Why this is worth applying to
Only clinicians who are already experienced software engineers with 6+ years of production TypeScript/fullstack experience should consider this. Most clinicians should treat it as a healthcare-adjacent engineering role, not an accessible non-clinical transition.
Who should apply
Clinician-engineers, former software engineers now in healthcare, health informatics professionals with production engineering portfolios, and healthcare graduates with advanced TypeScript/Node/Postgres experience.
CV angle
Frame real healthcare domain knowledge alongside concrete software engineering projects: TypeScript/Node/Express, React/React Native, PostgreSQL data modeling, HIPAA/security/privacy awareness, testing, documentation, and AI SDK integration. Do not imply clinical software experience you do not have; instead connect healthcare workflow understanding to building reliable regulated products.
Skills to highlight
- TypeScript
- Node.js/Express backend development
- React and React Native
- PostgreSQL/SQL data modeling
- HIPAA-compliant security and privacy
- Testing with Vitest/Jest/Cypress
- AI SDK integration
- Technical documentation and monorepo collaboration
