Who we are:

Apella is applying computer vision and machine learning to improve the standard of care in the most critical aspect of healthcare: surgery. We build applications to enable surgeons, nurses, and hospital administrators to deliver the highest quality care.

Who you are:

We’re looking for an engineer who thrives on variety and innovation. If you enjoy working across the stack—bridging infrastructure, backend, and frontend code—this role is for you. You’ll play a vital role in building innovative products, collaborating with designers and product managers to create exceptional user experiences that help elevate the standard of care in healthcare.

In this role you'll:

• Collaborate with product, design, and commercial teams to help define our product suite, which supports medical professionals and hospital administrators.

• Partner with other engineers to define the infrastructure, databases, and APIs that serve as the backbone of our applications.

• Build responsive, modern applications using React, setting a high bar for user experience in healthcare technology.

• Play a role in technical decisions, participating in conversations around system design and architecture to help shape our products.

What you’ll bring:

• 6+ years of experience writing readable, tested, and efficient code.

• A strong dedication to craftsmanship and the quality of your work.

• Proficiency with functional and reactive programming paradigms.

• An intuitive sense of design and empathy for users, helping to build user-friendly experiences.

• Willingness to contribute to discussions on system architecture and design.

• Experience working in healthcare or other regulated industries.

• Familiarity with developing SaaS products for business or enterprise customers.

What to expect from our interview process:

• Chat with Our Recruiter – A quick intro to get to know you and share more about Apella & the role.

• Complete a Coding Exercise – Work through a collaborative coding exercise with one of our engineers.

• Virtual Onsite Interviews – Meet a few team members and dive into areas like collaboration, culture, and role-specific skills. Typically 3-4 interviews.

• Meet with one or two of our founders – Usually “reverse interview” style where you can ask questions and make sure we’re the right fit for you.

Our benefits:

• Competitive salary and stock options

• Flexible vacation policy and a culture that values time for rest and recharging

• Remote-first work environment with unique virtual and in-person events to foster team connection

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance—we’re a healthcare company that prioritizes your health

• 4 months of parental leave for all parents

We’re excited to meet people who bring diverse perspectives and a passion for making an impact. If this role resonates with you, we encourage you to apply—even if you don’t meet every qualification. At Apella, we believe that great ideas come from all backgrounds and experiences.
