Senior Software Engineer, Product

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Product team, you will design and build the features that healthcare providers interact with every single day as they care for patients. As an OpenAI portfolio company, you will be surrounded by the leading minds in AI and exposed to the latest advancements in our field.

In the first 6 months, you'll take ownership of meaningful product initiatives end-to-end — from shaping the experience with our product and design partners to shipping high-quality code that reaches clinicians in production. You'll be a key voice in how we build, ensuring we move fast without sacrificing the reliability and craftsmanship our users depend on.

Our engineering roles are hybrid – working onsite at our San Francisco office three days per week.

• Design and architect major product features leveraging the latest advancements in AI to deliver a magical user experience
• Anticipate system bottlenecks and proactively re-architect key system components before they create issues for our customers
• Lead product initiatives with high strategic value, accelerating speed of iteration while preventing accumulation of technical debt
• Hold the codebase to a high standard, and assist in developing engineering processes that encourage shipping high quality code

• You have a Bachelors degree and 5+ years of experience, or equivalent
• You have 5+ years experience tackling challenging zero-to-one software engineering problems that have spanned multiple teams
• You have a strong product instinct – you think about the end user experience, not just the technical implementation
• You're comfortable moving across the stack to take projects to the finish line, with solid experience in modern web technologies and cloud infrastructure (e.g. AWS/GCP, Postgres, Docker)
• You have a demonstrated ability to own execution from inception through to successful outcomes
• You are a low-ego team player who prioritizes co-discovering the best ideas, even if they're not your own
• You value being a kind, encouraging, and supportive teammate
• You thrive in environments with high levels of complexity, uncertainty, and ambiguity

Working at Ambience means opting into a high-ownership, high-trust environment built for people who want to grow fast, operate decisively and focus on work that matters. This could be the right place for you if you want to

• Work on mission-critical AI technology that directly improves clinicians’ day-to-day lives and health system financial health across some of the most complex, high-stakes workflows in the world.
• Join a “dream team” culture where we hire exceptional people, expect exceptional outcomes and invest deeply in feedback and continuous growth. We operate as a championship team, and that means being ok with hard, uncomfortable, ambiguous problems that lead to real greatness.
• Operate with real ownership and accountability in an environment where there are no bystanders: If something is broken, we fix it! You will have meaningful autonomy and be expected to drive work to completion.
