Nearly 30% of patients in the U.S. skip preventive or chronic care simply because they can’t get to a doctor’s office. For many, the ER becomes their first touchpoint with the healthcare system-driving over$300B in avoidable costs every year.\nBy using the same technologies that power leading marketplace and last-mile platforms, we deliver care where people are, especially those who need it most. So far, we’ve supported more than 2 million patients across 22 states, completed 130,000+ in-home visits, and maintained a 92 NPS. Our team of clinicians, technologists, and operators have raised over $125M to date with investors like a16z, General Catalyst, GV, and Accel and enjoy a multi-year runway.\nAbout the Role\nWe’re hiring a Software Engineer to join our Logistics Optimization team, where we tackle some of the hardest algorithmic and operational problems in healthcare. You’ll design systems that balance clinician supply, patient demand, and routing efficiency-essentially the logistics backbone of Sprinter’s in-home care delivery model. This is a deeply technical, high-impact role where you’ll work on problems at the intersection of operations research, simulation, and scalable distributed systems.\nHybrid & Office Experience\nWe operate on a hybrid schedule, working from the office Monday through Thursday, with Fridays designated as work-from-anywhere days.\nWe care deeply about work-life balance and are happy to provide flexibility when life happens. We ask that employees be in the office Monday through Thursday to collaborate with their teams while maintaining flexibility where it matters most.\nLunch is provided every day, and the entire team takes an hour to eat together. It's one of the ways we stay connected outside of meetings. You'll usually find us playing a board game before getting back to work.\nWhat will you do:\nDesign and implement algorithms that optimize clinician routing, scheduling, and dispatch at national scale\n\nBuild simulations that model demand, capacity, and patient behavior under real-world constraints\n\nDevelop predictive models for cancellations, no-shows, and overbooking optimization\n\nCollaborate with product and ops teams to translate complex logistics challenges into scalable software systems\n\nPrototype and productionize forecasting and optimization models in a distributed environment\n\nOwn projects end-to-end-from design to implementation and iteration\n\nWhat you have done:\n2-3 years of software engineering experience with strong backend or full-stack fundamentals\n\nProficiency in JavaScript / TypeScript (preferred) and/or Python\n\nExperience designing or implementing optimization, forecasting, or simulation systems\n\nBackground in operations research, applied math, or quantitative modeling\n\nShipped production systems that balance technical complexity and real-world constraints\n\nCollaborated cross-functionally with product, ops, or data science teams to drive measurable impact\n\nWhat gives you an edge:\nExperience with global optimization techniques or Monte Carlo simulations\n\nBackground in logistics, scheduling, or large-scale routing systems\n\nPrior work in healthcare or other operationally complex, data-heavy environments\n\nExperience in 0→1 environments or scaling early-stage technical systems\n\nYou’re motivated by solving real problems that improve access to care\n\nOur tech stack:\nTypeScript / Node.js\n\nPython\n\nGraphQL\n\nAWS Amplify Stack (AppSync, DynamoDB, Lambda, CloudFormation)\n\nBigQuery, Elasticsearch / OpenSearch\n\nLooker, Kibana\n\nForecasting, simulation, and optimization frameworks\n\nCustom route annealing and distributed scheduling models\n\nWhat we offer:\nMeaningful pre-IPO equity\n\nCompetitive salary aligned with engineering levels\n\nMedical, dental, and vision fully covered for you and your dependents\n\nFlexible PTO + 10 paid holidays\n\n401(k) with company match\n\n16-week parental leave (8 weeks for partners)\n\nHSA / FSA contributions\n\nLife, short-term, and long-term disability coverage\n\nFree daily lunch in-office\n\nAnnual learning stipend\n\nThe interview process\nWe aim to complete the process within 2-3 weeks. It typically includes:\n\nRecruiter Screen (30 minutes)\n\nTechnical Assessment (45-Minutes)\n\nHiring Manager Conversation (30 minutes)\n\nOnsite Interview (3 hours) - Systems Design (optimization / logistics-focused) + Behavioral Interview + Lunch with the team\n\nReferences\n\nSprinter Health is an equal opportunity employer.
