About the role

Principal Software Engineer (Remote, Full-time) — Elixir / AI / Healthcare

Location: U.S. based preferred

Type: Full-time

Compensation: Competitive

Reporting: President / CTOAbout Protera Health Protera Health is building a new model of virtual musculoskeletal care: physician-led, multidisciplinary, technology-enabled, and designed to treat patients the way we would want our own family members treated. We partner with health plans, employers, and healthcare organizations to deliver high-quality MSK care at scale. Our platform supports patient enrollment, clinical care, provider workflows, operations, analytics, partner reporting, and internal automation. We are hiring a Principal Software Engineer to become the senior full-time technical backbone of Protera's engineering organization. This is not a narrow engineering job, an architecture-only role, or a 40-hour-per-week clock-in, clock-out position. We care about ownership, judgment, velocity, and outcomes. The right person will have founder-level autonomy, direct access to leadership, and the opportunity to build core systems that affect real patients, clinicians, and healthcare partners.

The Role:

You will be our most senior full-time individual contributor engineer. We now need an exceptional full-time engineer who can own day-to-day technical execution, write production code, and help run the show from a software standpoint.
You will report directly to the President / CTO. You will collaborate with clinicians, enrollment, operations, analytics, commercial leaders, and occasionally clients or health plan partners.
This is a hands-on builder role. You should expect to code full-time, own major systems, make technical decisions, debug production issues, improve reliability, and turn ambiguous healthcare workflows into simple, durable software.
What You'll OwnYou will help build and own major parts of the Protera platform, including:
Patient onboarding, engagement, and portal workflows
Clinician workflows, scheduling, documentation support, and care coordination
Enrollment, call center, and internal operations tooling
Data pipelines, reporting infrastructure, and partner-facing analytics
Integrations with EMRs, CRM systems, analytics tools, and healthcare vendorsAI-assisted internal tools that improve speed, accuracy, and operational leverage
Platform reliability, security, observability, performance, and maintainability
You may join client, payer, or partner calls when useful so you can understand the real-world problems our software must solve.

What We're Looking For: We are looking for someone who has already operated at at Principal Engineer scope or equivalent, and still wants to spend their time writing production code. You should have:

Deep hands-on experience with Elixir / Phoenix including LiveViewExperienced in AI engineering techniques and tools
Strong full-stack ability, including experience with API's and backend systems, Python and modern data engineering techniques and systems
Experience building and operating production systems used by real customers
Strong database experience, especially PostgreSQL or similar relational systems
Comfort with cloud infrastructure, monitoring, security, and production support
Strong judgment about when to move fast and when correctness, privacy, compliance, or reliability require extra care
Excellent communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders
Meaningful healthcare technology experience in heavily compliant systems, such as HIPAA-regulated software, patient applications, clinician workflows, EMR/EHR integrations, payer workflows, claims, care management, and digital health operations
Pluses include:

Knowledge and experience with Salesforce development, GraphQL, FHIR, HL7, healthcare APIs, AWS, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, or AI-enabled internal tooling. How We WorkWe are building an AI-first healthcare company. AI should be part of how you write, test, refactor, debug, document, and ship software faster. You will thrive here if you are direct, curious, fast, accountable, and comfortable with ambiguity. You understand the real problem, make sensible tradeoffs, and ship. This is a rare opportunity to become the senior full-time technical owner inside a growing healthcare company with real customers, real patients, real revenue, and real operational complexity. If you want to build the operating system for modern MSK care — with Elixir, AI, and real healthcare impact — we would love to meet you.

Compensation and Benefits: Competitive compensation for the right person, with a package based on experience including cash compensation, equity, PTO, benefits, fully remote work environment, and more.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
