Full description
The Opportunity
Join RAIN—the Rewards & Incentives pod—as we build product experiences that help members form healthy habits and stay engaged with their Hinge Health care journey. Our mission is to use rewards, insights, and thoughtful product experiences to encourage behaviors that support members’ health goals.
RAIN owns member-facing capabilities including points, achievements, streaks, challenges, tiers, and digital and physical incentives. We work across mobile experiences, backend services, experimentation, and operational tooling to make these experiences useful, reliable, measurable, and easy to evolve.
As a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer, you’ll own meaningful product work across the front end and backend, from technical discovery through production. You’ll work closely with Product, Design, Data, and Engineering partners to turn member needs into simple, reliable, and measurable solutions.
What You’ll Accomplish
- Build and operate full-stack features using JavaScript, TypeScript, React Native, NestJS, and Node.js.
- Own projects from technical design through launch, measurement, iteration, and ongoing maintenance.
- Develop well-tested APIs, data models, and mobile experiences for rewards and incentives.
- Translate product ideas into practical solutions and make thoughtful trade-offs between member value, quality, simplicity, and delivery speed.
- Improve reliability through testing, observability, performance improvements, and production support.
- Contribute to architectural decisions, technical documentation, code reviews, and reducing technical debt.
- Use Claude Code and other approved AI tools as part of your development workflow.
- Provide clear context, plan work, review generated changes critically, and validate behavior with tests and running code.
- Mentor teammates and contribute to a collaborative engineering culture.
- Participate in the team’s weekly on-call rotation, helping ensure the reliability and timely support of the systems we build.
Key Partnerships
You will work closely with:
- Product, to define problems, shape roadmaps, prioritize work, and measure outcomes.
- Design and User Experience, to create clear and motivating member experiences.
- Data and Analytics, to design experiments, understand member behavior, and evaluate impact.
- Adjacent Engineering, Platform, Quality, Security, Privacy, and Compliance teams to integrate services and deliver safe, dependable experiences.
