Position Name: Software Engineer (Senior) Location: Remote, Washington, DC (DMV) preferred Type: Full-time
Position Description We are seeking a driven, adaptable Software Engineer to play a critical role in building and scaling Thrivory's core technology platform. You will work across the stack—shipping customer-facing features, designing and integrating APIs, managing cloud infrastructure, and helping ensure our systems remain secure, reliable, and compliant in a healthcare environment.
This is a high-impact role at an early-stage company where you will have meaningful ownership over what you build and how it gets shipped. As a member of a lean engineering team, you'll help shape our technical foundations while delivering real value to healthcare providers who rely on our platform to get paid faster.
The ideal candidate thrives in environments with minimal structure, is highly self-sufficient and resourceful, and is comfortable navigating ambiguity. You enjoy solving problems wherever they arise—whether that's improving application performance, debugging a production issue, standing up infrastructure, or building internal tools that make the team faster.
Responsibilities Application Development: Design, build, and maintain features across our product, including backend services, APIs, background jobs, and user-facing functionality. Ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and maintainable.
Full-Stack Ownership: Work comfortably across layers of the stack—database, application logic, frontend interfaces, and integrations—taking features from concept through production.
Infrastructure & DevOps: Contribute to the management and evolution of our cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code. Help maintain deployments, CI/CD pipelines, and production environments to ensure reliability and uptime.
Data & Integrations: Support data pipelines, analytics workflows, and third-party integrations as needed, particularly in areas related to payments, reporting, and operational visibility.
Code Quality & Security: Maintain a high bar for code quality, testing, and security. Implement guardrails and best practices to catch issues early, especially as we leverage automation and AI-assisted development tools.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with product, design, and leadership to translate business needs into technical solutions. Clearly communicate tradeoffs, timelines, and risks.
Operational Excellence: Participate in debugging, monitoring, and incident response when issues arise in production. Contribute to documentation and process improvements that make the system—and the team—more resilient over time.
Requirements
1. 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
2. Strong experience working with multiple web frameworks and programming languages
3. Strong comfort with SQL databases and data modeling
4. Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across codebases and systems
5. Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS or similar), CI/CD and deployment workflows
6. Familiarity with data integrations and ETL pipelines
7. Experience working in early-stage startups or small, fast-moving teams
8. Excellent communication and collaboration skills
Nice to Have
9. Exposure to healthcare technology, fintech, payments, or revenue-related systems
10. Experience with Laravel, and or PHP. Although we are language agnostic, one of our core systems is in Laravel.
11. Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g., Terraform)
12. Experience building or maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.)
The Mindset We're Looking For We're looking for engineers who take ownership, think holistically, and aren't afraid to step outside their comfort zone.
Generalist Orientation: You're willing to learn new tools and domains as the business evolves, rather than staying narrowly scoped to one layer of the stack.
Ownership Mentality: You take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks, and see work through from idea to production.
Pragmatic Judgment: You understand when to prioritize speed and when to prioritize robustness, especially in systems that handle sensitive healthcare and financial data.
Key Performance Indicators
13. Reliability and performance of production systems
14. Quality and timeliness of shipped features
15. Reduction in operational issues and technical debt
16. Effectiveness of cross-functional collaboration
Salary & Benefits
17. Competitive salary, commensurate with experience
18. Early-stage equity component
19. Generous vacation policy (yes, even the Monday after the Super Bowl)
20. Flexible working arrangements
21. Monthly lunch/dinner stipends

Working at Thrivory At Thrivory, we're a small but mighty team united by a shared mission: helping healthcare providers get paid faster while reducing administrative burden for independent practices. We value ownership, curiosity, and collaboration. When we're not heads-down shipping code, you'll find us sharing culinary creations, geeking out over new technologies, and supporting each other in a fast-moving, high-trust environment. We move quickly, take responsibility seriously, and believe the best solutions come from people who care deeply about both the problem and the craft.
