We make smart safety beds for kids with epilepsy, autism, cerebral palsy, and other complex conditions. Nearly 20,000 beds shipped. 10 million nights of safer sleep. For many of those families, it was the first time the parents could sleep too.
We're a profitable, bootstrapped medical technology company with ~50 people at our Denver HQ. The Cubby Bed is covered by insurance in all 50 states, with clinical research backing the product. Revenue grew 18x in the last five years.
Most kids who need a Cubby don't have one yet. Our job is to change that.
This is where you come inYou're our first dedicated software engineer. You're building the engineering foundation from the ground up: production applications and workflows that move conversion, the systems underneath them, and the data infrastructure that ties it together. Wide surface area. You shape the architecture, choose the stack, and own what ships.
We've maxed out what our current systems can do for us. We run on Salesforce, Shopify, Typeform, Talkdesk, Ortto, Kustomer, and a stack of glue between them. The next phase of growth depends on building applications and workflows (patient portals, voice agents, customer-facing apps, AI-assisted operations) that improve customer conversion and help us serve more families.
AI tools are core to how this role works. Claude Code or equivalent is your daily accelerator. We want someone who already builds this way and is excited to push what AI can do for an engineer and an organization.
You'll ship those production apps and workflows. You'll stand up engineering foundations (repos, CI/CD, environments, observability, compliance posture). You'll implement the data warehouse and pipelines under the guidance of our fractional Head of Data Engineering.
This role reports to our Head of Product & Technology. You'll partner closely to scope user needs and define requirements together. From there, building is yours. You'll also work closely with our CEO, VP of Growth, and business systems analyst + collaborate cross-functionally with operations, business development, customer experience, and sales.
Here's what you'll be doingShip customer-facing apps that move insurance conversion. Patient portal v1, voice agent v1, DME portal v1 (search-driven, role-aware), and revenue cycle integrations. The headline metric is lead-to-bed-sold conversion rate. The work is judged on whether that number moves.
Replace Typeform with a custom intake. Route data directly into the warehouse. Tied to faster lead-to-quote turnaround and fewer drop-offs across the DME funnel.
Stand up the data warehouse and engineering foundations. A HIPAA-compliant warehouse, ELT pipelines for Salesforce and Shopify, and modeled core entities. Repos, CI/CD, environment separation, Drata, and observability. Tooling choices are yours, made with guidance from our fractional Head of Data Engineering.
Ship the first AI-assisted revenue workflow. AI-assisted quote review or DME activation alerts.
Set the AI standards. Monitoring, documentation, fallback logic, and quality controls. All production AI workflows meet these standards.
Lead-to-bed-sold conversion is measurably up because of the apps and workflows you've shipped. Cubby has a working engineering function: clean foundations, repeatable shipping, and data we trust. The platform is ready for the next phase of growth and the next product after that.
Here's what we're looking forRequired:
5 to 10 years shipping production systems end-to-end.
Built and shipped production apps that integrate multiple SaaS platforms or data flows in a regulated environment (healthtech, fintech, PCI/payments, SOC 2, identity/auth, banking, insurance, or crypto).
Comfortable implementing data pipelines and warehouse work (SQL, Python, dbt, ELT) under senior data guidance. You don't need to have architected a warehouse from scratch.
Strong across both engineering foundations (GitHub, CI/CD, observability, deployment, environments) and the application layer (TypeScript/React, API design, AI tooling).
Works fluently with AI coding tools (Claude Code or equivalent). Multiplies output with them rather than using them as a chatbot.
Based in Denver or willing to relocate. In-person collaboration with the team matters here.
Strongly preferred:
Founding engineer experience at a YC fintech, insurtech, or healthtech.
Senior/staff engineer at a Series A-C in regulated industry.
HIPAA, SOC 2, payments, checkout, or PCI engineering background.
CS degree preferred but not required. Practical shipping experience beats certifications.
All applications must be submitted through the Job Openings section of the Cubby Beds Careers site.

What We Do
At Cubby Beds, our mission is to help families live better by enabling them with modern safety beds for complex conditions. This vision permeates our day-to-day operations and supports every decision we make. Our core values form the foundation of our success. They shape our products, our culture, our team, and our approach to innovation. People First Always: We believe that people, our team, and the families we serve are at the heart of everything we do. We lead with empathy, treating every person as a human being, not a number. That means listening before acting, valuing diverse perspectives, and designing every solution with care and compassion. Whether it’s a teammate, a parent, or a child, we aim to build trust and lasting relationships. When people feel seen and supported, they become more than customers or coworkers. They become advocates for the impact we’re creating together. Operating with Excellence: Every step in our journey, whether it’s the tape on the box we ship or a company announcement, reflects our commitment to quality, because our work truly matters to the families we serve. We embrace challenges with determination and a deep attention to detail, holding ourselves to a high standard so we never settle for “good enough.” This excellence shows up in both the big picture and the small details, prompting families and healthcare professionals to remark on how intentional and seamless every interaction with Cubby feels. Pioneering with Purpose: We believe “better healthcare is possible,” and we’re here to deliver it. Our inventive spirit shines through questions like “What if?” and “Why not?”. Our innovation always has a clear purpose and problem to solve. We respect the guardrails of healthcare and work within them. Each new feature, product, or partnership is anchored in broadening access and driving meaningful improvements for families, so they can focus on their children’s well-being. We ship quickly, welcome feedback, and iterate. We always keep our purpose in clear view.
