Staff Software Engineer, Home Pod

What You’ll Accomplish

First 3 months

• Build a deep understanding of the Home domain, member journeys, and how Home connects to core care experiences (sessions, programs, content).
• Partner with product, design, and data to map the current Home funnel, identify key drop-offs, and prioritize experiments.
• Ship meaningful improvements to our existing React Native Home experience, focusing on performance, reliability, and polish.

First 6 months

• Mentor and pair with engineers on the pod, helping them grow in mobile best practices, code quality, and experimentation mindset.
• Continue to improve our new server-driven UI architecture for Home, collaborating with backend and platform teams to refine APIs, configuration models, and guardrails.
• Deepen and participate in our existing experimentation and measurement framework for Home (e.g., A/B tests, feature flags, event instrumentation) to iterate on layouts, recommendations, and CTAs.

First year

• Own the long-term technical roadmap for the Home pod’s client architecture, balancing flexibility (through server configuration) with a responsive, native-quality member experience.
• Drive cross-team initiatives to improve the end-to-end journey from Home through sessions and care plans, ensuring the surface reliably delivers business outcomes (session bookings, program engagement, retention).
• Raise engineering standards on the pod (testing, observability, reliability, accessibility, performance) and help scale the team’s impact as the product and membership grow.

Who You Are

• Mobile product craftsperson: Care deeply about core flows and how they feel in a member’s hand, from loading behavior and animations to edge cases and error states.
• Experimentation-oriented: Comfortable defining hypotheses, designing experiments, instrumenting funnels, and iterating based on data and qualitative feedback.
• Server-driven UI experience: Designed or worked with server-configured experiences and know how to keep them fast, reliable, and intuitive for both members and internal stakeholders.
• Team mentor and collaborator: Enjoy leveling up a strong but more junior team through pairing, code reviews, design discussions, and clear written communication.
• Owner mindset: Think in terms of systems and business impact, not just tickets—comfortable taking a problem from idea through launch, measurement, and iteration.

Basic Qualifications

• 4+ years of practical software engineering experience, including building and shipping user-facing applications in production.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or foreign equivalent).
• 2+ years of hands-on React Native experience building mobile applications at scale.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing and implementing server-driven UI or configuration-driven presentation layers on mobile or other client platforms.
• Track record of running experiments (e.g., A/B tests or multivariate tests) on core product surfaces and using results to drive roadmap decisions.
• Strong proficiency with TypeScript/JavaScript, React Native, and modern mobile development tooling; familiarity with backend services (e.g., Node/TypeScript, GraphQL, or similar) is a plus.
• Experience working on high-traffic, critical-path surfaces (e.g., home screens, discovery/navigation surfaces, or key funnels).
• Demonstrated ability to mentor and grow other engineers through code reviews, design collaboration, and technical guidance.
• Comfort collaborating with product, design, and data/analytics partners to define metrics, interpret results, and refine experiences.
• Experience in healthcare, consumer apps, or other regulated or data-sensitive environments is a plus.

Compensation & Benefits

• Hybrid role based in San Francisco office (3 days/week in-office).
• Salary: $192,000 - $288,000.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Gender-affirming care, family and fertility planning support, travel reimbursements.
• 401k with 2% company match.
• Learning and development stipend.
• Discounted company stock via ESPP.
