What You'll Do:
- Design and evolve critical platform components that support care delivery, data interoperability, and operational automation.
- Develop and refine APIs and service interfaces that enable seamless communication across internal systems and external partners.
- Collaborate with product, clinical, and operations teams to translate real‑world needs into technical solutions that deliver measurable value.
- Write high‑quality, well‑tested code with a focus on maintainability, observability, and long‑term system health.
- Influence architectural direction by contributing to design discussions, evaluating new technologies, and guiding system improvements.
- Support a culture of engineering excellence through mentorship, thoughtful code reviews, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
What You Bring:
- 5+ years of experience building and maintaining production software systems (within a healthcare environment).
- Strong proficiency in a modern, statically typed language such as Rust, Go, or Kotlin (our platform heavily uses Rust).
- Experience designing and implementing APIs and working with documentation frameworks like OpenAPI.
- Solid understanding of distributed systems, relational databases (PostgreSQL), and cloud environments (AWS).
- Familiarity with service‑oriented architectures and modular system design.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and monitoring/observability tools.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively across teams.
- A pragmatic, execution‑focused approach to solving problems.
What We'd Love:
- Experience in healthcare, regulated environments, or clinical data systems.
- Familiarity with health data standards (FHIR, HL7, SMART on FHIR).
- Hands‑on experience with Rust frameworks and tooling (Actix, Serde, Diesel, Tokio).
- Interest in AI/ML applications or integrating intelligent tooling into platform services.

What We Do
Heartbeat Health is a venture-backed health tech startup in New York. We are working to deliver the most effective, efficient, and engaging virtual heart care in the world. By 2030, over 40% of the US population will have heart disease, with direct and indirect costs approaching $1 trillion USD. Heart disease may be the most important health crisis we confront in our time.
Heartbeat addresses this problem via virtual cardiology services that include diagnostic interpretation, telecardiology, and procedural referrals to bring virtual-first care to cardiology, and improve the outcomes and efficiency for cardiac patients.
Our team consists of passionate and proven physicians, engineers, scientists, designers, and founders attacking this problem from first principles, applying human-centered design, and developing evidence-based AI to solve this global issue. We collaborate with the American College of Cardiology, and we have been recognized as one of the 150 most promising digital health startups by CB Insights. We recently closed our Series B funding and are backed by Echo Health Ventures, Optum Ventures, DaVita Venture Group, .406 Ventures, Kindred Ventures, Lerer Hippeau, Designer Fund, and Max Ventures. We’ve been featured in TechCrunch, CNBC, Fast Company, and Forbes.
