About the role
About Sprinter Health: At Sprinter Health, our mission is reimagining how people access care by bringing it directly to their homes. Nearly 30% of patients in the U.S. skip preventive or chronic care simply because they can’t get to a doctor’s office. For many, the ER becomes their first touchpoint with the healthcare system—driving over $300B in avoidable costs every year. By using the same technologies that power leading marketplace and last-mile platforms, we deliver care where people are, especially those who need it most. So far, we’ve supported more than 2 million patients across 22 states, completed 130,000+ in-home visits, and maintained a 92 NPS . Our team of clinicians, technologists, and operators have raised over $125M to date investors like a16z, General Catalyst, GV, and Accel and enjoy multi-year runway.
About
the Role We’re looking for a Senior Backend or Full-Stack Software Engineer (5+ years experience) who wants to build the core systems that power last-mile healthcare delivery. At Sprinter, you’ll work on products that blend logistics, patient experience, safety, and medical operations—building and scaling backend services, data flows, integrations, and in-product experiences that directly determine whether patients get care. From routing clinicians and powering booking flows to integrating medical devices and preventing clinical errors, you’ll own complex, high-impact systems from 0→1. If you want to solve real problems with code and ship product that changes access to care, this is that role.

We care deeply about work-life balance and are happy to provide flexibility when life happens. We ask that employees be in the office Monday through Thursday to collaborate with their teams while maintaining flexibility where it matters most. Lunch is provided every day, and the entire team takes an hour to eat together. It's one of the ways we stay connected outside of meetings. You'll usually find us playing a board game before getting back to work.
