Who We Are:

We’re a private equity-backed company passionate about building impactful businesses, particularly in the health and wellness space. We prioritize a positive, collaborative work environment and value kindness, humility, and professionalism.

You’ll own the overall design and approach, ensuring it directly impacts the success of our portfolio companies.
• Boost Our Workplace Efficiency: You’ll identify opportunities to improve efficiency through digital tools and process automation. Think setting up ETL pipelines, building BI dashboards, and streamlining workflows.
• Be a Tech Communicator: You’ll bridge the gap between technical and non-technical teams. Translating complex concepts into clear language and collaborating with both internal and external stakeholders is key.

You Are:

• A Tech Ninja: You possess a full-stack development skill set, with experience in rapid prototyping, polyglot programming (JavaScript, Python, Go, etc.), and a good understanding of machine learning and data pipelines. Familiarity with RAG systems is a plus!
• A Communication Powerhouse: You can effectively communicate with everyone, from executives to engineers. You’ll translate tech jargon into clear language and represent our company confidently when discussing technical matters.
• A Collaborative Problem-Solver: You thrive on translating broad goals into actionable plans and can work independently or lead a small team.
• A Continuous Learner: You’re committed to improvement and embrace lean/agile methodologies.
• A Team Player: You’re humble, professional, and enjoy working in a positive, collaborative environment.
• Intrinsically Motivated: You’re driven by creating meaningful impact, not just by a paycheck.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering or a related field.
• 10+ years of software development experience, with 5+ years in a leadership role (e.g., solutions architect, technical product manager).
• Technical proficiency in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), software architecture, design patterns, security, and performance.
