Cadence has been recognized by TIME as one of the Top 100 HealthTech Companies and by LinkedIn as a Top Startup (#4, 2025).
THE ROLE
We're hiring a Software Engineering Intern to build and ship software and AI-powered experiences that support chronic care delivery between visits. You'll work alongside engineers, product managers, clinicians, and operational partners, taking ownership of a defined project from design and prototyping through production rollout. Your work will sit at the intersection of AI, healthcare data, and distributed systems, helping extend clinical capacity while keeping human judgment and accountability central to care.
The problems we’re solving sit at the intersection of AI, messy healthcare data, and distributed systems. Our impact is measured by patients living healthier, longer lives: our studies show that translates to a 27% drop in hospitalizations.
We’re looking for interns who identify as product-minded builders and care as much about the outcome as the implementation. We are looking for those who thrive in a fast-paced environments, take ownership from inception to launch, and are motivated by solving hard problems that improve patients’ lives.

WHAT YOU NEED:
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or an equivalent field, with an expected graduation date in December 2027 or May/June 2028
- Prior internship, project, or equivalent hands-on experience in software engineering
- Strong problem-solving skills and eagerness to learn new technologies
- A product-first mindset - you care about shipping quickly, but also about the real-world impact of your code in improving patient outcomes
- Ability to communicate technical decisions and work effectively with engineering and cross-functional partners
- Fluency with AI-assisted development tools and the ability to evaluate where AI accelerates the build versus where human judgment is required
COMPENSATION & PERKS:
- Autonomy to tackle big, complex problems that matter
- An opportunity to improve lives every single day

Cadence (cadence.care) Insights
What We Do
Cadence is future-proofing primary care for an aging population. We’re building the first AI-native chronic disease platform – extending the doctor’s office beyond the visit and enabling health systems to deliver proactive care at home. Powered by our care intelligence and multidisciplinary clinical team, we monitor every patient, identify risks early, and act before problems escalate. Today, more than 90,000 seniors across 20 health systems rely on Cadence to stay healthier at home. Every day, more than 7,000 Americans age into Medicare, most with complex, ongoing health needs. Traditional healthcare was built for episodic visits, not for the continuous support that chronic care requires. The result? Overwhelmed health systems, rising costs, and patients who fall through the cracks. Cadence solves this problem. Our platform seamlessly integrates with a health system’s existing clinical workflow, using AI and machine learning to continuously monitor patient data, detect trends, and trigger timely interventions. We pair this technology with a nationally licensed clinical team that collaborates directly with each patient’s physician ensuring that every alert turns into meaningful, compassionate action. This hybrid model of technology + clinical care is what sets Cadence apart. We don’t just collect data; we turn insights into outcomes. Behind our platform is a world-class team of engineers, clinicians, and operators, all united by a shared mission — to make compassionate, continuous care accessible at scale. We tackle big, complex challenges with cutting-edge technology and deep empathy, knowing that every improvement we make has a direct impact on real people’s lives. Together, we’re building a system where technology amplifies humanity — and every patient gets the care they deserve, every day.
Why Work With Us
We’re a collaborative, learning-driven engineering culture tackling one of the toughest problems in tech - healthcare at scale. At Cadence, you’ll ship real-world systems that impact thousands of patients, gain exposure to cutting-edge AI and data science, and grow alongside teammates who value curiosity, humility, and excellence.
