Software Engineer

Blossom Health exists to solve the mental health epidemic in America by partnering with psychiatrists to expand access to affordable, timely, clinically effective mental healthcare. Our AI-native care platform is loved by hundreds of clinicians and tens of thousands of patients.

We’re a Series A company with $20M+ raised from Headline, Village Global, and the founders of General Catalyst, Flatiron Health, Sword Health, Fay, Elemy, Zip, Blank Street, Assured, Bridge, Birches Health, and Enzo Health.

The Role:

We're looking for a Software Engineer to build and scale the products and technology powering the future of psychiatric care.

You'll work closely with our Head of Engineering and a small, highly talented team to develop the core systems behind Blossom's AI-native platform, building everything from clinician-facing applications and patient experiences to backend infrastructure and intelligent automation.

This isn't a role where you'll be handed tickets and asked to write code. You'll own meaningful engineering projects end-to-end, contribute to product and architectural decisions, and build technology that directly improves how thousands of patients access mental healthcare.

We're looking for someone with strong software engineering fundamentals, exceptional problem-solving ability, and the ambition to build high-quality products in a fast-moving startup environment.

Why You Should Work Here:

• Be early in a hyper-growth startup: Join a foundational engineering team and help build the products, systems, and infrastructure behind Blossom's next stage of growth.

• Build products with real-world impact: Your code will directly improve the experience of thousands of clinicians and patients, making mental healthcare more accessible and efficient.

• High trust and autonomy: Own meaningful engineering projects from day one, influence product decisions, and have the freedom to turn ideas into production-ready software.

• Talent-dense engineering team: Work alongside exceptional engineers from Meta, Apple, and AWS who bring high technical standards, intellectual curiosity, and a shared ambition to build something consequential.

• Move with speed and purpose: Build and ship quickly, solve challenging problems, and see your work make a tangible difference in a rapidly scaling company.

What You'll Do:

• Build and ship core product experiences: Develop features and applications used directly by clinicians, patients, and internal teams across Blossom's platform.

• Design scalable backend systems: Build and maintain APIs, services, and infrastructure that support our rapidly growing clinical operations.

• Develop AI-native functionality: Integrate intelligent automation, LLM-powered capabilities, and AI-driven workflows into real-world healthcare products.

• Own engineering projects end-to-end: Take features from initial problem definition and technical design through development, testing, deployment, and iteration.

• Solve complex operational challenges: Build systems supporting clinician scheduling, patient workflows, insurance, billing, and other critical healthcare processes.

• Improve system performance and reliability: Identify bottlenecks, optimize application performance, and ensure our platform remains scalable, secure, and dependable.

• Collaborate across engineering and product: Work directly with engineers, clinicians, and business stakeholders to translate complex problems into intuitive, high-quality software.

• Shape our engineering foundation: Contribute to architectural decisions, development practices, and technical standards as our team and platform scale.

You'll Be a Good Fit If:

• You have 2+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally at a highly technical engineering organization or high-growth, venture-backed startup.

• You have strong computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, system design, and software architecture.

• You're highly proficient in Python and/or TypeScript, with experience building and shipping production software.

• You have experience developing backend services, APIs, full-stack applications, or distributed systems.

• You understand the fundamentals of scalable software design, databases, performance optimization, and system reliability.

• You've demonstrated the ability to independently own engineering projects and deliver high-quality software from concept to production.

• You have strong product instincts and care about building intuitive, reliable experiences that solve real user problems.

• You're comfortable working across the stack, learning new technologies, and tackling unfamiliar technical challenges.

• You thrive in fast-moving environments where priorities evolve quickly and engineers are expected to take initiative.

• You have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

• You're authorized to work in the United States.

• You're excited to work in-person in New York City, 5 days a week.

Bonus: You've worked at a top-tier technology company or high-growth, venture-backed startup, with experience building products from 01, scaling backend systems, or integrating AI capabilities into production applications.

What We're Looking For:

• Highly motivated, ambitious, and capable: You want to tackle meaningful engineering challenges and hold yourself to an exceptionally high bar.

• Ownership mindset: You take responsibility for outcomes, not just assigned tasks, and approach your work with a founder's mentality.

• High velocity and high excellence: You move quickly, write high-quality code, and take pride in consistently shipping great products.

• Technically rigorous: You think critically about system design, performance, maintainability, and the long-term implications of engineering decisions.

• Product-minded: You care about the people using your software and understand how technical decisions influence the overall user experience.

• An explorer: You're comfortable with ambiguity, curious about new technologies, and excited to solve problems without an established playbook.

• Humble: You value feedback, collaborate openly, and use your strengths in service of the team.

Compensation & Benefits:

• $150,000–$220,000 base salary

• Meaningful equity ownership

• Significant growth opportunities as the company scales

• Beautiful, sunshine and snack-filled office in the heart of Flatiron, Manhattan

• Health, dental, and vision insurance

• A focus on outcomes, not hours

• Team outings, offsites, and unlimited PTO
