It is managed at home, in relationships, in the everyday. What's on the dinner table, what gets said, and who notices when someone's struggling. For the 130 million Americans managing a chronic condition, the healthcare system has offered the same answer for decades: a 15-minute doctor's visit, a pamphlet, and a portal login they'll never use.\nAt Nuna, we are building an AI health coach that shows up like a person who actually has time: available at 3am, infinitely patient, and never behind a waiting room. We use motivational interviewing to help patients and their families see themselves clearly, design experiments that fit their real lives, and navigate a system that has not historically been on their side. We are building from the ground up around a simple belief: patients don't want to be healthy; they want their lives back.\nWe're not competing with other health apps. We're competing with the moment a person gives up on getting better. If that's a problem you want to work on, we'd like to talk.\nYour team\nWe are a small team of engineers, designers, product managers, and clinicians who work together to build for both patients and providers. Our products are only as good as the care and science behind them. \nYou will be expected to own real pieces of the product from day one and be responsible for building, shipping, and supporting them in production.\nThe role\nAs a Lead Software Engineer, you own meaningful parts of the product end to end: you design them, build them, ship them, and keep them running. You'll work in the systems at the heart of the coach - the AI and agent logic, the services behind it, the data it depends on - and you'll make the day-to-day architecture and trade-off calls within your domain. You'll do this with a high degree of autonomy, and you'll help raise the bar for the engineers around you. Comfort with ambiguity matters here: the work rarely arrives fully specified.\nWhat you’ll do\nOwn meaningful features and services end to end - design, build, ship, and operate them in production\n\nLead and mentor small teams of engineers\n\nDrive stakeholder alignment between product, design, data and engineering\n\nMake architecture decisions in the systems you work in, including the AI/agent and product systems at the core of the coach\n\nWrite high-quality, well-tested, observable code, and help others do the same through reviews and pairing\n\nTreat privacy, security, and the responsible handling of health data as part of doing the job well\n\nBreak ambiguous product problems into shippable work, making pragmatic trade-offs to deliver\n\nWhat we’re looking for\nBachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related field with 6+ years of industry experience\n\nExperience leading small teams of engineers\n\nStrong engineering skills with the ability to own a feature or system end to end - backend services, APIs, and the code that ties them together\n\nExperience operating what you build: testing, deployment, and observability\n\nComfort with ambiguity within your domain - able to move from a rough problem to a shipped solution\n\nClear communication and the ability to work well across product, design, and engineering\n\nA genuine interest in improving healthcare alongside an interdisciplinary team\n\nBonus Points\nExperience with Kotlin, TypeScript, React, and Flutter\n\nExperience with AI/LLM product systems or agents\n\nYou've worked with healthcare data, or in another high-trust, regulated domain\n\nMobile experience, or experience bridging mobile clients and backend systems\n\nExperience shipping in an early-stage or fast-moving consumer product\n\nNuna is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics and/or veteran status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3860,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Health Data & Interoperability","Health Insurance & Benefits"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-13T15:10:48Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-09-14T17:17:12Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-06T18:44:58Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"green card filings: 1","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":8,"green_card_filings_12m":1,"median_offered_wage_usd":272500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":13,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.448,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":63,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":230000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nuna-lead-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nuna-lead-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T21:19:31Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2229,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":7916},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=7916"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnuna-lead-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnuna-lead-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnuna-lead-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nuna-lead-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnuna-lead-software-engineer"}]}
