This team owns our core MSK programs and the build-out of new ones, like our recently launched migraine offering, that let us scale the business into new conditions and reach more members.\nAs a Staff Engineer, you'll help take new programs of care from early concept to a stable, scaled offering, then keep sharpening what already works. That means building the greenfield features that make a new program a real, differentiated offering, not just an existing treatment experience with a new label. It also means extending and hardening the shared services that power all of our programs. You'll work closely with Product and with engineers across multiple partner teams to ship a coherent, end-to-end program of care for our members.\nWhat You'll Accomplish\nLead through influence: Take on the team's most ambiguous or technically complex problems, setting direction through your own technical work, design docs, and mentorship rather than through formal authority. Sometimes that means digging into the platform itself, when that's what's holding the team back from scaling into new programs of care.\n\nBring new programs of care to life: Lead the technical design and delivery of new MSK programs (in the vein of our migraine launch), building the features and workflows that make each program a credible, differentiated offering.\n\nStrengthen what's already live: Take newly launched programs from shipped to stable and scaled, improving reliability, performance, and quality as usage grows.\n\nExtend our shared platform: Design and build within our existing services (NestJS backend, React Native app, PostgreSQL) to support new programs without fragmenting the platform.\n\nPartner deeply with Product: Work hand-in-hand with Product to translate program strategy into technical plans, surfacing trade-offs and options as scope evolves.\n\nCollaborate across teams: Coordinate closely with engineers on partner teams to deliver a cohesive member experience across the many services and teams a program touches.\n\nElevate engineering practices: Champion strong practices around CI/CD, testing, and monitoring. Mentor other engineers and raise the bar for the team.\n\nWho You Are\nA Technical Visionary: You navigate ambiguity well and can turn a broad product goal, like \"launch a new program of care,\" into a concrete, scalable technical plan.\n\nA Builder Across Horizons: You're equally comfortable in 0→1 greenfield work and in the less glamorous work of hardening something already live.\n\nA Force Multiplier: You raise the level of everyone around you through code review, mentorship, and by setting technical standards that reduce friction.\n\nA Natural Collaborator: You thrive working across team boundaries, with Product and with engineers on other teams, to deliver something coherent even when the work spans many services and owners.\n\nBasic Qualifications\n5+ years of non-internship full-time professional software engineering experience\n\n2+ years of experience with TypeScript/JavaScript across the stack (Node.js/NestJS on the backend; React or React Native on the frontend).\n\n2+ years of experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and containerization tools.\n\n2+ years of experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL or similar), distributed systems, and microservices architectures.\n\n2+ years of experience mentoring or leading other engineers and collaborating effectively across cross-functional teams.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nNestJS & React Native: Direct experience with NestJS. Any mobile app development experience is a plus (React Native or otherwise).\n\nMulti-team delivery: Experience shipping a product or feature that required close, ongoing coordination across several engineering teams, not just your own.\n\nRegulated Industry Knowledge: Experience working within healthcare (HIPAA) or other highly regulated environments involving sensitive member data.\n\nHigh-Influence IC Track Record: A track record of operating as a high-influence individual contributor at the Staff level, shaping technical direction and raising the bar for a team without having direct reports.\n\nHinge Health Hybrid Model\nWe believe that remote work and in-person work have their own advantages and disadvantages, and we want to be able to leverage the best of both worlds. Employees in hybrid roles are required to be in the office 3 days per week, for the full 8 hours of a typical business day. The San Francisco office has a dog-friendly workplace program.\nAbout Hinge Health\nAt Hinge Health, we’re using technology to scale and automate the delivery of healthcare, starting with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, which affect over 1.7 billion people worldwide.
