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 0→1, 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
