About Stellar Health:
Healthcare costs are one of the biggest problems in the United States today. At Stellar Health, we are building a platform that helps Healthcare Providers (doctors and support staff) improve the quality of care they provide while also reducing their costs. In the end, these improvements make patients healthier.
Stellar Health’s product is actively used by over 300 Medical Groups - and we have shown that we make a real difference for these practices and their patients.
It’s an exciting time to join the Stellar Team: we have an established product, proven operating model, and we are well funded.
Stellar is looking for Lead Software Engineers for our Engineering Team.
About the position:
Stellar Health is looking for a Lead Software Engineer to shape the technical vision and implementation of our web-based products and data systems that are integral to our continued growth. This role is a great fit for candidates with several years of software engineering experience delivering data-heavy, full-stack web applications, best-in-class user experiences, and reliable, scalable infrastructure.
As a Tech Lead, you’ll lead the technical development of creative solutions that will ultimately help clinicians take actions that keep people healthier, thereby lowering the overall costs of healthcare. You will also get to partner closely with our founding team on defining product roadmap, specifications, and priorities, while leading and growing a team of developers.

- You have a servant leadership mindset and are excited by a role that asks you to lead by example and support your direct reports.
- You have the ability to wear many hats and love working in a dynamic environment; we move quickly and we need a leader who will too.
- You’re a champion of software development best practices, and enjoy tackling challenges in architecture, scalability, performance, and more.
- You love being an active contributor to your company’s Engineering Culture; serving as a technical mentor and holding your engineers to high standards.
Tech Leads should have:
- 6+ years experience in writing production code and delivering features for end-users
- The ability and drive to work independently, prioritize effectively, and manage multiple priorities and cross-functional stakeholders
- A strong sense of accountability; you take pride in what you build and want it to be useful for others on your team
- A strong desire to mentor direct reports, and help them develop in their careers
- Experience with Django or other web-based frameworks preferred, but not a must
- Python experience or experience with other backend languages (Java / C++ / Go / Ruby) and a desire to learn.
- Some understanding of Javascript fundamentals; previous experience delivering front end components is a nice-to-have
