What You Bring to the Table

  • 7+ years of full-stack engineering experience, with deep expertise in both frontend and backend technologies.

  • Mastery of React, TypeScript, and Node.js, with a proven track record of shipping production-grade applications.

  • A strong background in scalable system design, API development, and database architecture.

  • Experience working in fast-paced startup environments where you’ve built and shipped products from scratch.

  • Ability to set technical direction and mentor engineers, helping them grow in their craft.

  • Strong problem-solving skills and an ability to tackle complex technical challenges with pragmatic solutions.

  • An extreme bias toward action and executionβ€”you move fast, iterate quickly, and get things done.

Our Tech Stack

  • TypeScript across all our applications

  • NestJS API with TypeORM

  • Postgres

  • Redis

  • React/Next.js

  • Custom UI library built on Ant Design

  • Heroku

If you’re an expert engineer who thrives in high-impact, high-autonomy environments, and you want to help shape the future of healthcare tech, we’d love to hear from you!

This is a remote position. Applicants must be based in the United States.
