- TypeScript proficiency: Our entire stack is TypeScript. You write clean, maintainable TS without hand-holding.
- React proficiency: Our internal operations tool is React-based. You can build and extend UI components to surface new workflows.
- Integration experience: Hands-on experience connecting APIs, webhooks, and third-party services. You deeply understand REST, OAuth, mTLS, websockets and other integration technologies and know when an
- Security-aware mindset: You understand what it means to handle sensitive data responsibly — secrets management, scoped permissions, secure credential storage. You don't need to be told to think about
- Self-directed: You're comfortable working on projects where you're the only one tracking progress. You create urgency for yourself.
- Location: San Francisco / Bay Area (or willing to relocate).
Nice to have
- Experience building internal dashboards, admin tooling, or ops automation in a B2B SaaS environment.
- Familiarity with our tooling ecosystem: AWS (Athena, Lambda, etc.), Slack, GitHub Actions, Pylon, PostHog, GSuite.
- Experience with integration platforms like Zapier, n8n, or Make.
- Exposure to healthcare data (FHIR, HL7, PHI handling) — understanding the stakes is a significant advantage.
- Experience using LLMs or AI agents to automate workflows (prompt engineering, API integration, tool use).

About Us
Medical data exchange is one of the biggest unsolved problems in US healthcare. If you've spent any real time in the healthcare system, you've felt it, and it only gets worse the sicker and older you get. Metriport exists to fix that. We connect to the data sources the healthcare providers of tomorrow need, take raw data that's unusable in its source form, and turn it into a single clean format that care teams, and their agents, actually use to improve outcomes. Record retrieval across thousands of legacy systems and antiquated data pipes that used to take weeks now takes seconds. Clinicians walk into appointments with the full patient picture already in hand, and that speed can mean spotting a condition early enough to actually treat it.
We're not a healthcare company. We're a technology company that happens to operate in healthcare, and we build every layer ourselves: acquisition, transform, and insight. Legacy EHRs were built to get providers paid, not to serve the clinical experience. We're building what should have existed instead: the system of record for all of US healthcare. We started in data exchange. Today we compete with the largest data platforms in the space. Tomorrow we will be the infrastructure layer healthcare runs on.
We've found product-market fit (multi-million dollar ARR, 100+ customers including Amazon One Medical, Circle Medical, Color Health, and Strive Health) and we're backed by top-tier VCs with years of runway ahead of us. If you’ve had a good healthcare experience in the past few years, there’s a good chance Metriport was behind it. That’s the version of healthcare we want people to not just expect, but demand. Join us and build the future.
About You
We're a small, high-output team, mostly former founders including YC alumni, and we operate with real autonomy and almost no bureaucracy. We hire on competence, not pedigree. Leaders are in the office six days a week, and we generally expect the team to be available six days a week too. Not because we count hours, but because there's always more wood to chop when revolutionizing how tomorrow’s healthcare providers deliver care to their patients today. We trust our team to take the time off they need and we've never said no to a time off request.
You have an entrepreneurial mindset and a strong sense of ownership. You don't wait to be told what's broken. Instead, you believe you can figure out any problem that lands in your lap even outside your exact domain. When someone scopes something for three weeks, you ask why it can't be done in three days, and you also know the difference between shipping a fast v0 and cutting a corner that comes back to bite you. You walk the tightrope between craft and speed without falling off either side.
The role
You're obsessed with automating repetitive tasks — your first instinct when you see a manual process is "how do I make this run by itself?" At Metriport, you'll own the internal tooling that keeps our company moving fast. You'll spot the friction, build the fix, and ship it — without waiting to be asked.
